    I used to dance also. Now I run. I am looking into some adult ballet classes. They are through a ballet company and have levels so its not just for adults who never danced. I am aslo interested in learning mixed martial arts. I never took martial arts and it's interesting to watch UFC (amongst others).

    Oh, I also hike when the weather is cool enough here.

    I HATE GYMS!!!! & Treadmills.......

    I work on the 16th floor in a 21 floor building and walk the stairs for 20 minutes after work. I also do the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and you tube workout videos.

    It keeps it fun.

    I also cheered in high school and played softball so working out never seemed so boring and like work. I miss fun things like that
    :(

    For fun, and one reason I wanted to get into better shape, I play flag football and softball on the weekends. I also enjoy hiking. I've also done a couple of Warrior Dash's.

    I burned 1340 calories on Dance Dance revolution over 5 hours yesterday. DDR is my primary workout. You can go pretty damn hard.

    I never go to the gym. At home I pole dance, beat the punching bag, body rock, get on the spin bike, throw the sand bag around, or climb trees with the kids.

    Bike to work. I DO take classes at the gym (LA Fitness), I've done yoga and Zumba but there are tons of others. I've also done some Zumba for Kinect and Wii Fit things. My husband currently plays on hockey and volleyball leagues and does basketball and soccer leagues during other seasons.

    I use the exercise bike at home, in front of some TV/a DVD. I'm considering digging out my Playstation2 and playing through some Final Fantasy games (never played before, ex-boyfriend lent them to me) and having a go on them while I bike.

    I also swim quite a bit these days.

    I'd love to get back into dancing, though. I danced every week from the age of 3 right until I was 16. I kinda miss it.

    Nobody is forcing you to go to the gym if you have other exercises you'd rather be doing, but I actually enjoy my time in the gym. I find it very relaxing and soothing. Outside of the gym I do enjoy walking my dogs, though.

    Pole dancing is really fun and an incredible workout. That might be something that you like with your gymnastics background. I used to be a cheerleader and gymnast too - they say gymnasts never quit, they just become pole dancers ;)
