    Tennis. Basketball (full court). Golf (walking, carrying clubs).

    The best is whatever you will do consistently!

    It helps to have a variety of movements and a mix of strength and cardio.

    Whats the difference of running/walking and weightlifting? it seems whatever I do, there result isn t what I want it to be. I eat what I should eat, never over my calories, I do sports but seem to gain weight :(

    I play tennis of course and it ticks a lot of boxes for me. It alternates bursts of running and sprinting with bits of walking and resting - between points and changing ends. It is interval training without the stopwatch, fun and social, you only need one other person and men can play with women.

    I imagine a lot of team sports incorporate these positives. My friend plays masters hockey in a mixed team, for instance. Field hockey, I should say, since we are international here.

    Very true. As soon as you do something you hate, it wont work. Thanks for all your replies
