    I do HEMA (Historic European Martial Arts) including fencing, longsword/heavy fighting, and archery. I ride horses as well, and would love to combine the two someday to try jousting, so I'm training my noble steed for that...

    I also run to build up endurance for sports, juggle to train my hand-eye coordination, and go on long hikes - we've managed 60km in a day, across mountains - simply because it's fun.

    I'm also too impatient to walk everywhere, but think using a car for anything under about 10 km is environmentally questionable, so I cycle just about everywhere in town. I've logged over 1000km in 8 months, just for Going Places.

    I refuse to do boring exercise for its own sake, so you'll never catch me on a treadmill.

    I play volleyball twice a week with co-workers during my lunch hour. I also run 2-3 days a week, and did 2 half-marathons last year. I always run outside. I hate running on the treadmill.

    Tennis and soccer in the spring/summer. It's too cold to be out there for the rest of the year. It's good to mix it up!

    I also do 2-3 triathlons a year and play in the local b-grade basketball comp.

    I don't know if this counts, but I'm a belly dancer. I don't do it for fitness though. I do it because it's awesome.

    Tennis. Used to be on a team. But now recreationally.

    Football. I was on a female football team a year ago. Loved it but there weren't as many woman interested this year so the league flopped.

    does taekwondo count as a sport? I haven't competed yet, but do have my yellow belt. My kids are green stripes and have 5 medals between the two of them.

    I also do Insanity.

    I'm a cheerleader, haha. So I get some exercise through tumbling/gymnastics. But most of my workouts are from at-home circuit conditioning, running, weights, etc. stuff that I do on my own either at home, or the gym.

    Kickball... yes, with the red rubber ball from elementary school. I'm on a co-ed adult league, and we play year around, outside. Makes for interesting games in the winter when it is snowy! This is not for fitness...but purely for fun!

    Theres always bowling! :)

    Not in my city... I WISH - I totally miss bowling... They removed all the bowling lanes to make way for a stupid bigger super store or mall... how dumb is that... I wrote an article about it and sent it to the times colonist and it got published even! (this was in 2006 when it happened)
