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

This. It's an exercise where I can also explore my local area and enjoy nature.

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.

+1 for callisthenics, and also approaching 50. Lots of fun and i can feel/ see the progress. Aiming for a planche by the end of this year.

Thank you for the rec on callisthenics! I will look into this.

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
sem@piefed.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 39d
Same for me, but with top rope. Bouldering is over too quick for me to get in a state of flow
iByteABit@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 38d
I used to do top rope too, I like the longer height which tests your endurance, but I get a bigger rush of adrenaline and enjoyment when I finally beat a challenging bouldering problem with the fear of falling
I will still return to top rope, I feel like the one unlocks skills for the other because of the difference in the kind of difficulty

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.

This is the way

I always loved dodgeball. Too bad you only play it in school and if I would play it now, I would probably hurt myself massively.
Favourite exercise is probably hiking. Full workout and you get a great view of nature, what's not to love about that? Except if it rains of course....or is too warm.... or too many people... OK there are some possible downsides.

I kind of like hiking in the rain, but not in storms. It can be very peaceful and reflective

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!

I am hoping someday to learn to sail

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

My favorite sport is American Football followed closely by Lacrosse.
My favorite exercise is using the Stair master.

My 'favourite sport,' by means of being the only thing called a 'sport' I don't find utterly boring, is sepak takraw. It has elements of hacky-sack which I like, and while I wouldn't do them myself, pros regularly do backflips as part of the game, so it's actually not painfully dull to watch either.
My favourite 'exercise' is just walking. When it's not overly hot out, it's quite pleasant but quite good for you in comparison to the amount of effort it takes.

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

Is this an irish sport exclusively or played other places?

>90% is played in Ireland, but there's also some presence overseas, especially among the diaspora

My favorite sports are rugby and field hockey but i would like to play handball but my height is too short(1.66 cm) so it is difficult to play that sport for me.

Snowboarding. I just wish it wasn't as expensive. And that climate change wasn't threatening it.
Weirdfish@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 39d
I'm always split between skateboarding and snowboarding. Have 41 years on the skateboard and 35 on the snowboard.
Being old and broken, I certainly can't ride like I used to, but I'm having as much fun as ever and still push myself to learn new things.
I hope a much needed knee surgery later this year improves things.
Still, nothing I enjoy more than a day at the park teaching anyone who will listen.

Walking and bench press :3

Rowing. Sport you can do sitting down.

Gravel biking. All the joy of cycling without some fatass in a brodozer trying to kill you because he got another erection looking at another man in lycra.
