    I'm looking to get involved in a new sport. The gym and weights is all well and good, but I'd like to get stuck into a high-intensity sport, where I am getting a killer workout by just doing the sport, rather than having to push myself in the gym. Basically I'm thinking I've become too focussed on fat loss and on analysing the best way to do it via weight and cardio and would love to get stuck into a sport that I enjoy in and of itself, rather than with just fat loss as the focus.

    So I'm thinking there prob is anything any more high intensity than squash. Can anyone suggest a place to play squash in the Ringsend/D4 area, if they have done it before, and how they found it for fat loss/fitness? It's something I've always been vaguely interested in, have played tennis over the years and enjoy it too.

    Cheers

    UCD is the only place I know around D4 area.

    What about the climbing wall? That is definitely high intensity with a good all over work out.

    Can't beat a bit of running - it's free and you get the adrenalin pumping. I love when I start out a bit tired and grumpy and then around the 3 mile mark my legs start moving without any effort and I find my stride. Then repeat at mile 6.

    I used to get the same amused/slightly amazed feeling from cycling home drunk - I don't know how I'm doing it but I am.
