Mostly just asking this for a college assignment since I’m a student there, and this is the one I picked out of the twenty I came up with.

Feel free to also answer why you do such exercises, describe the last time you have engaged in physical exercise, and provide any additional thoughts.

Hiking, for me. There’s a variety of trail difficulties, so you can do something more casual if you want to, and aside from the great cardio, you’re out in the beautiful outdoors.

Running. I do it 4 times a week, and my last time was yesterday. I took it up late in life, and found that I love it. Imagine my surprise, given that I’d spent my life telling myself I don’t like doing physical activity

How long do you run? I tend to get bored while doing any monotonous activity. That’s why I don’t like walking. I run a mile or real regularly. But want to run for longer without getting bored.

I don’t find it monotonous for some reason. At the moment, my longest runs are about an hour, but in the before times, I used to run longer than that

Walking the dog is all I’m capable of at the moment. Trying to walk an hour at a time, twice a day. Some days it works.

If you can do 2 hours of walking a day you’re doing far better than most people.

Even an hour of walking would be better than most, if that’s all you’re capable of then you’re capable of plenty! Keep it up!

I go to the gym three times a week. I started working out to lose weight and improve muscle mass and tone, and because I fell out of love with running. Last time was yesterday - bench press, overhead press and chin-ups. There’s something primal about lifting heavy weights that makes it enjoyable (much like the other poster said about boxing).
