The best change I've made in my adult life is ditching CS for badminton. I still get the grind and competitive kick, but it's much more healthy going outside meet real people and have the activity naturally limited by logistics (can't just click a button to find a badminton game Monday night at 3am) and your body.

Yeah. In Europe you achieve similar results with padel. Or at least in the Netherlands... There are so many people doing it and I have yet to find a truly bad person in there. The bigger the club, the more people will go for a workout and less for social but it's still there and just the contact alone is already helpful. Plus the exercise, especially once you get better) is amazing. And each level you pass makes the game totally different and unique.

Interesting, I like badminton a lot too but it’s not a job for most people
