Hello MFP friends. I have been avoiding the gym lately just because my summer is winding down and with school starting up again i really want to use every second of vacation i have left to it's fullest (aka not going to the gym) anyone have any fun(ish) exercise ideas?

Thanks!
-Kelsey.

Cycling is super-fun and keeps you outdoors.

Serious weight-training, although it doesn't have the immediate calorie burn of cardio, is something I find really fun, and there's a tremendous sense of satisfaction when you lift more every session.

Even standard gym-based cardio is fun with the right soundtrack. Find music you love, with a beat to drive you, stick it on your MP3 player and get on the machines.

zumba fitness classes are brilliant, but alternatively zumba on the wii is also great fun for when you have 20 mins spare.

Another vote for Zumba here - I laugh through lots of it. Also any kind of dancing classes, line dancing, tap, whatever. I just love anything with music:bigsmile:

Play a sport that you enjoy...go dancing with some friends...walk/run a dog through the park...backpacking and hiking are fun...

Exercise doesn't have to be a set workout on a DVD or in a gym class. Just anything that gets you moving and elevates the heart rate for a few minutes.

Go dancing the night away, no booze allowed just drink lots of water.

I love my Cardio Kickbox class at LA Fitness. I try different instructors for variety. Music is pumping and it's a total endorphin high!

Sex? its good exercise and fun!

I hear a lot about Zumba so will be trying to myself soo. I find the gym boring and rarely go. Only once a week and maybe for a yoga class. I like exercising outdoors, so running and biking. I feel restricted at the gym, and being round others makes me feel a little insecure. Weird, I know but I love the freedom of being outside.

I love going on a run or walk with my husband. If you have anybody who you love spending time with, have them join you! also hiking is so relaxing. Anything with a buddy makes the time go by fast and doesnt feel like exercise.

Leslie Sansone Walk Video's for doing at home, I love it, do the 2 mile alot, Makes me feel Great!

I've tryed doing Zumba On-Demand. It was actually really fun. I'm considering buying the DVD's or going to a local class.

Learning martial arts is fun! It's also a big self-esteem booster, too!

get in your pannies and t shirt, play your fav songs and dance around the house like a 13 yr old.....not only are you burning calories, but it makes you feel vigorated and youthful at the sme time

any type of group fitness class! Love the Les Mills classes (body pump, body attack, body combat)

i also like doing my own circuits, i like seeing how much i can push myself

ShaeDetermined

Beach volleyball
Jogging on the beach
Swimming
Kayaking
Jet skiing
Bootcamp or pilates at the park or beach
Even hit the playground

There's so much fun to be had outdoors, no need to confine yourself to the gym.
