    My favorite type of exercise is plyometrics! Lots of jumping and fast movements really pumps me up. My least favorite is strength exercises/yoga exercises because there's not a lot of movement and I get bored.. lol.

    I LOVE deep water aerobics - I add ankle weights & fin gloves to make it an even harder workout. I also love water zumba.

    At home I will do step aerobics or kettlebells.

    What about you, what is your favorite :smile:

    I have a newfound love of running, even though I'm really slow...and Zumba...and I love spinning (three forms of exercise? whoa)

    the only new thing I've tried that I didn't really care for was pilates...but will probably try it again now that I'm more fit...maybe.:yawn:

    GAH JEALOUS. Swimming is one of my favorites but I don't have a pool at home. :( Boyfriend's parents have one though so I think it's time to convince him to go swimming with me on one of his days off.

    Burpees? Really? I'm horrible at them, but that's also because I just started this whole lifestyle change thing. I'm sure they're great once your body is used to them.

    And I definitely had to google plyometrics because I hadn't heard of them before. Sounds interesting enough. But I so feel you about yoga. It's relaxing when it's after a long workout, but solely yoga workouts would get pretty boring.

    Water aerobics! Gah my school offered a class in that but I couldn't fit it into my schedule. :( Maybe next semester. And I've really been wanting to try zumba for awhile. Everyone I know who's done it, loves it.

    Ooh yes, elliptical is rather fun. :)

    I 'm a huge fan of walking too. :) Though no dog yet. Apartment doesn't allow pets. But someday. :)

    Running? Really? Gah I am SOOOO bad at running. Did it like grow on you over time? And of course you can have two favorites. :] And I've never tried pilates so I have no idea what I'd being getting myself into if I did.

    According to my HRM I burned 160 calories driving down a mountain for 12 minutes. So I guess my new favorite exercise is this road

    Flexing in the mirror to admire how striated my quads are is my personal favorite.

    I like Tae' Bo' boxing moves for exercise! Would love to take Martial Arts, but feel I am too overweight. I walk my dog "Snickerdoodle" and walk with my neighbor some mornings...I like water aerobics, but haven't been into that in awhile.

    I really enjoy the elliptical but I have to do the one in the gym because the home models just feel too rickety under my 300+ pounds. At the gym I can put it on medium resistance and go at a good clip for 45-60 minutes. I love the feeling of going fast like running but without all the pounding on my joints.

    I think it's kind of a love it or hate it kind of machine but if you are in the "love it" group you can get a nice little workout on it while justifying the time you just spent watching Maury Povich.

    I'm really looking forward to getting a new gym membership so I can start doing the elliptical again.

    Volleyball, running, Turbo Fire, P90X, Yoga, elliptical and dancing!! Am I allowed to have that many? Haha. If I HAD to choose one...probably volleyball, especially beach! You get such an awesome workout, have tons of fun, and then you can take a dive in the Pacific (or Atlantic if you don't live in Cali). SO NICE! ;D

    My most enjoyable is Horse riding - I have my own pony so ride a few times a week at least - sometimes 6 days if I have time.

    After that I love walking and swimming.
