Most folks strongly prefer one kind of exercise over others. Not skiing over rugby or pickleball over yoga, but more generally: cardio or weights or flexibility. We all have different gifts, after all, so it is not surprising that the kinds of exercise we like best vary among us.
Unfortunately, this means that we have to do the exercise equivalent of eating our carrots (you may like carrots; I do not, but I eat them because they are good for me.). Those of us who are more than happy to spend a chunk of time with the treadmill will need to trundle over to the weight racks. Our new friends at the weight racks will have to learn to share the weights and then try out the elliptical trainer. All of us need to go chill out at yoga or Pilates.
We may never come to adore the kinds of exercise we don’t naturally gravitate toward. Carrots may always be carrots. But we may come to appreciate how we feel when we have a few carrots thrown in with our chicken and mashed potatoes.
Go play.
