To add to this: find a sport you enjoy and keep doing it. Don't be afraid to test and iterate.

And remember, if it took you 20 years of practice to become a hardened couch potato, don't expect to change overnight.

I get utterly bored with new sports within 3-6 months. This has happened with every sport I have tried, no matter how much I loved it at the beginning.

Some people enjoy repetition. Some... really don't.

For me the challenge is to keep finding new interesting sports.

Hey whatever works :)

I've been boxing almost every day for almost 6 years now. The more into it I get, the more there is to discover and the tougher my sparring partners get. It really doesn't feel like repetition at all.

So maybe you just haven't found a sport you liked yet. Or haven't given them enough time to reach a level of mastery where it doesn't feel so repetitive anymore.
