Maintaining your health through the winter can be difficult, so it’s essential to find a wellness hobby that you can take indoors. If you’re tired of hockey, skiing, or snowboarding, visit your local sporting goods store to purchase equipment like basketballs, volleyballs, or join a indoor soccer league to keep you active through the colder season.

A Guide to Indoor Sports

1. Volleyball

Although volleyball is associated with the beach, indoor volleyball gives you the same benefits and gameplay with the bonus of extra traction while you play. You'll tone up from serving, blocking, and attacking the ball. Volleyball is not only great cardio, but it will also improve your hand-eye coordination. 

2. Boxing

Perfect for total-body strength, cardio, and becoming more aware of your body, boxing is an all-in-one exercise sport. It often reduces stress for people who participate in it regularly, because taking out microaggressions on the punching bag can provide relief and ease tension. Boxing gyms are usually located in all major cities, but if you want something less intense, try out a boxercise lesson at your local gym.

3. Basketball 

Basketball is a total-body workout that requires coordination and focus. Whether you’re dribbling the ball or attempting to stay in your zone, this is a cardio and endurance sport, with periods of intense running with small breaks. Popular in leagues across America, it has an inexpensive start-up cost, and most sporting good stores carry low-cost equipment.

4. Track

Track is a pure cardio workout that can push you to your limits. There are multiple ways to participate in this sport, including hurdles, short-distance sprints, and longer runs. The primary benefit of this sport is that it can be practiced anywhere. In the beginning, participating in any cardio-based activity, such as running on a treadmill or using an elliptical, will improve your overall endurance.

5.   Indoor Soccer

Joining a Indoor Soccer League is Fun for all ages.
