What are some sports that I can do alone?

I have started lifting weights three times a week and running for 45 minutes every morning. But I am looking for a sport to supplement this all with.

I am a pretty introverted person and don't want to have to be part of a team or join a club or anything, I'd rather have a sport that I can do by myself. TIA.

...sport that you can do by yourself? That doesn't really make it a sport now does it?

I guess the closest thing would be track, gymnastics, or body building. Everything else requires some form of team training.

>>...sport that you can do by yourself?

Bike racing, mountain climbing, kayaking, marathon running, golf, etc.

You can even look at the solo training that people involved in other sports do. Like baseball players using one of those ball launching machines in a batting cage, boxers doing bag work, basketball players practicing freethrows, martial artists doing katas, etc.

As long as you don't desire to actually compete with other people in the sport, then there is plenty of stuff that you can do alone. If you do want to compete, then you'll probably have to eventually start training with other people who are already involved in the sport.

Of course you can do sports alone, to the person a couple of posts up. There called extreme sports. Roller blading, skateboarding, snowboarding, biking, rock climbing, etc

I hate it when i see ppl recommend snowboarding/surfing. All that does is crowd my slopes/parks/breaks with assholes that dont know proper etiquette.

If you do want to try out the sports, you better have an experienced rider with you...

If you have no climbing experience, mountain climbing or rock climbing without learning from someone else will get you killed. And by "learning from someone else" I mean "spending a lot of time with another person who you have to trust with your life". So I'd say that those two aren't for you.

As suggested, gymnastics, biking, and golf are good. You can always shoot hoops, or juggle a soccer ball.

If you want to start a sport to gain the athletic and fitness benefits that team sports normally deliver, without having to interact with others, try some of the more hardcore lifting/exercise routines. Train like the guys in "The World's Strongest Man" contests. Prepping for that kind of event will put you in good shape, if you're serious about it, as well as build muscular endurance and coordination.

yup. You apparently know nothing of the mentioned sports. They are not solo sports from the 'get go'...so should not be recommended to the OP

3 times a week is not enough. You need to go everyday.

In your microcycle (which is about a week), you should increase loads from 40% 50% 60% back to 50%, slowly increasing max, every other day for your core.

On the rest of those days, you should have the same schedule for ligaments and stretching. Most weight trainers began with arms, usually looking at a mirror while curling. Don't do that, forget your limbs for the first year and work on your core first (abs, back, lower chest).

Also, you need to hit 30-150 reps per set, before a rest interval.

All of this you can do alone, since I assume you already have a gym membership

Solo Sports? I guess Skateboard, Rollerblade, Hiking, Mountain Climbing, Mountain Biking, Cycling (race bikes), Surfing, Snowboarding, Treeclimbing, Golfing, but each one of these (especially Surfing imo) would be vastly easier if you did it with an instructor / people who know wtf they're doing. if you happen to get the urge to do a team sport...

...Find out if you have a Rugby team near you. I just began playing this season, and while it can be a bit confusing @ first & brutal, it's fun as hell :D
