    I found a really cool gym. It's more like a playground than a regular gym. The workouts are basically circuit training based around things like running up and down stairs, doing bear crawls on balance beams and weaving through railings. I've found my body can tolerate this four days a week (fifth day is a straight movement and stretching day that feels awesome).

    It really depends.

    I work 12 hours shifts, 3-4 days a week. If I need a quick workout before work, I usually do one at home, like Insanity or something similar. Days off, I prefer to go to the gym, or I go to Crossfit, because I REALLY don't like spending too much time at home if I can help it. Helps keep me mentally happy.

    When I can, I do like to get outside and do various workouts there. Like when I travel, I'll often go for a mile run, find a field or empty space with trees or fences, do some squats, handstands, etc., then run back. Helps keep things unpredictable and exciting.

    I also work out at home. Did p90x, Insanity, 30 day shred, now doing 90 day body revolution. I love bring outside too but I'm not much of a runner lol

    Mix it up! Walking outside as much as possible, hand weights, dvds, random YouTube videos at home, and disc golf. Lots and lots of disc golf!

    @jennibean40‌ I just started taking a mix of Aikido and Krav Maga. It's really fun although I've never done anything like it so there's definitely a learning curve. I say go for it!

    I do weightlifting in my garage (currently doing stronglifts). I live in a rural town so I really enjoy the natural environment to do my walking/running/ and biking near my house.

    I have a very reasonably priced gym pass and use the free weights section, as well as attend a weekly yoga class. When the weather is terrible and the streets are a mess, I'll hit the treadmills there too. I prefer to run outdoors, though!

    Lately, in my campus gym on a treadmill, or in my dorm doing body weight strength training. Though as soon as this ice thaws and the snow melts, 100% outdoors!

    I do fitness in a boat!
    And I do fitness with a goat...
    And I will do it in the rain.
    And in the dark. And on a train.
    And in a car. And in a tree.
    Fitness is so good for you, you see!

    So I do fitness in a box.
    And I do fitness with a fox.
    And I do fitness in a house.
    And I do fitness with a mouse.
    And I do fitness here and there.
    Say! I do fitness ANHYWHERE!

    Gym because I have upper and lower body problems - can't run or do any impact (like with a lot of home cardio workouts); can't lift. Gym has a bike and safe machines.

    I'm frankly afraid to bike in the city.

    I go to a Jazzercise center. I like that every class has strength training so I will actually do it! And I think I've never gotten bored with it yet because of all the variety in music. It's the first fitness program I've ever done that I kept doing after 2 months. Big deal for me!

    Currently, I don't have access to a gym (the closest one is an hour away by bus) but I workout at home and go running outside. Currently doing Zombies, Run! 5K program as I am seriously outta shape. Learned on Monday that my mom's in training service puppy loves going on runs so I'm going to start bringing him with me. Keep him healthy too. :)

    Right now, mostly the gym.

    As soon as this accursed winter ends, I'll be spending a lot of time on my city's green way (a 15 mile paved trail with no cars). Apparently the nearest trailhead is only 2 miles from my front door. I'll be biking and running all over that thing all summer.

    I'm also trying to find a masters swimmers group. There is one that sounds perfect... But it conflicts with my freaking job.

    Home gym. My fiancé and I both lift and one of the first things we purchased for our home was a power rack, bench, Olympic weight set, and treadmill.

    Mostly at the gym for weights and BODYPUMP. Then there's the scenic jog around the reservoir where pretty sunsets sometimes happen.

    Also other forms of fitness that I try to sneak in: rock climbing, badminton, long walks around town, etc.

    I can never do fitness at home because I get really lazy and the couch is just so much more tempting. So instead I go to the YMCA and do karate at this local place
