The best shape I've ever been in was during Water Polo season in High School. That chit is no joke. Insanely strong once your conditioning is on point.

Wrestling, obviously. Boxing is a very close second.

Yeah, that was a tough one that I left off but it was on my list of 12 or 14. I wasn't on the team but I have played it and you are right,

wrestling is too injury prone as an adult

it's also height restricting during puberty/teen years


not the best sport to get into

Tempted to say boxing but...

...there are overweight - supposedly elite - boxers.

How can a sport in which top competitors can be overweight or even obese win the best fitness sport competition? Let's say golf too.

I'll say athletics where you have compound events like heptathlon, pentathlon etc.

Balance.

Rugby is great besides how hard it is on you.
Triathlon overdoes aerobic fitness when this is not the healthiest shape.

I went with hockey. Strength and aerobic fitness, not excessively breaking you like football.

Gymnastics will get you ripped but I worry about the strain you put on your joints. But it will definitely get you stronger and agile for sure.

Hardest chit I've ever done was MMA / wrestling / boxing

Easiest poll ever because the answer is clear as day, I've also tried everything on that list.

MMA is in its own tier. The absolute top. You're not just "exercising" LOL, you're getting physically hurt/abused, while getting an adrenaline dump and pushing your body to its FULLEST potential.

[youtube]Fcykdj4g-mI[youtube][/QUOTE]So just take that and add in getting punched/kicked in the face/body, start bleeding in extreme pain and just know the abuse doesn't stop until you're KO'd....But before that you're adrenaline kicks in and doesn't last long so you drown.

I'm sorry but this is comical if any of you guys think there's a tougher sport than MMA, just LMAO

Edit: ^^ to dopamine. It's not toughest sport. It's what gets you in the best shape. I can argue that soccer gets you in better shape that mma. Easily.

When I was a freshman in HS I got a pretty brutal hip flexor pull from soccer. On my own I decided to use the pool to rehab. Then I thought why not use it to help get in shape. I would run around the pool and create a massive whirlpool, and do egg beater and treading as intense as possible (sister played water polo).

That **** was no joke and not only completely healed my hip flexor, but improved my conditioning.

Waterpolo you get kicked and elbowed constantly,,and you never stop swimming, or egg beatering, it's a constant strain on your body for an hour plus at times..while MMA can be over in 20 seconds.

Don't get me wrong, MMA is brutal, and you need to be in top shape, but try playing College level water Polo, you'll be drained within 10 minutes, but you have to go on for 3 more quaters

I've done both

For me it was the treading water after already being tired that kicked my ass

But no, just no bro....Its almost disrespectful to say water-polo is more difficult than MMA

Nothing and I mean nothing will tire any man out more than fighting

MMA gets you in the overall best shape. Triathlons are so cardio-intensive that it lowers test and diminishes muscle mass. So while they have good endurance, they sacrifice strength and fast-twitch explosiveness

Gymnastics and boxing get you in extremely good shape. Maybe swimming too
