There are some good ones here, and the top 5 are in the right places, but i am not sure about the rest, what do you think?

American Football – of course, been around since the 1800’s.
Baseball – A sport that nobody knows how to play, unless you already know how to play it.
Basketball – Most famous in America but played all over the world by almost half a billion people.
Hockey – It is difficult to get bored watching this, and the Americans love it for that.
Golf – Really let go for everyone, many thanks to Tiger Woods for making Golf even more famous.
Wrestling – Americans gather in their millions to watch this, but is it a real sport.
Tennis – Americans have always played very good tennis, coming to Wimbledon and winning many trophies.
Skateboarding – America really started this up as a sport, now it is worldwide.
Surfing – Was really brought to the world by America.
Ice Skating – This is taken very seriously over the world, and in America.
Boxing – What a money grabber, unfortunately it doesn’t happen enough around the year.
Soccer – Needs more work, but this sport is beginning to grow, the Americans just need a little shove.
Archery – this may not be a big team game, but the Americans do very well at the World Olympics.
Volleyball – Now I am not entirely sure who invented Women’s Volleyball but i would like to shake their hand.
Cycling – A very tough sport, especially in competition with nations, but America sticks to its usual greatness.
Track and Field – The Americans are best known at the Olympics for this event.
Horse Racing – Will be a great sport for all, and could actually come higher in this list.
Rock Climbing – This hasn’t lifted as much as other Sports, but is still popular.
Extreme Sports – These are the sports you have a high chance of being killed in.
Auto Racing – This covers all regions, the reason it doesn’t come that high is because many think it is not a sport.

Which of these is your favourite? What do you think of the top 5? What a great way to find out – try Las Vegas holidays or New York holidays to really find out

The number of people heading outside in their leisure time has unfortunately been reducing for the last 20 years. A lot of children and adults alike would prefer to spend their hours inside watching television, increasing their risk of obesity and heart disease. One of the most effective ways of getting to enjoy the outdoors again and understanding how good it can make you feel, is sport. Below are three examples of sports that use nature to its most and will certainly get your heart pumping?

Cycling. They say you never forget how to ride a bike…so what is stopping you getting on one now. You can pick up great second hand bikes now for next to nothing and you can look up good cycle routes on the internet very easily. On top of this, with biking you can take it as easy or as vigorously as you like so you don’t have to worry if you’re unfit at the moment or are carrying an injury

Kayaking. If solid ground is a little too mundane for you then one brilliant water-based sport you might like to try is kayaking. Like mountain bikes there are plenty of fine used kayaks on the market and all you need other than that is an oar and a life jacket. It is advisable to go out with a professional first so that you can learn the ropes but once you’ve got it there will be no stopping you.

Surfing. If you’ve managed to stay dry in the kayak and fancy getting your hair wet then why not find some friends, grab a bunch of surfboards and head down to the beach. Don’t try to stand up straight away, learn by catching the waves lying down first and then slowly work your way to vertical as you get better. Remember to take your car keys out of your pocket first however, as it could be a long walk home otherwise
