スポーツ選択の検討
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hello guys.
So let's find which sports would be the best for you.
Yeah.
With all those knees.
That would be great.
Yeah.
My body.
Yeah.
So first of all, what problems do you have?
Okay.
All right.
Let's talk about the problems then.
Yeah.
First of all, yeah, the knees, you know.
I can run.
Okay.
If it's a normal speed running, I can do it for a long time.
Okay.
Like 30 minutes, 40 minutes.
Continuously.
Okay.
If it's like a full-on running, I'll be like, you know, like, I don't know, like 10 minutes
in on and off.
Not bad.
Yeah, not bad.
Yeah.
And…
And it'll start hurting?
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Okay.
But I don't know.
Maybe sports like soccer, it does give you more…
Yeah.
You need to stop.
Right.
It gives you more damage to the knee.
So I don't know how that's going to work out.
But I did find that exercising beforehand, you know, getting it loose helps a lot.
I see.
So I can do that.
Okay.
Okay.
Other problems that I have, the bathroom problem.
Oh, yeah?
It's getting better and better.
Oh, good.
Good.
But I've never played sports before.
I don't know if like a sudden movement is going to like…
Yeah.
Oh, shit, guys, I have to go to the bathroom.
That's fine.
I don't know.
Is it inside?
Like, can you, like, I don't know, like, for like the stomach itself?
The cut?
The cut?
I can't do sports for three months is what my doctor said.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Well, 2026, I'll start doing sports.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Including abs?
Yes.
Training?
I can work on abs.
Yes.
Okay.
Okay.
That means you can do basically any sports.
Oh, yeah.
Technically, I can do any sports.
Okay.
Good.
Good.
Good.
Okay.
So I guess something doesn't need too much running.
Volleyball?
Yeah.
Can you jump?
Does it hurt your knee?
Yeah.
Well, no.
No?
If so, no.
Well, like, casual jumping?
Definitely.
Easy.
Okay.
I can do that.
Okay.
What about serious jumping?
Serious jumping?
Like, you're fighting each other and just, I don't know, like, serious jumping, just land.
You have to do the strike.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know what you call it in English, but like the strike?
I don't know.
I don't know if that's going to hurt.
Yeah, that sounds not very, very good for your knees.
I feel like jumping is more severe than running, don't you think, to your knees?
Yeah.
Okay.
Maybe that's not a good option, I guess.
Or what about tennis?
Tennis?
Yes.
Yeah, you need to run.
Tennis?
I mean, I think tennis is good.
I like tennis.
What about, like, smaller version of tennis?
Like paddles?
Yeah.
Or like the pickleball?
Yeah, pickleball.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's great.
Pickleballs, you don't run that much, you know.
That's a great idea.
Yeah.
You know, a lot of the people in their 30s and their 40s, they enjoy pickleball, so I
guess that's the right type of, like, amount of energy, right?
Amount of, like, athleticism that's necessary.
I like that idea.
And you're good at tennis, right?
I love tennis, yes.
You know how to tennis.
Yeah.
So that's a great idea.
Maybe we should do a pickleball.
Yeah.
Or like a table tennis, maybe?
Table tennis?
Yeah, I like table tennis.
But I wanted it to be more competitive and more, like, I want to get tired more.
I see, I see.
You know?
Yeah.
Then it should be like a pickleball or, like, squash or some...
Yeah.
Like a whole body...
Right.
Right.
Yeah, okay.
That's right.
Boxing.
You should box.
Oh, true.
You don't use your knees that much.
Yeah.
You know, you don't run, but you have to use your whole body, get tired so fast.
True, true, true.
I'll be great.
You know, you've never boxed, right?
No.
I mean, isn't that a good idea?
No, I've never boxed before.
I've been to, like, the sports gym, like the boxing gym.
Oh, really?
I have.
Where you just go against the sandbox.
Oh.
But that's it.
Okay.
I've never actually gone into a ring.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, that sounds exciting.
Wow, yeah.
Yeah.
It's kind of fun.
And it's very, very tiring.
You sweat a lot.
Right, right.
Oh, yeah.
Right.
It's fun.
Nice, nice, nice.
Yeah.

Buy gadgets on Amazon.
