Running
Get your trainers on and run run run, how far is up to you.
Skateboarding
Skateboarding will always
be one of the most challenging and aesthetically inspiring ways of
telling gravity he’s nothing but a big girl’s blouse.
Surfing
This is one laid-back, sociable, egalitarian sport so book yourself a short-break surfing trip tailored to the
needs of landlocked Londoners.
Feature continues
Cold swimming
With Britain’s lakes and rivers cleaner than ever before, outdoor
swimming – popular with hearty types back in the early 1900s – is
making a comeback. There are still 13 open air pools and lidos
in London so, with our summers hotting up, take a deep breath and go for the plunge.
Improving swimming technique
Forget about thrashing about counting your laps, learn to swim with grace, efficiency and aesthetics.
Walking
Low-impact walks in the city or countryside, in the evenings and at the weekends.
Women only
Football, handball, martial arts, basketball, rugby and rowing, all exclusively for the fairer sex.
