Anyone managed to "only" do workouts they LOVE? I want to hear about it

I despise working out.

I've done all the hacks such as: only watch shows while I'm on the row machine, get a dog etc.

One of the ways I actually have managed to stay thin is kind of stick to work outs that aren't really work outs at all. I've just done the things I love over my life but as I'm getting older I think It's not quite enough anymore. I think I'm going to start to need more focused specific exercise and I just don't like it.

I love kayaking, hiking, skiing, ice skating, ballet. I also have the privilege of traveling a lot and we walk miles and miles and miles when we visit larger cities.

But these things aren't quite enough. The ice skating rink is only open skate once a week. Skiing used to be a day trip and now it requires a 3-day weekend. And obviously that's only in winter. Kayaking is obviously only in the summer and I'm not that great of a swimmer so I can't go alone. My ballet classes are generally only once a week and sometimes they don't run in the summer because it's more of a casual adult beginner thing. Doesn't even go past beginner for adults, really. Hiking requires more time than I have during the weekdays.

Especially as I get older, cobbling together physical activities isn't working to keep weight off.

So, let me hear your success stories in this vein, or tell me I have to suck it up and "exercise" more traditionally.
