Mine is horse riding although I'm not allowed to do it at the moment So gutted.
Second is probably swimming. Although I don't swim very well I love the water.
What is yours?

I like yoga and walking/hiking0

Me in yellow, my friend J (age 75) in pink. Yup, we're sitting still, but we don't do that often - talking to the folks in the quad whose oars you can see, in this case. In season, around an hour of rowing, 4 days a week, weather permitting (as it usually does).2 -
Skiing, then hiking, cycling, and swimming outdoors.0

road cycling, MTB, and walking my dog.0

I am a swimmer. I love doing anything in or on the water so I swim laps and take water exercise classes. In the summer I also love kayaking. My second favorite is walking/hiking.0

Road cycling and strength training.

Now, it's likely golf (walking with a cart) and machine rowing. In the past, it used to be more trail running and hiking. Would like to get more into that again, but just don't seem to have enough time. Plus, you have to really look to find trails here (Tucson area) that aren't all rocks -- rock trails are not fun. Though the mineral rock diversity here is pretty stunning.0

Back in my school days I was a runner, doing both sprints in the spring and cross country in the fall.
For the past decade my knees have objected to running, so I've become a weight room junkie.1 -

I used to be a hiker and backpacker. I loved it. Since my husband can't do any of that any more (Parkinson's) I haven't been backpacking in years and I only get a short solo hike about once a month. I miss it. I took up running so I could still spend time outdoors and I walk the dog, but it isn't the same as spending time in the mountains.1

You use your leg and abs A LOT to stay on the horse and to guide it. Yes, it can be quite the workout for both horse and human.1 -

I dated a girl in high school that had two horses. Learned to ride bareback (her only saddles were too small for me). If you've ever been on a horse bareback for two hours (and I was pretty athletic), you'd know it's no joke. You hold on by your legs and pray the horse isn't ornery (mine was). One time, I swear my horse was trying to kill me. Full gallop and stopped dead, ducked it's head and I tumbled like 10 yards head over head in a cornfield. Not fun.
After my first few rides, I could barely walk for days. Grew accustomed to it.0 -

Ever been on a galloping horse?2 -
Swimming is absolute favorite. Cycling I do more. Lite hiking is happening more and more. Sold our sailboat last year during a general household downsizing; that's an activity, and there's exercise involved, but it isn't what I could justify an "an exercise."0
