The list of sports is almost endless, but today we are going to focus on sports that even the laziest person can play. This includes sports that take the least amount of physical activity and excludes sports that involve running.

4. Snowboarding
Snowboarding is one of the easiest winter disciplines you can learn. It doesn’t require a lot of body strength, but you may need to work on your balance.
Another great thing about snowboarding is that you always need to take the ski lift to move uphill which means less strain on your body. If you hate winter and cold weather, then this isn’t the sport for you.

6. Archery
Shooting arrows can greatly increase your focus and your hand-eye coordination. The greatest thing about archery is that it doesn’t require too much effort.
After practicing archery for a couple of weeks, you will be able to ignore all distractions that can affect your shot. This skill translates into your everyday life which can be quite beneficial.
Costs to start archery: Generally archery isn’t expensive, you can shoot on a private range for around $30 the whole summer. However, if you want to have your own gear, it will cost around $200 – $300.
7. Playing Pool
Apart from the great fun, playing pool builds focus, improves critical thinking and sharpens your mind. You can either play billiards or snooker, but snooker is a lot harder than billiard.
If you cannot afford to buy a pool table at your house, you can easily access lots of billiard and snooker clubs with a lot of affordable prices.
8. Darts

Costs to play a game of bowling: $6 -$10 per person, or $30 – $50 per hour.
10. Ski Jumping
You may think that this is a really dangerous winter sport, but according to statistics, it’s one of the safest. I have always wondered how do they survive such heights without any injuries, and the answer turned out to be because they land on steep hills so the force wasn’t targeting their legs.
Overall, this is a great sport that will definitely give you an adrenaline rush!
11. ESports
Nowadays gaming is considered a sport. It’s widely popular and will probably be featured in the next Olympic games. You can still be a casual gamer for fun, but you can also look at gaming as a job. Many gamers earn a lot of money from Youtube and Twitch while playing their favorite games.
