Please, if you can, limit answers to stuff you do that does not involve following along with a DVD. I'm looking for originality here.

The most effective exercises are the ones you can do most frequently, so the stuff you find enjoyable will probably yield the best results. For me it's:

Suspension trainer calisthenics
Medicine ball training (specifically the kind you can only do with a hard, bouncy ball)
Jumping rope
Burpees (yes I ENJOY doing them)

    I love zumba. It's a fun way to burn off those calories!

    I honestly just love to walk/jog. For an hour, I feel like I am in the "zone" is I am walking by other people. I feel like I am in my own little world listening to music and no one can stop me :)

    Kinda sadistic, anything that requires me to see stars from exertion. Heavy squats and deadlifts are probably the most fun!

    I like to walk/jog, I do that outside most days. But I also love Zumba! I do that 2 days a week with a class, not with a dvd. Although, I have the dvd's, your right, it's not as much fun.

    Archery takes the cake... Nothing like working those arms and being deadly at the same time.
    I would so win the Hunger Games :p

    A good long run. My favourite run takes me along the banks of the Ottawa River and no matter how many times I run the same route there is something new to see plus I find long runs to be incredibly relaxing and meditative.

    Absolutely love all the Body classes: Pump, Balance, Combat and Attack. I did like Step but not sure i like the classes at the new gym i joined a few months ago. Combat is brilliant, and i really miss it, as i can only go to the gym weekedays, and the classes are on the weekends.

    All pretty aggressive classes, and somewhat similar intensity to when i played rugby. Oh, i miss RUGBY

    I like walking with my dog. I also may just spontaniously dance for a while - to fun songs or fast paced worship music.:happy:
