Some people don't enjoy any exercise, ever think about that, musclebrain?

[–] Kecessa -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There's a whole lot of stuff that people consider to be activities that are a perfect replacement for what the same people consider to be exercise, they'll love the former and hate the latter without realizing that if they just did the former often enough they wouldn't feel the need to do the latter at all.

I used to run a ton, got a smallish dog and now I go on walks and hikes instead, most people only consider that running is exercising of those three things but all of them are a form of exercising.

I've always hated team sports but I love climbing, kayaking, canoeing, snowshoeing... should I force myself to do team sports because that's what people think about when they think about sports or should I be doing the stuff I actually find enjoyable?

The goal is just for people to move.

I’m the guy that originally responded saying that I dislike running even though I’ve been doing it religiously for a long time.

All your suggestions are wonderful here. I will get right on kayaking, hiking, and the like as soon as my wife miraculously is cured and I have free time to do all this stuff that someone with a good life can do. Otherwise, I will continue to do what I can (running at 5:30am before my wife wakes up) because my wife needs me all the time when she is awake because she is in hellish pain.

Please stop being a jackass to people. There is another person in this thread that did this the right way. Gently suggesting an alternative and not assuming they knew best. It would behoove you to understand that your particular situation isn’t universal and other people have different wants, needs, and responsibilities than you.
