I was wondering if anyone wanted to share your favorite fun activities that involve moving your body? Not workouts but just fun activities. I like my workouts to feel challenging but I have been thinking about making more time for fun! I don't have kids so I feel a little guilty about this, but I like hooping and playing on my DDR. Now that I have lost a bit of weight I can actually keep my hoop up for a while!
Of course outdoor activities are the most fun. I like hiking and swimming in natural water bodies, but I don't do those things as much as I would like. I have been thinking about trying geocaching again. I like a little mental challenge with my activity.

Dancing is always fun
I love swing dance! They have swing, latin, and ballroom dance nights in most cities 0 -
I love cycling and cycle with my son to school every morning.0

I havent been doing these lately but I like to hoop dance & play with my Wii active. Also raquetball! Lazer tag!0

I have a bike but I just think of it for commuting. Maybe I should look for some fun bike trails. I'm uncoordinated that I'm afraid of team sports with balls. LOL. I do like dancing, but my husband needs a knee replacement so I would feel weird going out dancing without him.0

Great thread! I was just thinking these days about a way to add more fun sportish things in my life. Thought about purchasing a long board - I had a skateboard when I was young and cool, harhar0

OMG. My balance is terrible and I'm a wimp about falling and hurting myself. Although I used to like horseback riding. Oh, and scuba. Why do I like expensive stuff? LOL. Yesterday I heard about the zombie running app. I'm not a runner, but I have been trying jogging a little and that sounds fun. I might buy the Couch to 5K zombie running app.

Yeah, I am also not so sure about that anymore. My concern is now a bit like: IF I hurt myself, it would be way worse, cause I have kids and a job now. It´s not the same anymore than being 16, 17...
I like the zombie apps and think they are worth their money. Am I a runner now? No :-D But that´s not the fault of the app, it´s just me.
So a sport that is fun and not dangerous, and cheap, rofl...maybe something with dancing. I am not a fan of following a DVD or something like that, dunno. Makes me feel awkward. Doing stuff in a team often requires games on the weekends and so on, but these are already packed with my son´s football games...wow, first word problems...

Best advice I ever heard was "Dont think of it as exercise... its recess!"0

LOL Neonbeige. No, I'm just chatting now. I think it might be good for me to get over some of my caution about hurting myself. I have always wanted to learn how to surf even though my balance is terrible. Skateboarding is kind of like surfing right? Or skiing, that is kind of dangerous, but it sounds fun. Sports are just expensive. I would love to try sea kayaking, that would be a good arm workout.0

You might try bellydance. It's fun and you'll get a good workout. You can do it even if you aren't a great dancer, doesn't need special equipment (maybe a hip scarf). There are videos that you can use but a class is best.0

That's a good idea!0

I personally would love to go rollerblading that would be fun!0
