What are your favorite ways to exercise?

Options
I'm looking for new sports or activities to burn calories. I started trying to lose weight a few weeks ago. I wanted to ease into exercise with something pretty easy to do so I started running. I run about 5 miles everyday. I have lost 8 pounds so far. I still enjoy running but I'm getting kind of bored with it so I thought I would try a new activity. I'm looking for ideas. What is an exercise or activity that you enjoy doing? I'm trying to lose about 70 pounds to get to my goal weight in the next year or two. Thank you for any ideas.

    Les Mills classes! Particularly Body Combat and Body Pump. I also enjoy spinning and swimming. I'd love to be able to run but I have a maltracking patella so can't :(

    Running is my current favourite. I do love my aerobics classes too. I really want to try Zumba but can't make any of the local class times.

    I like weight training and Insanity Plyo (lots of jumping around).

    What about taking up a new hobby such as rowing or cycling if you get bored easy, or join a running club?

    Thank you all for your suggestions. I think I will try pilates and belly dancing for now. I may try swimming, biking or tennis later on. Zumba sounds like it will be fun when I can afford the classes.
