What's your favourite way to exercise/work out?

Mine is dancing. I took up pole dancing last year, and love the strength it has given me, as well as slimming down my waist line.
My goal is to take up adult ballet/contemporary classes once I get out of the obese weight range.

Running for me0

Weightlifting right now. I was in to sprint triathlons a few years back, so running, swimming, and cycling. I hope to get back to that when time allows.0

Power lifting something about pulling 100 of pounds of the ground does it for me.0

walking outside or bellydance are my favorites0

Cleaning my house and having sex.6

Cycling and/or mountain biking. Hopefully one day, unicycling.2

Lifting weights, yoga, dance, interval training sometimes. I would love to get into pole!!1

Weight lifting. I use the gym at work during lunch. If something comes up, it feels strange to actually eat lunch during lunch, instead working out.0

Power lifting! Pole seems like it would be so much fun - I tried one class before but didn't stick with it1

Well according to the forums lately, these two activities burn calories.
I just wanted to pretend I work out.
On a serious note, my favorite is lifting. Some running.
That's about it.0 -
I loathed weight lifting for years. Then I realized that I could lift weights *without* doing bench press. Now I love weight lifting.
I know it sounds stupid, but it seemed like all weight lifters did bench press, so how could I possibly lift without it? I do overhead press instead.
I also genuinely enjoy running.0 -
Running. When my house purchase goes through I'm going to start lifting though, which I hope I'll love.
Then I'll have to decide which is my main activity. Probably running, at least until I'm close to goal.0 -
Running and the Elliptical0
-
CrossFit, and running, and lifting, and playing anything, and more CrossFit.

Crossfit and trail running. And doing whatever is needed to build strength, work capacity and endurance0

I'm enjoying running for it's cheapness(&limited commute) right now, but dancing would be my ideal. :)I am a ballet teacher and I'm going to give some unsolicited advice to the OP: Don't wait to sign up for ballet. Most of it can be modified, and few adult classes make you wear a leotard& tights. Unless you are saving it up as a reward, sign up for a progressive beginner class now, as enrollment should be starting soon for most studios. It's a ton of hard work- you'll really feel it.1

Yep. Compared to cycling, it's basically free.0
