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

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