Before you commit

Callisthenics

  • Being stuck on basics that look easy would wound your ego.
  • You need fast, visible gains rather than slow incremental ones.
  • Solitary repetitive bodyweight reps with no machine sounds dull to you.

Disc Golf

  • Bushwhacking for lost discs in the rough would sour every round.
  • Throws that curve hard left no matter your aim would enrage you.
  • You want consistency now, not after years of reading flight.
