Boxing. I have and I know.

Gymnasts - strength, flexibility, speed, decent cardio - total package.

Rowers - strength, cardio, endurance. - total package.

Agreed, having been a boxer in the Army it was the hardest individual thing I ever did. End the thread.

I suppose it's different to the other sports mentioned because no one is trying to kick your head in while you do them.

Boxing.... All the above.

Boxing.... All the above.

Agreed. You get hit too. 3 rounds on the pads means puking.

 

[Gabriel]

Judo. Munching lots of oranges also helps.

Having a fight. It takes it out of you big time. So boxers for me.

I was quite fit when I was in the Army, did all the sports possible and loved being paid to do it but when I did Boxing it was the worst. Only did 3 rounds in amateur boxing but was on my arse after the first always, never felt a punch and never heard the crowd but was fucked for 2 days afterwards. For the record I did 22 fights and got absolutely battered in my last, never again Haha.

I'd have to go with the triathletes nomination. A 1.5 km swim, followed by a 40 km bike ride, followed by a 10 km run (that's the Olympic Games version, anyway). I'd have a job driving 10 km, never mind running it!

Try doing it on ice with blades strapped to the bottom of your feet.
