    Hey fishborn - that's terrific. I love to swim but never mastered the art of swimming in the ocean. Good job!

    Only my trainers I'm afraid - no room for a home gym here.

    When I go to the gym I prefer the leg abductor/adductors to get my legs in a decent shape.

    I HATE TO EXERCISE! IT'S THE DEVIL!!!! :devil: :devil: :devil:

    Phew - had to get that out of my system...

    That being said I clearly dont have a favorite. lol :laugh:
    Though, I have started riding my exercise bike and starting tomorrow am going to do 2 things:

    1) A friend of mine is doing a 120 mile bike challenge for the month of November (I hate exercise, but I love a challenge)
    2) I have decided that I am going to ride my effing God I hate you bike for 30 minutes a day and track how many miles I go for 3 months. At the end of the 3 months I am going to figure out where in real life I would have been able to travel. Yes - this may be a little lame, but I'm not sure if you are aware of this or not but I HATE TO EXERCISE so I had to try to think of something to make it interesting for myself. :grumble:

    I do love to play softball and have joined a team. I play catcher because other than pitcher that is the most active position and I get the best workout at it. :happy:

    I own an awesome pair of hiking boots - and I wear them everywhere. Walking for 6 hours around DC, walking for 4 hours around Paris. I even had to wear one of them to a formal dance once, when I had a broken foot. They were the only shoes my orthopedist allowed. It was either the hiking boot or cast & crutches. I wasn't very graceful dancing, but I did dance!!

    I absolutely love the rowing machine at the gym! Works everything, and reminds me of summers on the lake when I was young.

    The pool ... wish I had one in my basement. But I hit the community center in the next town over, and swim my little heart out at least once a week. I just totally love to swim.

    The olympic bar. It just makes me feel powerful to squat, deadlift or do push presses with it.
