That's kind of...it. I enjoy riding a bike, but I don't have the money to buy one right now, so I just walk. I am incredibly fortunate to live next to the beach so I'm able to go for long walks barefoot on the sand several times a week.
I feel like I should be swimming or running or doing other things, but the pool is right in the center of my apartment complex and I feel like I'm on display down there, and running does not appeal to me at all, but I like walking. It's soothing, and it helps with my anxiety, and it's a way to get my body moving.
I used to rock climb, but I gave it up due to a lack of time and money. I've never been athletic, and there are always a million reasons for me not to exercise, none of them especially good reasons but most of them sufficient to keep me on the couch, so I rarely do, but I like the idea of it.
People like to talk about the inconvenience of the human body, and yeah when they break they can be really awful, but a well-working body is an amazing thing. I appreciate athleticism and the science of nutrition and exercise (though I do think a healthy dose of skepticism is always a good thing when it comes to those things--they are astonishingly complex topics and we are barely scratching the surface of their complexity).
Things I'm especially interested in: rock climbing, dance, American Ninja Warrior-type feats, walking, biking, kayaking/canoeing (in calm waters), and hiking.
