They say the best exercise is something you enjoy doing but I've never really found something that I really enjoy... So I'm putting it out there to get some new ideas - what's your go to, or your favourite way to exercise and get fit?

Both suit my self-competitive nature. I enjoy the activities and enjoy the results they give me.0 -

What changed to make you start enjoying it? Tonight will be my final run in the C25K program. I love the challenge, and completing it, and really like being able to say that I can run 5k...but I don't particularly enjoy the actual running part. I think I'd like to, though.

Squats on my Total Gym Fit, it's easy for me; to do. I can increase the resistance levels (which're my body weight, on a movable incline bench) & it allows usage of a barbel, to attach additional weight.0

I love gymnastics, calisthenics, tumbling, pretty much anything that's fun and looks cool.
I also like weight lifting (most importantly the results it gives).0 -

With me, I just feel better during and after a run. That's why I enjoy it. It makes me feel good. Both physically and mentally. Find that sweet spot, fast enough to be a challenge but not so fast that it hurts.
Chalk up running as my favorite exercise. Lifting ain't so bad either.2
