Hey guys!

I just want to know about what all your favourite exercises are and why you love them so much!

Mine would be the leg press, I absolutely love this exercise because I love the strain it puts on my hamstrings, just that raw feeling!

So please share your thoughts guys! What is your favourite exercise!

Thanks,
G

    I do running, swimming and running regularly and a bit of fitness every now and then. My favorite activity is running; I feel very free when doing that, exploring the countryside around my town and getting rid of my stress in that way.

    @SirJaseph That sounds brilliant I bet it's even more the better when the sun is shining.

    I love tennis. I'm pretty much obsessed with it. All of the other exercise I do is pretty much to keep me in shape so I can play tennis, like cross training. I couldn't play at all last week due to rain and I am very grumpy!

    @North44 That's awesome, tennis is really tiring isn't it! I could never get the hang of it, hand eye co-ordination is too bad for that!

    I love biking! I can vary route, speed, and distance to get whatever kind of workout I'm looking for that day. Its also something I can do with my kids so I don't have to try to fit exercise in around caring for them. It has the added bonus of instilling healthy habits early for them. My 7 year old loves to ask how many miles we've ridden she can easily ride 5-7 miles at an average of 10mph and when school ends next week we'll be trying some longer rides on a local trail.

    Deadlift. Hits just about everything.

    At the minute bent over rows are just my favourite exercise going, I love how strong they make me feel!
    Outside the gym, swimming and roller blading are my go-to activities

    I love, love, love golf but unless I'm walking it's not much exercise (and I'm currently on the DL and can't play so very grumpy and sad). Inside the gym I LOVE my dance fusion class. I never thought I could have so much fun dancing without alcohol! I burn a crap ton of calories, my heart rate soars and I'm grinning ear to ear every week. I love how I feel when I'm done lifting and I love the cardio workout and calorie burn from spinning.

    Big hikes with lots of altitude gain. It's a great workout that you get to spend with others and enjoy the great outdoors.

    Hiking. Fresh air, nature, a great workout that doesn't feel like a workout, good for body and soul.

    Bodypump as I really like to push myself in each class and feel like I've achieved something when I'm able to increase my weight!

    I like step workouts with weights, it burns a ton of calories and I can feel what muscles are being targeted after.

    Dancing is my favorite cardio exercise. Leg press or squats for strength.

    I'm addicted to Zumba. It burns a ton of calories, it challenges me mentally and makes me feel sexy all at the same time. I never get tired of it.

    I don't have just 1. I love to tri, because I enjoy swimming, cycling, and running. I love long bike rides. Just me and my music and open country roads. I love kayaking. Can't explain why. I love tennis. There is just something about hitting little green balls that makes me happy. I love scuba diving. The underwater world is just amazing and beautiful. Those are some of my favorites.
