    Squats. They burn so many calories. In my opinion legs are the king in the weightlifting world.

    Swimming. It is a fat burning cardio workout that also works most of the large muscle groups in the body and strengthens as it burns fat. Besides, anything that allows me to play in water is fun!

    Do they actually though?

    How do you know they burn 'so many calories'?

    Cycling ! You can burn more calories per hour than anything else and it's a low impact exercise !

    Cycling. Outdoors, on my road bike, on the county roads. Why? Because it's a good cardio workout, and it's fun. Also, I think I have a tiny little chance of ending my career in milliseconds, on the front bumper of someone's car. Could hurt, but still seems like a better alternative to handing in my lunch pail at age 90 or so, crapping on myself in a nursing home bed and trying to remember my name.

    Inline Skating because I love the high speeds, and any kind of HIIT exercises because I like the feeling of shooting my heart rate up and slowing it right back down.

    Stair climbing. It's a nice mix of strength and cardio.

    Ultimate frisbee, because I run for 2-3 hours and don't even realize it. Just fun.

    Been doing body weight strength training for over three months--I've stuck with it, so must be my favorite. :)

    I never thought of it that way. I live in a rural area full of two-lane country roads and am terrified of splatting a cyclist as I drive over a hill or around a sharp turn. And there are a lot of cyclists here! But I'm still too afraid of being splatted, so I'll stick to my stationery bike.

    My favorite is walking, either outside or on a treadmill. Actually, I like the treadmill a lot. I can watch TV, play around with the speed and incline, check my heart rate occasionally, and pause it in case I have to pee. My first bathing suit that I've bought since gaining all my weight over ten years arrived last Saturday, so I am going to try swimming very soon. I've never actually just swam! I know how to, but never did laps and instead just played in the pool and swam during games of tag. Hopefully just swimming laps won't be too boring. And I like dancing, either Zumba or to television commercials. I'll walk in place and when music comes on, either on the show I'm watching or a commercial, break out dancing. And there's always my trusty old exerbike that prefers to be a clothes hanger . . .

    Spinning and thrusters. Spinning for the cardio "rush", music, and the fun with the class. Thrusters because they are hard but they feel like they work everything.

    Deadlifts and Squats! I may be a short female, but I feel ten feet tall when I smash it out!

    Hip thrusts. For the booty gainz. I don't mind the funny looks I get.
