Poll of the Day > How athletic are you?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'd say mildly athletic (I mean, by average person standards). I am a slow runner, not very strong and have little stamina, but so many people are fat and out of shape, so it kind of averages out. And I'd say my coordination is decent and I'm above-average in terms of picking up sport-specific skills.

I do a fair bit of lifting and I fairly regularly play football and some other sports, but I wouldn't call myself 'athletic'. If I have to run, I'm usually on the brink of a heart attack.

I don't have much stamina, but average in terms of athleticism in other regards.
---

I am a not runner... I can't run, literally can't - I don't have the tendons for it.

But I can do stairs like a boss, I'm probably the best stairs guy on GameFAQs

i could beat most of you in basketball

Id make LeBron insecure if I met him

I'm in awful shape but I put on muscle quick and I am agile so idk what to say following your explanation.

I don't understand this, wouldn't that make you in pretty good shape? Do you mean you are also just fat? That you would put on muscle easily but don't actually bother to lift? Have bad stamina?

Not very, I'm super lazy and fairly out of shape. I'm still slim and can run/jog decent distances considering how inactive I generally am and my poor diet. I guess I lucked up and got good genes somehow to at least look kind of athletic.

I do nothing so I'm a little overweight, however in the past I was somewhat active and was naturally cut. I've never done anything with the intent of getting in shape.

Very unathletic. Coordination is okay at best, I'm fat, slow, not particularly strong. Pretty much the only thing I have going for me are some decently strong legs from speed walking and marching band, but that's it.

Not at all.
But I'm 5'7" and 130lbs so I don't feel I need to be.

None.

Below average in about every category.

Very athletic and I'm a decent runner but not incredibly strong at the moment.Haven't found a gym in my area so I'm stuck with bodyweight exercises for now.

Way to leave out the "average person standards" part. You don't need to be a powerlifter or marathon runner to play pickup basketball or whatever

Honestly, I'm pretty fricking athletic. Not pro level, obviously, but compared to the average population, I'm pretty athletic.

I'm pretty agile, I play basketball often. I can dunk a basketball. I lift weights. Pretty decent cardio. I'm probably like a d2 athlete if I had to classify my athleticism

How do you dunk a basketball besides being really tall, that's one of my life goals

Grew up playing team sports with soccer being my main one. Did track and field for a few years--4x100, 4x400, triple jump. Played intramurals throughout college (flag football, volleyball, ultimate frisbee). Still playing flag football.

I'm always been a fast runner but I have never exercised regularly. If it isn't a game or practice, I'm chillin.

By being athletic?

I'm only like 6 foot 1 or 6 foot 2

I can run consistent 4.5-5 minute miles for about four miles, and I'm in my 30s.

I'm 5'11" and I can at least touch the net, I wanna say maybe I've touched the rim once before. Am I at a good starting point?

I challenge you to a stairing contest.

I won't be breaking any records or doing any really crazy stuff but I think it's safe to say I'm pretty up there.

I play FCS football, weigh around 255, and can do back flips, hand springs, kip-ups, walk on my hands, etc. Flexibility plays a big part though I think.
---

I've been lazy my whole life, in my teen years I was quite a fast runner, could run 100m in 11.5-12.5 seconds.
---

I play inline hockey twice a week, dek once, and lift two or three times. But I also eat a lot of junk food.

I squat 480. I bench 280. I can single hand row 110. Shoulder press 60 each. Calf raise with 315 on a barbell. So I'm pretty strong. I can sprint hella fast. But I probably couldn't jog a mile without dying, or taking fifteen minutes. My lost distance endurance sucks. I'm 30, btw.

first bold is the reason why.

I almost made the football team for Maryland but I injured Muh back

Martial arts tournament competitor, golfer, teach aerobics. I'm in much better shape than I was in my 20's.

I work an office job, so that should give you all the info you need.

I can basically choose to be un-athletic or I can have tons of muscle and bone problems that require surgery. Doesn't seem to be any middle ground. I do try to eat healthy enough so I don't become overweight though.
---

Not at all.
---

Reasonably athletic. I try to run 30km a week, and usually succeed. But that's where my athleticism these days ends. I have effectively no upper body strength as I sit at a desk all day and basically never pick up any weights.
---

I'd call myself athletic in terms of exercising, but damn do I hate sports. Recently ran 6 miles in 55 minutes, so I'm pretty happy about that.

haha, I'm p much the opposite of this. But I'd like to get better at exercising on my own in a routine fashion.
---

Yeah, I like sports but I was never very athletic. Well, at least not athletic enough to play them in an organized fashion, unless intramurals counts.

Fairly athletic with basketball, baseball and tennis and whatever other random things that pop up.
---

On a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being the least athletic and 10 being the most, I'm an 8.

I used to enjoy basketball, baseball, and football (American), but I always get hurt playing them. Decided to leave my competitive side to video games lol

Whatever "fat" this board claims they see in pictures, is actually muscle.

You should get your eyes check. I only have a single chin.

Sunny isn't that fat, but he doesn't look athletic either. But come on, dude, you're not an 8/10. Nobody on this board is an 8. An 8 is probably the minimum threshold of a pro athlete, like a Bartolo Colon.

One, never said you were fat.
Two, no, it aint.

my dog motivates me to go for a walk every day for an hour every afternoon provided it isn't raining.

That is actually very impressive. I have lots of hills in my area. My Fitbit says I do the equivalent of about 75 flights of stairs on my 4 mile jog. I can only average about 10 mins per mile on that course.

Yeah, keeping up 5 minute miles for 20 minutes straight is actually really damn good, and can usually only be accomplished by experience runners.

It took me a long time to get my 10km down to an hour, and this guy is on pace to do a 10km in like 30 minutes.
