Gotta be honest with you folks: Being at the gym makes me feel like I'm caged in a dungeon. I hate it. It's practically claustrophobic for me.
I LOVE the outdoors.
Things I do for exercise outside (and getting some Happy Vitamin D (with sunblock)):
-Kayaking
-Canoeing
-Nature center walks
-Short hikes
-Walks around the neighborhood with family and friends
-Bird watching
-Gardening
-Volunteering to do maintenance or build fences at the nature center
-Snowshoeing in the winter (I ADORE this!)
Obviously, not all of these are practical options to just 'get up and go.' I don't own a kayak, therefore a trip takes a good amount of planning, etc.
What kind of awesome exercise do you folks do outside?

In the winter it's definitely a problem...
I enjoy walking on the beach with my feet in the water. It's refreshing, you don't break a sweat, and if it does start getting too hot you can just dive in! I also love swimming in the sea.
Now that I moved to the UK this has become a distant memory... Of course, walking on the beach does require a long, sandy beach nearby!
When it's not winter, I enjoy walking around the city, or by the river. During the winter my only sport is swearing and cursing every time I step out of the house!0 -
Ah, I prefer the cold to the heat any day haha.
No good beaches around here either, unfortunately.
I also like to bike ride, but I need a new bike as mine is broken.
Other ideas?0 -
ah, it's mostly walking or jogging for me, but on nice days, I sometimes like to do more cardio outside. You know, jumping jacks or light weight training.0
