Where do you exercise?

I swim 6 nights a week at local leisure centre and ride my horse at local stables. I also walk the dogs but my hubby comes with me to do that. I have tried the gym but I really don't like it so I have chosen exercise I do like. I would love to have a go at Zumba but am not confident enough to go on my own0

I go kickboxing once a week at a gym with a friend. I walk my 2 dogs around my local park and I am lucky enough to have a canal within 3 miles of my house. I used to run 8 miles on the canal but got out of the habit after a couple of incidents a few years back.
is there a keep fit class local to you or a gym?0 -
I dont go outside to do exercise, everyone is a suspect! lol
I have my equipment at home, when i cant use tv i use my laptop to do a dvd. Sometimes i do workouts from youtube, i like fitsugartv....0 -
In my art studio/computer room/cleaning storage/guest room.0

I do my strength training at home with kettlebells using the beginner's workout from user FitnessBlender on YouTube. I also do pushups and planks and some dumbbell work targeting my forearms and wrists. For cardio I go biking, trail running and kayaking. Can you find another lady from maybe your church or something to go work out with you? Or would your husband consider going with you? Also, just be aware that as you succeed, you may have other issues to work out in your marriage depending on where your husband's concern is coming from. When two people are in a relationship, and one of them starts to change significantly (and weight loss and fitness IS a significant change) it absolutely WILL change the dynamics of the relationship and communication is key to getting through it.0

I walk at the mall at lunch M-F, or walk in the neighborhood if the weather is not too hot/not too cold (I think I'm Goldilocks) and M-F I do T-25 at home and then walk my mutt in the late evening. Weekends are usually spent hiking with my BF and our mutts.0

I workout in my basement doing exercise DVDs. Right now I'm on T25 but I've done Hip Hop Abs, 30DS, and others of Jillian's too. When I'm done with my DVD I go outside for walk/jog or a walk with the dog for a half hour. I can appreciate where your husband is coming from. My husband isn't keen on my being out (when it's pitch black) and so over the winter I imagine that I'll just do 2 DVDs or 1 longer one to get my full WO in. We don't even live in a bad neighborhood - The Hubsy is just a bit protective. (Plus, and don't tell him I admitted this out loud - I'm fairly clumsy and so there's a good chance that I would fall and hurt myself in the pitch black and no one would find me until it was light outside. :ohwell: )0

I have a small gym set up in my basement: TV with DVD and VCR for workout videos (Biggest Loser, Power90 and P90X), treadmill, elliptical, and weights. However, my favorite workout is walking/jogging the paved roads of the nearby cemetery. Sounds weird, I know, but this cemetery in my town is a very popular workout spot for people of all ages. I follow all of the roads throughout the cemetery in one direction and then follow them back to my car, covering the entire cemetery twice. This course is about 5 miles.0

I love my DVDs 6 mornings a week. Could you pick up a cheap used TV good enough to play DVDs? You wouldn't have to have lots of fancy stuff or cable.0

I workout at home. I do yoga, lift dumbbells, or will walk my yard. When I run it's at the park.0

Mostly @ the garage gym. I still go to the gym for things I don't yet have.0

Oh my goodness - I walk/jog in the cemetary right by my house too. Totally agree that it sounds strange but I find it very serene and not super busy with nicely paved/maintained roads.0 -

Couch to 5k. I've never done but I think that there's a program/schedule to follow.0 -
At home or outside. Next Spring I have plans to build a home gym separate from the house.
Hiking, biking, chopping wood, LOTS of yard work (we have 80 acres) outside. DVDs, weights, step, rsistance bands and body weight exercises inside. And occasionally the treadmill, but only in Winter.0 -
I work out at home with tapes, and walk. Unless I swim which is an indoor pool.
There are some good exercise books, and I think there are a lot of good work outs on u-tube which are free.0 -
Why doesn't he want you to walk in your neighborhood?
I work out at the gym a few days a week, & then at home.
Sometimes I'll use the community center near my house for the walking track.0 -
I walk around the lake I live across the street from! It's about 5 miles around so it makes for a nice jaunt with flat stretches as well as varying inclines and declines. It's really the only thing I like about living where I do lol :P0

Sounds like he is holding you back from trying to get fit. If it is that dangerous in your neighborhood, I would move. You could buy a Wii Fit and start with that.0

Right now, I'm just running, I'm doing that (laugh) by my gym. I park in the gym parking lot and run in the nearby neighborhood. Sometimes, I go to the park, but they have a porta potty that you HAVE to pass by, unless you turn around before getting there, and it stinks. I don't like holding my breath to bypass that and then doggie crap thing that's a few feet from it. So, sometimes, I will just run one lap in the park, and then run through a nearby neighborhood.
When it gets too cold for me, I'll start working out IN the gym. LOL.0
