Waitingfordoggo · 05/09/2024 12:51

Running - 2/10 I’ve just never been able to get in the zone. I can see that others people really lose themselves in it but I’ve never got to that point. I ran a 10k once and hated it.

Weights - 10/10- My happy place

Pilates - 5/10- Really good for you but usually quite boring, depending on the instructor

Cycling - 7/10- Quite enjoy a cycle ride on a nice day

Swimming - Am crap at it and don’t enjoy it

Team sports / ball sports - Hate them. Haven’t done any since school. Actually I liked rounders but am crap as part of a team. I liked the bit where it was my turn to bat and run but fielding was booooring.

Yoga- 10/10

Yoga and weights are my favourites and I don’t do anything else, but I do like Boxercise if forced to choose cardio.

christiev · 05/09/2024 12:42

Running - 6/10 I don't enjoy running but I think it's beneficial, so I do it occasionally.

Weights - 6/10

Pilates - 8/10

Cycling - I only do indoor/spin 10/10

Swimming - I rarely swim

Team sports / ball sports - I don't participate in team sports

florenceandthemac · 05/09/2024 12:31

Running 7/10. Used to love it, now I do it out of necessity so I don't 'lose it'

Weights 9/10. Would love to say 10/10 as I enjoy it, but probably hate it at the time when I'm really lifting heavy

Pilates 8/10. Depends on the instructor/class. Sometimes I love it

Cycling 7/10. Enjoy it as a family bike ride

Swimming 0/10. Hate it

Team sports / ball sports - I don't do them so can't score them. Would LOVE to play netball again but can't (medical reason). Enjoy playing tennis, casually, but I'm not competitive. Maybe 7/10 then

Nagatha · 05/09/2024 06:25

It’s a complicated answer. For me it goes more like this, regardless of the exercise type.

Before -0/10
During - 2-7/10
After - 8-10/10

i mostly do circuits and weights, plus walking.
