Padel
Have you ever paddled? This is the sport you see everywhere! Blown over from Mexico and now hugely popular in the Netherlands. Padel is a mix of tennis, squash and badminton and is played on a court with glass walls. You usually play it with four people, but there are also options to play one-on-one. Padel courts are proliferating, so chances are there is one near you. Will you give it a try?

Ice, ice baby! Take an ice bath
Maybe not a sport, but it feels like an extreme challenge. After an intense workout, an ice bath or cold shower is the way to repair your muscles and prevent injury. It helps reduce inflammation and allow your body to recover faster. Do you dare? Don't forget to do breathing exercises beforehand and also pay attention to your breathing during the ice bath or cold shower.
