Most people want to have workouts including exercising. Doing a hundred push ups is not fun. So this is why you should start doing workouts with sports. Basketball and soccer is a good idea but you it is quite hard to play by yourself. These are like team sports. You should consider events which you can do by yourself. Try considering sports in which you can play by yourself. For one I can give you is golf. It's not hard and everyone can learn to play it. Bowling is another one.

Some sports help you burn more calories. It all depends on your movement. Such as golf or bowling burns less calories while soccer or basket ball burn slightly more. You have a nice, large area in your house try considering in purchasing a table tennis table. Everyone starts off as a novice and slowly moves on to an expert. If you are a novice, face a novice. You may find that the game is a bit boring because you spent more time picking up ball than hitting them. Once you become an expert, you'll be moving non stop. As I say practice makes perfect. Once you really get into the game, it's easier to burn calories. From all that movement, you would be exhausted.

From my experience, I find that playing soccer really tires you out. Running back and forth chasing the ball is really tiring. For me, it would burn a lot of calories out of me.  Sports are meant for everyone whether you are like non-active.

As there is a different sport suitable for everybody, there is no excuse for not being good at anything. Some do not involve too much physical activities which can lead to burning less calories but it is suitable for some people.

There are sports for everyone whether you are athletic or non-athletic. Golf, bowling are considered non-athletic therefore it will not help you burn a great deal of calories.

Remember never to go overboard. Exercising through sports for over a long period of time can lead to bad health. Resting your muscles is also part of burning calories. A good sleep or rest will help you through your sports
