    I rode my Strawberry Shortcake big wheel EVERYWHERE when I was little. Until the damn wheel in front split right in half. Then later I did dance, cheering and baton.

    I walked EVERYWHERE! Rode my bike in the back yard (lived in the country) - talk about a workout riding through grass fields and peagravel. LOL. Skip-its. Jumping rope. Running around the yard in nonsensical circles. Basketball. Dance class. Swimming ALL summer long.

    biking all the time, playing games like tag and mr. wolf, we had a pool till I was 10 so there was always swimming, Jumping rope, swinging till we were even with the bar for hours on end.

    In the winter we would go tobogganning and skating and build snowmen and forts, heck just walking to school in the white stuff!
