Trying to remember what I did as a kid that I really loved so I can try some of it again. I want my cardio to be fun!!! :bigsmile:

So when I was a kid I know I did hoola hooping and jump roping and probably burned a thousand calories a day.

What did you do? Any and all ideas appreciated!

    I did absolutely nothing, just sat on my butt and read / played gameboy all day. This is my 'if I had a time machine' regret

    Climbed trees, played soccer and tennis, and did dance and gymnastics. I had a 6 pack from gymnastics when I was a teenager. That stuff is a serious workout!!

    Oh, and I when I was really little I used to pretend I was riding a horse and would "gallop" in endless circles in our yard. Wore through the grass and everything. :)

    skipping, climbing trees, riding my bike, playing british bulldog, playing hide and seek, doing dance routines to our favourite songs.

    If I did all that in a day now I'd be so tired... lol

    This was also me, sadly enough.

    My son has boundless energy. I was showing him how to 'bear crawl' the other day and he makes me look like an old lady with how fast he can do it!
