I run and walk with my daughter in the stroller, do some strength training, and going to start swimming again now that it's getting warmer. Loving how exercise is making me feel and I want to find new fun ways to incorporate exercise into my life

I ride my bike to work in the summer. I'm honestly not a big fan of hot weather but the biking does help it be tolerable.0

Gardening. It burns a good amount of calories and to me it's fun and rewarding to see it so pretty outside. I know it's not actual exercise but hey calories burned are calories burned. I also farm part of my day when I get home from work so I'll take anything I can get.5

Running, biking and lifting for me. Sometimes yoga.0
-
Zumba! Do it with my 6 year old daughter and we have lots of fun.2

Walking is the only exercise I truly enjoy. I'm glad for the nice weather so I can make use of all the trails.1
-
Tennis.
I love riding my bike.
Swimming in a (not-too-cold) mountain stream...
Walking city streets and people watching
A long run in the rain
Wrestling the wife
Skiing an otherwise empty run
Getting to the top of the mountain in the sunshine
Body surfing on a Hawaiian beach
Have I missed anything?1 -
Walking
Dancing
Sailing0 -
Of all the exercise I do the one I actually love is hiking. There's nothing like hiking on trails in local parks looking out over the hill to see the Pacific Ocean and a beautiful sunrise.0

Running, cycling, hiking, swimming, kayaking, golf. Snowshoeing in the winter.
Obviously, outdoor activities preferred0 -
Not really exercising, but as a part time drummer after doing a show I can see my fit bit adds about 1500 calories added to my exercise log
It's funny that the Fitbit records a step every time I hit the bass drum pedal so after a show I have like 19,000 steps.
I never really count these but it's fun to see.0 -
I post this in every fun cardio thread...but I am hardcore into Dance Dance Revolution.
Do I probably look stupid rolling up to the arcade in my gym clothes with a towel and a gallon of water? Yeah. Do I care? Not at all.9 -

I don't really count it as exercise, but motorcycling uses a lot more muscle energy than people think.0 -
Sports! I know not everyone is into them, but I personally love combat sports, especially wrestling and boxing.1

I enjoy hiking when I have the chance.
When I'm running errands, I usually walk instead of driving. A nice walk is more relaxing than dealing with parking hassles.1 -

I'm learning to spin poi and it's fun and exercise.1

I love lifting (though I am not very good yet). Love walking, hiking, HIIT, tennis. Not a swimmer or runner but there are so many other choices!0

Sightseeing in a big city. We've gone to D.C. And Chicago. I logged 30k+ steps just walking around looking at interesting things.
Spending a day at Busch Gardens. It's a big park! Lots of walking and now my kids are getting big enough that we can ride rides together! I log a lot of steps after a day there.
I also like hiking. Before getting married we took 2 trips to the adirondacks and hiked the high peaks region. I would love to go back now that our kids are older.
For purposeful exercising I like to run. Currently training for a half marathon.0 -
