    Running. Then when I'm done running I run some more.

    That's actually less true since I pseudo-retired from marathon running. But the answer is still running.

    I used to be a runner and I still like to do it some. But I have some leg/knee issues & pain that get worse with running. I like biking as well, but I've learned that I need to have a balance and look forward to my exercise. So I've kept the biking in on weekends and I've been walking a lot all week. I did 30 miles this week, which is about what I used to run.

    I've read every book under the sun and have heard a lot that the distance is what matters, not whether you walk or run it (in terms of burning up calories). Walking will just take longer.

    I am wondering: Has anyone use walking as their main exercise and seen results? I hope I'm on the right course.

    I walk long distances daily, listening to podcasts. Not the hardest or fastest work out ever but it reduces the excuses. It also builds endurance. I can do 10km with no dramas now. I sometimes incorporate short sprints with a lower distance walk to keep my heart rate up.

    I try to walk a lot during winter. I live in Florida and work in retail, so I kind of work around what temperature and my feet will allow. I don't really like running. It feels like too much work to me, whereas walking just feels like... well, walking. It's psychological for me, it's so much more relaxing even if it takes longer. I definitely see results when I stick with it though, especially if I use the treadmill and add incline.

    My favorite exercises are hula hooping, rowing, walking, swimming and yoga. I'm prone to injury and all about low-impact.

    Zumba is always my go to (I was an instructor for about three years). Now that I don't teach I do running, Pilates, and weights.

    Walking is mostly what exercise I get. About 30 min (2 miles) a day. Sometimes a bit more. Has worked wonders for increasing the calories I can eat and I really enjoy walking through the neighborhood and listening to podcasts.

    I've been learning Olympic weightlifting for the last few months. I'm getting a bit better at the snatch, but I really really love doing Clean and Jerks.

    Before that I was doing powerlifting and really enjoyed seeing the kilos add up on my deadlifts.

    I also play hockey (poorly) with a group of non-competitive folks once per week, which is a great cardio workout and brutal ego killer.

    I love yoga, but the one I do the most is run. I enjoy running because it's something I can do on my own and gives me time to introvert

    I love biking. It's a great way to commute to work and the paths are often really nice :smile:

    Yoga and rock climbing! Yoga helps you get all stretched out and align your body and climbing is VERY good cardio and very good for strength. I do circuit training to build additional strength for climbing.

    I am really curious about tabata! What kind of training do you do?

    My absolute favorite exercise is strength training...specifically, the big 3: bench, squat, and deadlift! Makes me feel like a bada**! :smiley:
