    I love being outside doing anything... yard work, gardening, walking the dog, washing the car, you name it! Give me a beautiful day and I'll find something to do with it!

    You snow shovelers are a strange, strange bunch. You are all welcome to come over and shovel my driveway.

    No kidding! I hate it.

    I actually kind of like it too. My problem is it usually happens at inconvenient times - running late for work, can't get into the driveway at the end of the day, that kind of thing.

    Absolutely. I like shoveling snow way more now that I'm retired vs. when I was working for a living.

    I like walking around towns and local shopping districts.

    Also I used to take ballet as an adult. It was for fun but I quickly learned it was also a workout!

    Some people wouldn't think it is fun but I enjoy hanging my clothes on the clothesline to dry.

    folding laundry - same. also scrubbing bathtubs. i've got a cranky s houlder and i like the fine-control stuff that resembles the same kind of drill that you do for rehab. carrying groceries and laundry bags is good too.

    LOL Mine is also available for anyone that is looking for some shoveling fun. Our driveway is a little over 1/2 mile long.

    Pretty much all of my exercise is recreational based except for lifting. Cycling, rock climbing, hiking, skiing...my cycling can become "work" if I'm training for something, but that's pretty temporary a couple times per year...

    I tend to think of all of those things as both recreation and exercise.

    My favorite is hitting some hiking trails. Especially mountain areas. Gorgeous views and great air.

    I was just about to post the same. I found a ballet channel on YouTube with fab barre and floor workouts. How did you log calories in your MFP diary?
