    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.

    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!

    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!!! ;)

    There are actually a lot of activities that I enjoy:
    - I looove walking <3, 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 <3 - 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 <3 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 :D
    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 :D
    I know, I lot of excuses, but I had to gripe a little. :)

    Hiking. :) However, I also do weights. It's just that those are not my favorite.

    Of all the exercise I do the one I actually love is hiking. There's nothing like hiking on trails in local parks looking out over the hill to see the Pacific Ocean and a beautiful sunrise.

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

    Going out for walks, hiking, binge watching TV shows on the treadmill (I'm going to watch them anyway... might as well burn calories in the process).
