Beautiful December
Now, when the garden awaits the return of spring
Now, when the silence is deep and blue
Now, when the winter has cast her spell again
Beautiful December, Beautiful December
Here, where the snow is as soft as a woolly lamb
Here, where the nightfall is deep and blue,
Here, where the stars are so bright, you reach for them
Beautiful December, Beautiful December
Child, may you sleep in gentle peace tonight
Dream of songs that rise on silken wings!
When you wake, enchanted by the snowspun light
Sing the songs that came to you in dreams,
Your beautiful December dreams

Would you consider exercise a hobby or a sport?
I exercise a lot because I am trying to keep my weight down at the moment, but I actually enjoy it. So I am not sure whether I would class swimming, for example, as a hobby or a sport.
What would you do?
How much difference do you think there is between the two? Do you enjoy exercising, or do you just do it because you want to keep a healthy lifestyle going?

> I'm exercising to keep myself healthy..for my opinion i'm consider exercise is a sport..
Exercising is great to keep you healthy. So, you do think exercise is a sport. That's interesting. I have decided that I would indeed class my swimming as a sport because I enjoy it and I feel that it is more than just a hobby. I went this morning and got a lot done, which was fantastic!
> How much difference do you think there is between the two?
A sport is competitve, exercising isn't. It says it all. Doing a sport actually ruins one's health.

Your swimming is a sport if you do it to win a competition, or, at least, to show better times.
If you put it that way, sports can be competitive and at the same time your hobby :)
> Practical_Severard My personal definition: a hobby is an activity I do in my free time, I enjoy it, I do it regularly and I don't earn money with a hobby. From this perspective, I call my track and field experience, with weekly competitions in summer, a hobby.

Well, I agree that an activity with amateur competitions may be a hobby. They motivate and are funny. Still, such competitions are so important to some people, that their hobbies as you have defined them: people don't earn their living with them, actually become sports. E.g. the local press reported that a 25 y.o. amateur fitness bikini practitioner had died after an amateur competition. She took some fat-burning chemicals that caused a heart attack.
Whether fitness bikini is a sport makes up another question: there isn't an objective result like in aforesaid swimming.
It really is a fine line and an interesting topic to discuss.
Let me expalin what I meant. When I read a word "exercise", I take that as activity requiring physical effort to improve health and fitness not for competition.
When I mention word "competition" here, we should use word "training" to express "exercising". hope you understand. I mean no offend.
I try to do my exercice on the exercice bike at least twice a week, but it's not fun at all.
Like at this very moment; it's my schedule to do it, but I'm trying to find any excuses to escape from it.
However, walking is not as intensive as exercice bike.
I don't have a car and I have no other choice. But I guess, if I would have a car, I would ride my bike anymore :)
