Discussion:
Degrees of self-hate may vary as much at +/-1 scale point depending on the following environmental circumstances:
1) Whether the activity is conducted outside, if applicable (actual bike/stationary bike; run/treadmill)
2) Quality of equipment (bike, swim, skating, XC skiing, elliptical).
3) Skill at activity.
4) Number and type of compatriots (alone/gym bunnies/grumpy retirees/fellow runners)
While running is obviously not a cross-training method, it was included as a control by which to compare different cross-training methods against. Also, "control" is a good sciency word, so it adds legitness to this graph, along with the lengthy title (everyone knows that the longer the title of something, the more scientific weight it carries).
Side note: the author has attempted all of these. That means I know what I'm talking about. Limpy power walking was an all-time low that I don't care to discuss, as was adult rec skate.
