I remember in my last year of High School a couple of friends and I hated sport so much we convinced the sport teacher to just let us walk around the town for exercise, rather than getting involved in sweaty, dirty sports. Now I feel it was a bit of a cop out, probably could've benifited from the exercise. Not to worry! And other than being a sport, it's a winter sport! I hate the cold, but I really enjoy g...
