Jogging/Running outside and even indoors using a treadmill. Instead, i like walking outside and hiking, and within the gym, I like the crosstrainer and rower.
Not everyone has the ability to do that. It’s unhealthy to exercise near roadways, and a lot of people don’t have the means or ability to go to a nature space.
I'm no runner, I was always terrible at it since childhood. Anything above 100 meters was too long and I couldn't breath through it properly, which was quite a thing at school. I'm ordinary sized person, no (serious) health problem, just lack stamina for running.
But lately I found running to be quite "fun". Or better world would be "relaxing". I still suck terribly at it, but as I'm older, long gone from high school, I don't care. I live right at the edge of town so literally hundred steps to the nature, so once I feel like I need to empty my head, I go running. While I slowly choo choo around I can turn the brain completely off and just relax. And feel like dying later because I still lack the stamina past first kilometre lol.
