Interesting one this. Speaking to mates and thinking about myself, although there’s some people who overlap, blokes and women I know seem to divide into those who are only really motivated to do exercise if it’s as part of a team sport situation, and those who are happy or choose individual activities.
Got one pal in particular who would play 11 aside football for years into his late 40s, and cricket, and is now talking about joining a bowls club, but had zero interest in ever going out for a run himself. He’d do it as part of footy pre-season but zero interest in doing it himself. Or cycling, or swimming.
For some people I think either the competitiveness, or encouragement of others aspect, or the sociable side of it plays a massive role.
Without one or more of those 3 aspects, some understandably struggle to stay motivated I think.
