Building up a sweat

What are your favorite physical activities or exercises?

I’m not a very physically active person, but this should come as no surprise to any of you given that I want to be a writer/author and also love playing video games. That being said, I do sort of still have some favorite physical activities.

I used to be a lot more active and on my feet when I unloaded trucks, but that was nearly eight years ago now. Was it a favorite physical activity? Not particularly, except that I got paid to do it. If I had to do something like it again it would be going to the gym to lift weights, which is something I need to get back to doing regularly.

Other activities or exercises that I enjoyed (when I was in much better shape) were typically competitive things like sports. If there was running involved, that was a plus, so soccer and football are easy to include. Obstacle courses and climbing, too.

But I don’t really do any of that anymore, even though I probably should. It’s just hard to fit into my schedule, not just from a time perspective (that part would be the easiest) but also mentally. Maybe I should work on that for next year.
