5 activities which are so much fun they shouldn’t be considered sports

Roller skating is one of the most fun activities

Boredom is the root of all the fun things that we do in life. To prevent the onset of boredom, mankind invented activities that could cheer up even a snail and games are the most common things that allow people to enjoy their life.

As time passed, these very activities became sports that people began to play professionally. This makes sense as the earning potential in these activities makes it irresistible for money-magnets who seize their chance to earn more of the green stuff.

Here are 5 fun activities that are also played as professional sports:

Roller skating

Nearly every child’s favourite activity as a kid would have been moving around on roller skates with their friends. It is a common sight watching kids with huge smiles skating on the streets. While it might be a little risky to skate on the street, it is an experience that one should have at least once in their life.

This is such a fun sport that you are sure to lose track of time while skating, which is where having a Reflex watch can make sure you don’t miss bae’s call for tonight’s date.

Bowling

What’s more fun than seeing 10 pins crashing down?

What sport could you play with your friends when you are bored and not expend a lot of energy? Bowling would be the answer for a lot of us as that is one activity which is extremely fun, not tiring, but still a sport. It isn’t far away from being considered a hobby, either!

Knocking down 10 pins from a distance with a ball is one of the oldest sports. It is so old that we’ve even seen Fred Flintstone do it in ‘The Flintstones’ – a cartoon about the stone age! It is one activity where it is easy to lose track of time as you’re having a ball, and that’s where the Fastrack reflex comes as a blessing in disguise with its timer and alarm feature!

Ultimate Frisbee

Frisbee is such a wonderful activity that not only humans, but even dogs love it. Whenever someone throws a Frisbee, every dog in the whole world wags its tail and jumps around to catch it while returning it quickly to its loving master — that is just how wonderful this activity is.

If there is a dull day at home, all one needs is a Frisbee and a couple of people to play the game. There is also a sport based on this, which can only make us wonder why more people don’t play in this awesome competition.

Pool

Pool has made a successful transition from a recreational activity to a full-blown sport

After a long and hard day’s work, there are only a few things better than a game of pool with friends. Using the cue stick to put the balls in the right holes without expending too much energy is a genuine way to spend a lovely evening with the pals.

Indeed, if you go into a pool club, you will see a lot of people playing against each other in a competitive way where money is involved. This is perhaps how this fun activity became a sport since the financial potential within it was quite handsome.

Beach volleyball

What’s more pleasing than lying down on the beach with the sun’s rays caressing your body while you witness beautiful people swimming in the sea? Playing volleyball on the beach, obviously! This activity gets even better when the game is played between mixed genders.

Jokes aside, beach volleyball is one of the most popular activities that people do beside the shores of the sea. All one needs is a ball, two sticks and a net and that’s it! After that, it is all giggles and chitchat while having a lovely time with your beach buddies.

People who professionally play all these aforementioned ‘sports’ are the luckiest ones ever!
