Shaking up your exercise routine

When a workout starts to feel stale, a random sport is an easy way to try something different. The wheel offers 15 options, from basketball and tennis to pickleball, and each has an equal chance. It is also a practical tool for PE teachers choosing an activity for the day.

Pair it with a rule: whatever comes up is what you do this weekend, no negotiation. Newer sports are a good way to meet people, and the unfamiliar ones often turn out to be the most fun.

Making it fit your area

Remove sports you cannot play locally and add ones you can, such as disc golf, climbing or swimming. For a group, give each person a veto they can use once.
