IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 15/09/2024 19:43

Running -7/10, I don't love it, but I knock out 5k 3x week to keep the waistline at bay.

Weights - 10/10 - love it, have been getting out of bed at 5.30 am to go to a class for 15 months! I signed up for a months, I've totally stuck at it.

Pilates - 7/10 - again, I've been doing weekly classes for 2 years. I'm not that good, and I've not that flexible, but I don't hate it.

Cycling - 10/10 in all formats, and the only sport I really enjoy watching either live or on tv. I think there were 14 bikes in our garage at the last count.

Swimming - pool: 6/10 ok for 40 lengths or so, then it gets a bit dull. Wild 10/10- love it. Go several times a week, year round.

Team sports: 5/10 Havn't really done any since I left school, although did an 8 week return to netball thing, which was much more fun than I thought it would be.

Ball sports- 0/10 - I hate anything that involves hitting a ball. I'm terrible at it. I've never even scored a rounder.

Ill add: stopping 11/10

This is more accurate actually.

TeenLifeMum · 15/09/2024 19:27

Running 7/10 - not sure if say I like it but I can do it (solid 5k - too far isn’t good for joints)

Weights 6/10 - okay but less satisfying than running

Pilates 7/10 - just struggle to find time for a class

Cycling 0 / 10 - don’t own a bike as I hate it.

Swimming 9/10 - really enjoy it but not the faff of shaving and chlorine etc so don’t go often.

Team sports / ball sports - tennis with dh 9/10

I’ll add kayaking - 10

minipie · 15/09/2024 19:14

Running 5/10 - on a good day I enjoy it but I’m crap at it so it’s very hard work

Weights 8/10 - love seeing the progress and muscle growth

Pilates 8/10 - really enjoy with a good teacher, I like the body awareness

Cycling 4/10 - love a gentle flat cycle but hate anything uphill or competitive or on busy roads

Swimming 1/10 - I love being in the water but lane swimming is intensely boring

Team/ball sports 0/10 - school ball sports were responsible for putting me off all sport and exercise for decades

I’ll add walking/hiking 9/10 and Skiing 11/10 !

Running - depends where. Around a flat, boring park, 2/10, on a more interesting route, 4/10.

Weights 0/10 - I know it's important, and I try to force myself ... sometimes

Cycling and pilates - never done either

Swimming 8/10 in a grotty indoor pool. 9/10 in a nice indoor pool. 7/10 in a tricky rough sea. 10/10 in a kind calm sea. 11/10 in an nice unheated outdoor pool.

AbraAbraCadabra · 15/09/2024 18:34

Running 9/10 but can no longer run due to stupid ankles.

Walking 5/10 but see above.

Swimming in sea or rivers - 10/10 but can only do it in appropriate weather and if/when they aren't full of literal shit.

Paddle-boarding 9/10 - but see answer above plus sea has to be almost completely flat as I am a beginner.

All other exercises and sports - ZERO

0 to all of those but I do love going for walks.

This is me . I hate any gym and most forms of exercise with a passion but I do love walking , probably because it's shared with my dogs .

WoahThreeAces · 11/09/2024 07:03

Zero for all. I hate all exercise. It hurts my lungs to run, hurts my muscles doing weights. I hate cycling, it's exhausting. I can't swim!

I walk a lot (at least 15k steps daily) and I go to gym classes 3 times a week (and hate every second)

I've been a regular at the gym for over a year now, I'm still waiting to be bitten by the "bug" - people keep telling me this happens and I'll actually miss it when I'm not there. Not for me, I love my non gym days. Exercise is just another chore on my list, tbh.
