Recently noticed Hindu/Diver pushups. I don’t do them very often, but I like them a lot. Not sure if it is the range of motion or it being easier than regular pushups(pushing back straight from the bottom) for me

    My favourite sport is sailing, raced for many years. I’ve never been a fan of team sports but racing is different. Might be the possibility of death lol. I love swimming, raced competitively as a kid, but can’t handle the chemicals at the pools and the cold of the ocean so don’t do that very often. Climbing and bouldering are the next favourite, my husband and I climbed a lot before my daughter was born. She, with my husband, is getting into it now so I went with them and wrenched my shoulder quite badly so haven’t been able to get back.

    I know I need to incorporate movement and strength training into my life more (would definitely help with not getting injured!). A comment below mentioned callisthenics so I’m going to look into that. Also yoga!

    Bouldering, I like the mix between body strength, flexibility, technique and problem solving that it has, it’s good exercise but it feels like a game

    Not sure it counts as exercise or sport. Most days i say i spend time ‘swimming’ but really I’m just making up funny ways to move across/around the pool. Then I make my husband compete with me in those events in the Today Family Olympics.

    Been doing pilates for a couple years. Which moved to general calisthenics and mobility for exercise. Smitten. Haven’t felt this good since my 20s and I’m nearly 50.

    Taken 2 years.

    I suck at cycling, running and swimming. The worst is swimming,and the one I like most is probably cycling…

    My favorite solo exercise is rucking since all I have to is put on my vest or a pack with sand bags in it and start walking. BJJ is my favorite sport to participate in the only challenge is making it to a specific place and specific time
