    I'd say jogging cause I'm not really a swimmer

    Swimming definitely. Tried jogging, hated it. Swimming is the best all round exercise you can get.

    I don't have a pool outside my door but I do have a street, so running. My shoulders bother me while swimming last time I tried it. If they didn't my sister (60) would force me to train for a full Ironman. She is training for her third one.

    I really enjoy swimming and I think if I could find a swimming group or something that could push me then it would be a great work out, but I have a hard time pushing myself in the pool. I can do laps all day and feel like I'm having a leisurely swim. I love running though and can and do push myself. I'm more comfortable running, don't necessarily have to wash my hair afterwards (have to if I swim) and it's quicker to get ready and finish without dealing with all the things related to swimming (swimsuit/cap/goggles/raccoon eyes/having to stop by the hot tub afterwards, lol).

    Swimming because the only thing I 'll run to is a peanut butter banana shake at the finish line.

    I wish I knew how to swim. I hate running but at least I can do that.

    Swimming, hands down. I hate running for anything. I'll rarely even run for a bus! I'd likely be the first to be eaten in the zombie apocalypse.

    Jogging. I get so bored doing laps of a pool. At least running I can listen to music ir an audio book and see some countryside
