    Swimming does it for me. Love to just do laps for a couple of hours, the isolation and repetitive nature allows me to free my mind to just free associate and the solutions to problems just pop into my head. If I cannot swim I'll walk 15 to 20 kms a day.

    Dumbell routines for strength and some simple yoga stretches for flexibility.

    I like being outside, so hiking when I've a whole weekend free and running as part of my schedule. Don't care if it's raining, out I go! I get wet in the shower afterwards anyway so no problem. And I don't have hundreds of pounds for running gear, so cheap it is.

    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.

    Running is cheap?! :noway: :laugh:

    I don't need a gym membership, I don't have to pay a class fee, and I don't *have* to pay for registration for races if I don't race. I need shoes anyway, and wear normal clothes. So, yeah, as exercise goes, it's cheap.

    Edited to quote the correct post.

    Sorry for having a sense of humour.... :huh:

    Crossfit and running. These have given me the fitness to hike, snowboard and take on the world and tackle anything. Yoga to unwind. Netball for social team sport

    Favs? Walking (outside, lonnnnggggg) walks and boxing. I'm working on trying to *like* strength/weight lifting more. I know it's good for me, but I still don't love it just yet.

    Lifting heavy things. Rowing. Swimming. Cycling. I have run in the past, but I have come to terms with the fact that my strength is not running (achilles tendonitis and shin splint issues).

    Running, cycling, golf, swimming, kayaking.
    Currently on hiatus from all of them :( while I recover from surgery and gradually increase activity. Right now, long walks to get outside.

    Lifting, running, and long dog walks :D I prefer doing the cardio outside if at all possible.

    swimming
    squash
    lifting
    walking - I do love walking in general - but working out wise, I prefer the above :)
    running - I like this more than I ever thought I would but I have to coerce myself into possibly beating a time or something to get myself doing it!

    Playing basketball with my husband. We play in our driveway so not only does he challenge me to play harder, I also enjoy being outside and getting some Vitamin D every day. I also enjoy the Xhit videos on Youtube for some strength training.

    Golfing while pulling clubs and walking! I am on a streak at the moment. So far I have golfed at least 18 holes (twice I have done 27 holes) 5 days in a row. Weather permitting I hope to make it 10 days. Tomorrow I am golfing in the morning and after dinner. Did I mention I love to golf. LOL

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

    $300 for shoes every year... vs $200 for a bike...

    And yeah, I know you could spend more for a bike, but you can spend more for shoes too..

    For the casual athlete, biking is less expensive.

    What can you get (except maybe an older road bike) for $200?

    I like them both equally, I can't ride outside all year 'round (I'm not one of those crazy Canucks that rides outside when it's -40) but I can, ad do, run winter & summer.

    Walmart, Target, etc Lasts 12-18 months.

    People who would ride a $200 bicycle would probably also buy $2 flip-flops for running.

    I would ride a $200 bicycle. and I wear $120 sneakers.

    I rode a $95 bicycle for a year in Afghanistan, put $20 in parts into it, and sold it for $75 when I left.

    You can, and I have ridden a $200 bike...it was fine for the occasional ride...it sucked when I started riding daily. Kind of like you could probably get away with some cheap runners from a big box store if you only run occasionally...but if you're running daily, you'd want something more.

    I sucked it up for about 6 months with my $200 beater because I wanted to make sure I was really into the whole cycling thing before I made a bigger investment. My first entry level bike from a shop ran me about $900...my shoes were around $100...cycling shorts around $60-$80 depending and you need multiple pair...and shorts aren't anything you want to get too cheap with when you're putting in mileage...they also have to be replaced annually when the chamois wears out. Decent Jerseys will run you around $60-$80 as well...and cheap jerseys aren't very comfortable.

    I would consider myself to be a casual/recreational athlete and cycling enthusiast...it's expensive. My current road bike is a middle of the road carbon bike and ran me about $2,500.

    My trainer who races competitively (I only do it for fun) has a bike that is over $10K...he's a retired pro though...
