Taking up a sport is an excellent way to lose weight while also having fun. But if we’re being honest with ourselves, even sports can be sometimes hard to play when we’re out of shape. If this is true for you, then baseball might be a good balanced sport for you to take up. Here’s why we think that you should start playing it if you’re trying to stay more active.

It Doesn’t Require Much Effort

This sounds like a patronizing thing to say, but there’s nothing wrong with admitting that you’re out of shape. One of the cool things about baseball is that it requires cardio, but in random spurts. You’ll find yourself getting good exercise while playing it, and then take large breaks when that’s what the game calls for. It’s a very slow-moving sport, which is why it’s a great option for exercise if you haven’t done it in a while.

It’s Super Fun

As mentioned before, baseball is a super fun sport. And it’s also a great one to play if you’re a fan of old-school American traditions, ones that seem to be going out of style. Make no mistake—even if it seems like no one plays baseball in your area, there are plenty of groups you can find that play it.
