    Running, no contest... Mostly because I just recently got into running, and absolutely loved it. And then, due to medical reasons, I was told that I may not be able to run again. I miss it so much!

    Squats since they are useful for conditioning/cardio/strength

    Either running or yoga. They're both fun, keep me level, and offer variety in their own way.

    Sports! Skating, skiing, hockey... do it for the FUN of it and it doesn't even seem like exercise! Although, I do feel fantastic after a good 30 minute run. Guess I can't pick just one :-)

    Hiking for me. I can do it alone or with friends. The views are amazing and I love getting that sunshine and fresh air. And the steep trails really help strengthen my legs.

    Hiking! We have so many desert mountains to climb. I can't wait for the wildflower season in the spring. (We are hoping to adopt a golden retriever soon, so I will even have a new hiking buddy, too.) Hiking uses a lot of muscles, keeping yourself stable going up and down on uneven surfaces, it's good cardio, and nothing beats the feeling of standing on top of a mountain you just climbed.

    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.

    Dammit, I must have just been imagining lifting those weights earlier if I have no muscles in my arms.

    Seriously though, yes women have smaller muscles than men in general and so burn fewer calories. But that's the same regardless of what the workout is! There's only one known cure to this problem - strength training.

    Cycling. Good for burning calories, goes by quickly & I really enjoy the outdoors. Plus if I wanted to tone my butt & legs, I could go up lots of hills peddling without sitting on the seat! And riding against the wind.

    Circuit training, that counts as one exercise, right?
