Ultimate Frisbee.
Lots of pick up games just about everywhere. People are generally friendly and welcoming to all skill levels including beginners. Great exercise and very fun to play.

This is not disc golf, full of hippies. I've met many really good athletes that started playing ultimate as their main sport as they get into late 20s and beyond.

That's the reason I'm in need of a new hobby - last time I played I blew out ACL. Although I did dominate LTF in Novi during lunch hour for a good year or two....

Those outfits are not mandatory.

Kayaking is a great time, and does a pretty good job of working your body. I would recommend it a random activity 1-2 times a week during Summer.

I've got the same problem as you, same age, as well. I tore my ACL when I was young and had it repaired but that knee (and my other one) have deteriorated from doing stupid shit like running a marathon and I think I just have bad knees in general. Now I can't do much that puts a beating on them without causing pretty severe arthritis pain, and if I do anything that requires side-to-side mobility I risk dislocating them. I also used to like to lift, but I now somehow have tendinosis of my right bicep, meaning it's starting to fray, so I can't do much lifting with my upper body because it causes pain when doing anything involving my arm - chest, back, triceps, shoulders, etc. My doc said it may get to the point eventually where the pain is gone and I can try to slowly get back into lifting but it's been over a year now and it hasn't let up. Hoping I get there.

I took up mountain biking and really like it but would also like to try something else. Was thinking about swimming but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Getting old sucks. I can still drink, so there's that.

Anyway, thread is of interest to me.

How big is your yard?

Half acre'ish

Bob you responded to those posts but not the original one? The one where I called you a fat hippie?

This is something I want to get in to. But there aren't a whole lot of opportunities for 24-year-old girls to do this, as far as I know.

Golf, but walk and carry your clubs.

Landscape. You ever see any out of shape landscapers?

Use a push mower. Bag the clippings. Carry bag to compost pile. Compost bagged mulched or raked leaves. Add kitchen waste. Turn compost pile with a pitchfork twice a month. Use a wheelbarrow to distribute the compost to the perennial beds you're going to build. Use wheelbarrow to move around the 3 yards of mulch you're going to have delivered every spring. Build a patio and some low retaining walls around raised beds.

Lifting pushing moving crouching carrying etc.

Listen to podcasts while you do all this and learn about various things.

Add value to your property while you invest sweat equity.

Get stronger.

Profit.
