    You don't NEED clothes for walking and running.

    in the neighborhood I live in nudists are not welcome and likely to be arrested

    There's a guy in the UK ("The Naked Rambler") who's been arrested & sentenced to prison repeatedly for refusing to wear clothes.

    He's walked the length of Britain more than once wearing nothing except boots, socks, rucksack and sometimes a hat.

    Push ups (plyo push ups, military style, wide push ups).

    I like push ups too- so many variations. Side by side, decline, diamond pushups. All good stuff.

    Dancing like a fool around the house.

    I personally love swimming (I swam for years), but it does require "equipment" -- a POOL!

    Running is great. I started walking long distances recently and I find myself enjoying that (only in the early mornings and at night when it's cooler, and less crowded).

    I like open water swimming and barefoot running, yoga and gardening.

    Please tell me you have a high privacy fence LOL

    Not to be a party pooper but don't you need equipment to swim i.e. a pool??
    Not if you live in an extremely rainy locale.:laugh:

    Most of what I do does not require equipment. Squats, crunches, walking, lunges, stretching, yoga etc.

    Not really -- I am a fish -- I normally swim in the lake and if its not the right season, then yes, the pool (or a friends pool?) Haha. Then it's free and you don't need a membership to go. :D

    Squats (because I'm getting better at these).
    Jumping jacks.
    Raising my knees to my chest.
    Stretching.

    My favourite though, by far, fidgeting :bigsmile:

    I love this thread!

    Pull-ups on a cedar tree back in the woods. Push-ups, body weight squats, and running/walking are great too.

    jogging in place during commercial breaks.

    it's short bursts of cardio, you don't feel like your doing too much, burns about 12 calories a minute, AND you still get to watch your favorite shows without feeling guilty that you should be exercising.

    what could be better?
