Both, sort of. I work out at the gym (when my schedule permits), and work out at home otherwise. As for a sport, does jogging count? When I can't get to the gym, I jog around the neighborhood.

I think of sport being a contest, not just exercise

jogging is good for health, but I don't call it a sport

Jogging is a sport, your leg muscles are working hard while jogging, and your heart has to pump blood faster, like in any other sport.

Whatever it takes to get you to excercise. I prefer a combo of the both. I play soccer, run, bike, go on the elliptical, jump rope, lift weights. The best thing is to vary your excerise. you need strength training along with cardio to burn weight and build muscle. If you build muscle, you will burn more calories while "at rest", thus losing weight faster.

variation is a good way to avoid boredom

they are both really good for exercising..anything that makes you break a sweat is exercising. I guess its up to the person on which way they want to shed the pounds.. me i prefer dancing..because its fun, i like to do it and it is a form of exercise.

I workout at the gym 4-5 times a week and play hockey with my buddies 2-3 hours everytime. So I do my part in exercising.

I have never played hockey, but it looks like it would work off a lot of calories!
