How to use "Sporadically" in context?
If you have something you do sporadically, such as going to the gym intermittently, then you are referring to it as a an occasional occurrence. This doesn't mean it's something you do rarely, but rather it's something that you do at irregular intervals. It's something you'll probably only do a few times a year, if that. You might call yourself a sporadic exerciser.
