What is your favorite form of physical exercise?

I have to say that I don’t do any form of exercise for fun.

If I absolutely had to pick when I used to go to the gym (haven’t been in many years) I used to enjoy the rowing machines. They had these fish games on the rowing machines and you could control the fish by rowing faster or slower. I found it lots of fun.

My only exercise now a days is walking a lot, my retail job requires me to be on my feet all day and since I also recently started doing shifts now again with a catering agency, they also require me to be on my feet too.

Sport wise, I haven’t played any sport in many years either but I did used to enjoy badminton and football, I was on a girls football team when I was a child.

Funny thing despite enjoying playing it, I never enjoyed watching it and found watching it rather boring, sorry to any football fans reading this.

I don’t remember the first time I did any other sport apart from football. I am pretty sure I was six years old, in my first year at school and my new friend wanted me to play football with him and two of his other friends. I had no clue how to play and he wanted me to be a defender, I didn’t even know what that meant so I just stood near another boy who was the goalie and I let the ball into the pretend goal without well…defending 🤣

I figured out what I was meant to do when my new friend was upset that I hadn’t stopped the ball and I started actually defending our makeshift goal.

And because I had no clue about the other roles for a little while I remember insisting on playing defender so they didn’t realise I didn’t actually know how football worked but I did of course figure it out eventually 😅
