What is best sport for conditioning?

[Zaralybr]

Hey guys! If you had to choose a sport other than bodybuilding or powerlifting, what would you choose for overall conditioning? We all know that different sports create different bodies, so which one would be for you?

For me it is boxing – I really like the veryuniversal conditioning they get – both endurance, and strength. Itis a very demanding sport in terms of physique, and I had the chanceto experience this. Back then my body was the best ever, and I feltgreat without the need to go to gyms or anything like that.

This. My best fitness was when I ran and used weights.

That is new to me - just running is good for conditioning? Maybe something additional would be good?

My vote would be a triathlon - running, swimming and biking. Those guys are serious athletes.

Especially the swimming. Both running and biking and great for building conditioning but swimming is particularly good. Swimming is a full body exercise and really gets your body working like nothing else.

Spend an hour doing laps in a pool and you will feel exhausted after. I promise you that!

I think it is just important to pick something you enjoy. That way you are more likely to stick to it.
