Who here exercises?
I climb 2-3 times a week and end my climbing sessions with lifting heavy. Playing badminton occasionally, not very seriously though. Also a few jogs occasionally when I get the time. The only thing I feel I'm missing is doing more stretching and mobility training, and working more to get my hiking stamina up.
Climbing is really the base of it all, and probably the motivation for doing the rest to stay active. I really like climbing to the point where it just feels natural to go to the climbing gym a few times a week. I climb alone, but talk to the staff a lot so even if I'm not particularly in the mood to climb it's nice to come in, climb a bit and talk shit with the people working there. Motivation or falling off never became an issue once I started climbing regularly.
Before I started climbing I had lotta problems with motivation when I tried running or lifting regularly. Turns out just running or going to a regular gym where you talk to no one isn't stimulating enough for me.

I started lifting three times a week last year and saw a huge improvement on my mental health.
I try to do 10/15 minutes of cardio in each lifting session, but if I have and early meeting or something urgent I might skip it (I go to the gym early in the morning, before work).
It helps tremendely since a lot of my hobbies are done sitting down.
I'm not that fit yet, but if that counts I'd assume I do stay active.

I just bought some equipment for a small sports studio at home. Now I only must begin to use it.
But I caught COVID-19 just a few days after my purchase and I'm still out of breath rather quickly.
I already tested some software with the Ergometer though and I'm sure that I'll enjoy at least that.

Typically I don't particularly enjoy or like exercising/working out. However, I can do anything if I have some music playing lol. Sometimes I'll walk on the treadmill with a high incline or do workout circuits (where I move from one machine to another after completing a certain amount of sets/songs) with my playlist running. I go to a gym with a twice-a-week Zumba class and swim in the pool often which I enjoy a lot more. If I don't feel like going outside or to the gym, I like to play Just Dance on my Switch at home (I dance with my whooole body lol) and I love to get those achievements, it really motivates me.

I don't mean going to the gym, going for walks or any sort of sports
Confused by this - isn't that all deliberate exercise?
Anyway, I do strength training 4 days per week, and go Spinning 4 times per week. I'm also a week into the 75 Hard challenge.

I've just started exercising every day for the first time ever. I got the old exercise bike out of the closet and set it up in front of the TV, and I've been riding every night while playing PS5 games. I would like to ramp up the mileage a bit, but that bike seat is just so damn uncomfortable (and that's with a padded seat cover and padded cycling shorts).

Hey, so I'm kinda curious as to whom or how many people here exercise?
I don't mean going to the gym, going for walks or any sort of sports but in general does some effort to stay fit/healthy?
I don't mean any sort of shaming with this, but mostly curious due to being a healthy habit.
