in Fitness and Exercise
Besides all the normal exercising you do. What kind of exercising do you do for fun that burns some calories. Such as sports, dancing, rock climbing, swimming, hiking, ...ect???

    Big trampoline centres are popular here at the moment, I want to try that - my husband thinks I'll injure myself though!

    Apparently it's good for lymphatic system and circulatory health

    Squash. Love it so much. Running round, into walls, bouncing off walls hehe being evil with sneaky drop shots when your opponent thought you were going to smash it. Lobbing it over a 6ft2 guys head is always fun.

    And swimming, very relaxing

    Mountain biking...a full days bedroom cardio...all good fun.

    Plain old walking can't be beaten too, I love getting up early and walking around the local lake, starts my day right both physically and mentally.

    I rock climb :) sometimes just do a bit of bouldering. It uses every muscle in the body and burns a super amount of calories :smiley: It's great fun too

    I like long walks in a park beating a white ball (repeatedly) with a stick.

    I pick a spot on the map (usually with a restaurant nearby) and ride my bicycle there and back.

    I row (on a machine and on the water), run, and hike. Love all of it. I wouldn't do it if I didn't like it.

    I ride a bike...I love riding a bike...it is my "normal" exercising. Other than that, I lift some weights a couple times per week...take the occasional hike...hit the climbing gym a couple times per month, etc. The vast majority of my "normal" exercising is "fun" recreational activity.

    My normal exercising is fun for me...I enjoy lifting weights and the competition of running (even if every training run is not fun). I also enjoy hiking, rock climbing and mountain biking, although I don't get to do alot of the latter two nowadays.

    I enjoy my regular exercise. So lifting weights and walking outside. But for super fun exercise I like dancing. Like all out, whip your hair, push yourself to the limit dancing.

    Mountain biking - makes me feel like a kid again. Just something so much fun about riding a bike.

    Ice hockey - heck of a workout and huge fun! Unfortunately, where I live now the closest ice rink is about 3 hours away. I really miss it - used to skate practice/pickup games 3-4 mornings a week, then one or two league games a week on top of that.
