I don’t really enjoy sports at all I quite like walking and I do strength training and yoga, would like to try Pilates and I don’t mind swimming but hate doing it in public pools. I loathe team sports and am not competitive at all, nor do I ever watch sport on tv.

I do however like being fit, flexible and strong though so I do maintain an active lifestyle and exercise plan.

invisiblecat · 05/09/2024 15:15

I don't do any of them so no score from me, but if it's any help: apart from pilates and swimming, hell would have to freeze over before I did any of the others.

Weights 8/10

Pilates don't do

Cycling don't do

Swimming yuk yuk yuk yuk

Team sports / ball sports - I don’t do these so can’t give a score

Walking 15/10

BogRollBOGOF · 05/09/2024 18:38

Running 9/10 I love it. I love the races, scenery, flexibility, do it solo, do it in a community, support events. It just loses one point for DOMS/ tight calves

Weights 7/10 I like feeling strong. It feels rebelious after a childhood where it wasn't ladylike to be muscular. It's a means to an end rather than being exciting itself.

Pilates 7/10 I'd give yoga 8/10. I prefer the flow of yoga. I like what they do for the body.

Cycling 6 / 10 I like doing it but it's more faffy to set up and far fewer safe, pleaurable routes than running. Hard to do from home due to hazardous roads and hills.

Swimming 9/10 I love swimming. One point lost for faff and cost per session. Open water swimming is the only other sport that gives me a proper endorphin high like running.

Team sports / ball sports 0/10 Goes into flashbacks of traipsing around after wayward balls in PE and the ritual being last for selection.

Weights 0 - might change as will be giving these a go in November.

Pilates 10 - best thing ever for back, strength, mobility and balance. Been doing it for over 15 years, never gets boring, always challenging.

Swimming 9
