Mostly just asking this for a college assignment since I'm a student there, and this is the one I picked out of the twenty I came up with.

Feel free to also answer why you do such exercises, describe the last time you have engaged in physical exercise, and provide any additional thoughts.

I'm with you. Spent my life playing sports growing up, mainly swimming. Went into the Marines after. Constantly was in very good shape. I hate working out. I'm mid-30s now and I'll walk for an hour at 4+mph, I'll ride my bike, and those are fine because I'm out and about, but I'm just so over gyms and running. I think it's for the best too, running is not great on your knees, and it also just sucks. I used to run a ton, but the only reason I did was because I didn't want to get put in a situation in the Marines where I couldn't do something. So I just ran. Never got the runners high or anything.
