I wouldn't say that I do sports. (I wouldn’t say I’m much of an athlete.)
Sometimes I jog, bike, or go to a gym but that's it. However, I've been doing (participating in) sports actively for the last 3 months. I bought a “sport card” which allowed me to attend as many sports classes as fit into my schedule. And the more I participated, the cheaper each class became. And it works! But that's not the reason to do(play) sports, it's just the story of how I got used to doing(playing) sports 2-3 times a week.
All the activities included with my “sport card” are different and almost all of them are quite tiring. But how good is the feeling, you know the one, when you just finished your exercises…when you are tired and proud of yourself at the same time…the moment you proved to yourself that you could do it! It's amazing, right?
(A simpler way to express your idea in this paragraph is “All the activities included with my card were different and rather tiring. But it feels so good when you’re finished exercising. You’re tired and proud of yourself all at the same time when you reach the moment that proves you could do it!)
Today I attended the last class for this spring. It's definitely going to be a challenge to continue! I’ll have to keep doing(playing) sports without any cards :) Let's see how it goes. I'll try my best!
As Germans say: Sport treiben - gesund bleiben!
In America we generally talk about "playing sports" (like football, baseball, tennis) or "doing excercizes" (like weight-lifting or pilates) there are of course exceptions like dance or gymnastics when you say "I'm dancing" or "I'm doing gymnastics."
It's not a perfect correction, but maybe it helps.
