Gym or home outdoor exercising?

Whichever one you enjoy enough to do!0

For me it really depends on what works with my schedule. I just moved to a small town in the South, so I joined a gym because there's no sidewalks in this area and it's too hot to exercise outside. But when I lived up north in a larger city I really enjoyed walking and jogging outside. But there, the nearest gym was very expensive and only had spin/yoga classes. So I say only join a gym if you really think it with work with your schedule/lifestyle.0

I enjoy weight lifting in the gym... oh and my zumba classes (it's my therapy) but everything else is at home.0

I use the gym the most. I go 3-5 times a week, doing cardio every time for 50 minutes and also add weights twice a week.
For years, I walked outdoors, which I love, but decided to go use the gym to avoid sun since skin cancer is in my family and I have a fair complexion. I still also walk the dog about once a week, though.
I do not really like exercising but I have "just done it" most of my adult life because I know I need it. I gain weight very easily. Using upbeat music helps me stay motivated and I do think it helps me to go somewhere where their are other people also exercising. If I see them doing it, it helps me to feel like I am not alone in making a regular effort when there are other things I would rather be doing.
A previous gym I went to had line dancing. I did that once a week and enjoyed that the most. I have suggested it to the gym I go to and maybe they will add it sometime, you never know.0 -
So far I have been sticking to outdoors and home workouts. I primarily walk outdoors. I live near a lake that has a wonderful path and the weather is mild here throughout the year. I do mostly yoga and some strength training at home. I use to really like gyms for their classes, but where I live gym memberships/classes are rather expensive.0

Preferred at home (DVDs, weights, circuits) or outdoors, but now use the gym bc I need the low-impact cardio options, plus some other equipment that I can't afford.0

If I can get outside for a walk or jog, then thats what I do. I don't really have a gym where I live so its not really an option. I also do a lot of youtube workouts. I especially like fitnessblender. They have so many great videos and they structure it so that you can play your own music while you do the workout.0
