    Ok, well recreational exercise is definitely not the same as recreational leisure that ends in TV watching and nodding off....... :laugh:


    So, I have to go with soccer or basketball, but I haven't played much of either in years. I also enjoy tennis. I am teaching my daughter to play it as well.

    Hiking, canoeing, skiing (x-country and downhill), long leisurely bike rides.

    Honestly these are my real motivation to get fit! I want to be able to do these things more! I don't want to have to rediscover my thigh muscles every ski season!!

    diced pineapples followed closely by dancing although dancing can often lead to diced pineapples.

    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!

    oh, i was definitely picturing pushing around boulders heh

    Ditto :laugh:

    Hitting people with a whip. And horizontal "dancing". (giggle)

    Which make me do arm workouts to build muscles and yoga to be toned, strong, and flexible, and give me a strong core for more enjoyment.

    Downhill skiing and golf (walking the course and carrying/pulling bag is the ONLY way to go - hate if you play at a course and they make you take a cart). Would love to join a volleyball league for "old people", but haven't found one yet and I think Hubby would be upset because I already have my "regular" gym times! :grumble: Gotta pick and choose at this point!

    Mountain Biking. I can burn through 1200 calories in just over an hour. Plus lots of parks have trails join a club from a bike shop to get riding friends that will push/ motivate you.
