in Fitness and Exercise
i know this isn't hardcore fitness conversation, but curiosity gets the best of me.

what do you all like to do, more so for fun than just the physical benefit, exercise-wise?

my favorites are racquetball and ultimate frisbee

    Soccer; I started running as a way to improve my fitness for soccer but found that I enjoy running just for the sake of running (the run is its own reward)

    I love to hike! The further I can get away from civilization, the better. I love exploring new areas, seeing the wildlife, and smelling the fresh air.

    I also like to mountain bike. Nothing insane, just a nice steady climb. I'm weak at it, but the small improvements I see each time I take a ride are what keep me going!

    And walking... especially if it's in a neat city. I'll go all day.

    ETA: How could I forget running??? That too...

    Hiking and walking (somewhere pretty). Both are fun to me so it doesn't feel like exercise.

    Spontaneous belching contests with my friends' twin two-year-old girls. Not making this up. It's a serious event in the kitchen after dinner.

    Hiking! I live in an area surrounded by national forests, and I love to get outside and just hike and enjoy the quiet!

    I've only done it once, but: Snowboarding. OMG that was AWESOME. Can't wait until I can actually afford to do it regularly.

    That, and squash (nothing like whaling on a tiny rubber ball with all your might), and mountain biking. I pushed myself to my limits every time I went out. It was great, because my limits just kept getting more insane.

    Bouldering. The ONLY exercise I like.

    unless it's the obvious, what is that?

    Indoor wall climbing without any ropes.

    EDIT: Can be done outdoors on actual rocks/boulders, but I'm neither that proficient or brave yet!

    Walking with friends is great. We used to go for coffee and meals. Now we walk and talk and feel great.

    Golf, definitely. I like to run, bike, walk, swim, etc, but I do those things with the intent to burn calories. I like to walk a golf course, pulling my clubs, and the burn is an added bonus.

    We also went canoeing once this summer...that's one I'd like to do more. A great way to soak up the sun, enjoy the outdoors, spend time with my boyfriend, and as I found out the next day....an awesome arm workout. So sore.
