Ew. I like martial arts/combat sports, but that's pretty much it.

I love outdoors sports like hiking, canoeing, cycling, and cross country skiiing. I've tried trail running and weight lifting but lack the motivation to keep up with them. I like to work out at home, but I can't stand to do it when my younger weight lifting brother is home because he is an extravert and likes to work out with me. I can't stand that. I need my privacy. I rarely do work out thought to be honest. I have been overwhelming my mind with questions though! So, in that way, I am working out something.

Aww, crap, I forgot I totally dig canoeing and kayaking and paddleboat-ing. (Does this mean I like watersports?!

)

This topic again? It's okay, because I like it. What I don't like are sports (assuming you mean doing, not watching) and exercise. I exercise regularly (at the gym) because it's important for physical and mental health and I hope against hope that it will make me look better. I've never particularly enjoyed it. It turns out I have impressive strength capacity, especially in my legs and core, but that does me no practical good. When walking reaches the point of obvious exertion, where I could call it exercise, my enjoyment rapidly disappears. Yoga - not consistently challenging and not interesting. Sports I haven't played for several years. Volleyball was fun at times and maybe never bad. Just about anything else produced extreme frustration some of the time, from not performing well or being treated as unwanted (or otherwise poorly) by other players. Ah, that wasn't an issue with swimming - I probably am naturally good at it, but without competition, it's so boring. I have done it a few times in the last few years, but only in recreational form.

I HATE organized sports like soccer (to hell with you americans, its called football and thats it), basketball and whatever.Hate hate hate them.

'Outdoor' sports (isn't football an outdoor sport, after all?) are okay. Not a fan, but they're fine.

Kung fu, though... Kung fu rocks.

I love sports, I played maybe 10-15 if not more. In fact I am just about to go jogging. But I do hate the idea of regular and I really really prefer if it's nature related, rather than indoor. For the rest of the questions I have to think a little harder and I am kind of late with no time.
