swimmming, running, circuit training, hiking - if you can call hiking sport, more like an activity. Just like the variety really, I'd get bored if I only did one thing all the time.

As the onion says. Personally I ride bikes* for fun. I used to play hockey for sport.
* some mtbs, some road, some for commuting, some for shopping and another for the pub. Bikes are ace, but dont have to have fitness Nazism at their root. Leave that to pilates.

Football, golf, climbing/mountaineering, skiing, and bare bum boxing (just to keep the innuendo theme going!

Running for fitness Nazism. Mountain bike for shits and giggles. Roadie for winter

Judo since I was a nipper. Great for learning how to fall off without hurting yourself when you land.

Football. It hurts commuting the next day! But the riding makes me fitter for the football.

Used to do a fair bit of climbing, hardly any these days though. Still do some running. This was the best though:
(coming off the old slalom course on Windermere).
Then the killjoys banned it on Windermere, haven't done waterskiing for ages now either.

I agree with the above, I cycle for fun, fitness is just a side effect.
I swim a bit as well but only when I can't go out cycling for some reason. Only do a mile or so at a time now too.Posted 1 year ago # -
