    Kickboxing/muay thai and not the aerobic video kind:tongue: . Works every muscle with a high burn rate!

    Weight lifting.

    Just to get around the loophole of only having one "exercise", I wouldn't consider golf as "exercise" - I'd just call it recreation and still play a lot of it.

    Running. Just because I need to do it, from an emotional standpoint, not because I think it's the end-all-be-all.

    Probably if I had to only pick one thing, from a fitness standpoint, it would be a burpee. But...I DONWANNA! :grumble:

    I would go with Anvil's answer if he wasn't a cheater. :tongue:

    SWIM!!! Swimming will always be my favorite exercise, and it's a great low-impact, full-body workout without feeling all hot and sweaty afterwards.

    Burpee is where I buy flower seeds. What are you talking about?
    Zumba is fun, you work everything, stay limber and have fun.
    Swimming is great, but does not result in weight loss.
    Swimming is safe in that you do not damage joints, no pressure points.
    Also consider that women's muscles are in the thighs, not arms and shoulder, so unlike men, we are not burning calories like men do in the pool.
    Squats with or without weights and cycling are out for me now, bad knees.
    Running -- never could run, also does damage.
    Walking is now my exercise of choice, but walking like cycling only exercise some muscles.
    I have found that most everything tightens joints and ligaments that once were limber.
    I would recommend Zumba. Try it on youtube and see how much fun it is.

    "Swimming is great, but does not result in weight loss."

    WTF are you talking about? What kind of swimming have YOU been doing??? Swimming is great for weight loss, but you have to work hard for it, just like with any other exercise.

    Although I hate them - think it would be burpees. A few of those each morning gets the heart racing! :)

    Too tricksy - I love variety. But if it had to be just one, then running; biggest burn in shortest time and helps me remember that I'm actually fit these days!

    Dumbbell clean and press. Hits every muscle. (Bit cheating really because it's two exercises in one... but that's obvious by the name!)
