I've recently started boxing boy is it a workout for sure0 -
Cycling ... cycling LOTS!
And hiking and canoeing ...0 -
Roller skating! I used to skate derby but I haven't the time now but I still gotta get in my skating fix. Badminton is fun, although it's not super-calorie-burning for me. I love cycling- give me a fresh sunny day, a bicycle and some countryside and I'm happy. And, of course, picking up heavy things and putting them down again. Can't beat it!1

Boxing is my fave sport. Been doing it for about 5 years & you can incorporate so many different exercises into the weekly training. I also really like gymnastics even though I suck at it.0
-
Walking on relative flat terrain as it is about the only exercise I can do with my lovely knee. Would love to do hiking in the hills but the pain just isn't worth it. I do upper body strength training but don't enjoy it as much, just the results.1
-
Running early in the morning and watching the sun come up, hiking with my puppy, yoga, gardening
I lift weights twice a week but I hate it. I hate the gym in general. I would rather be outside.0 -
long walks!
going to the beach, boardwalks, nature trails, or just walking around your neighborhood.1 -
I love long walks. I lift a few times a week but that's more to maintain the lean mass I have. My training is pretty low volume so i don't really 'count' it. The deficit making difference comes from walking a lot for me.0
-
Walking my dogs. I have 3 - and 2 are puppies with lots of energy. In and out about 8 times a night, up and down the stairs, yesterday I got 15k steps and a lot of fresh air and nature and doggy QT0

Boxing! Broke my knee is November so anything high impact is out for me. So boxing is my new best friend that along with walking, love walking with my dog round where I keep my horse1
-
Hiking is my favorite. I do that once or twice a week. Lots of fun, great scenery, and trails with lots of elevation gain burn far more calories than my standard runs.2

I love to take my kids for a walk in the woods in their stroeller, the thing has better suspension than my car, it's really fun for me and them!0

Always Lifting!!! and SUP if the weathers good.1

Walking my kids to the park and playing outside for a little more then an hour (which goes by super duper fast!) burns almost 300 calories! I also do body weight strength training at home with an app on my phone (Ashy Bines Booty Challenge currently) or yoga videos from YouTube I love going on hikes but that doesn't happen so often. I also just found an evening Zumba class at the elementary school right around the corner so I would like to start going once a week starting next week I love swimming, but I don't have a pool or biking but I don't have a bicycle... Definitely something I'd like to invest in!
I also wear my youngest in a carrier for extra calories burned while walking!!!1 -
There are actually a lot of activities that I enjoy:
- I looove walking , specially after sitting all day - I love walking around town, checking new arrivals, I love walking around my block with something interested on my ears (like something in the language I am learning), I love walking by the sea when I have the chance...
- Hiking - it's like the walking on steroids
- Roller skating - wonderful activity
- I am competitive so I like actually all competition sports (handball, basketball, tennis, volleyball..)
- Gardening - this is something I have discovered lately and I truly enjoy caring for those small plants that will eventually give me this tasteful, healthy food.
- Dancing whether it a couple dance (like salsa) or solo dance in the living room, I really love it
Sad thing is that I do it so rarely, despite I really enjoy it. I haven't played any team sport since high school, I rarely hike since everyone around me would theoretically go hiking but not so much in practice
My partner is not that into dance, so I dropped that also. I work from home, so that eliminated walks to and from work. And I don't have a good skating track nearby where I live now
I know, I lot of excuses, but I had to gripe a little.0 -
Hiking/ walks with hubby and kids
Zumba w/ my daughter
Jumping on the trampoline!1 -
Hiking. However, I also do weights. It's just that those are not my favorite.1
-
Tennis! and Long walks along the countryside. Both are fun0

Couldn't agree more. I hike the Appalachian mountains every weekend.1
