in Fitness and Exercise
I've lived a pretty sedentary lifestyle, and I'm trying to become more active. I have a job where I'm on my feet all day, and I go to the gym a couple times a week, but other than that I tend to just sit around the house. I want to fill my free time with more activity.

What are some physically demanding things that you like to do in your spare time? I love swimming when the weather permits, and kayaking when I can afford to rent one.

    kayaking/fishing is my big one, but im not opposed to tossing around a football or playing some ball hockey, theres rarely enough people for a decent game though

    would like to get into hiking but we'll see. theres some pretty nice trails around my area but thats a very time consuming hobby

    would also love to hear others ideas

    I LOVE hiking. Not only is it a great workout, but the time in nature combined with the exercise is a total stressbuster. I also go with a friend so we get to do our catching up while hiking.

    I also go for a lot of walks. Sometimes I choose to walk home instead of taking the bus from wherever I'm at.

    I love yoga too, as someone with back issues, it's done a lot for me.

    I'm going to try getting back into cycling soon, it's a good way to get around and get some exercise in.

    You could also try basketball - just grab a friend and play Donkey. You could try hitting a tennis ball against a wall - that's a great workout.

    Those are all the ideas I have off the top of my head!

    I'm a fan of hiking. I belong to a group that tries to get out about once a month. Meetup.com is a great source to find groups.

    I love hiking. I would go hiking everyday if I could.

    Also swimming, kayaking/rafting is pretty great too.
