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???

Rugby
I started playing rugby in November for the first time ever, despite being obese and 34.
I absolutely love it and feel totally miserable if I miss a session!
I honestly (because I have always hated exercise and sports and would never have believed anyone who said this) do it because I love it rather than as a form of exercise / burning calories, that is just a nice side effect

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 health3 -
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 relaxing3 -
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.3 -
I rock climb
sometimes just do a bit of bouldering. It uses every muscle in the body and burns a super amount of calories It's great fun too 2 -

Haha you beat me to it. Although I don't know about a full day session. After tens plus years and a young family I'm lucky to get the odd tabata session
(and unfortunately I mean odd as in not very often not odd as in kinky and adventurous )

Nordic skiing, cycling, swimming in lakes, climbing and scrambling, hiking and backpacking.1

I like long walks in a park beating a white ball (repeatedly) with a stick.4
-
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.2

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.1 -
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.2

Hikings my go to activity. I live on the edge of the peak district so i can get out there most days of the week3
-
Roller Skating! I really love it on adult night. No little kids falling all over the place. Just big adults.9
-
Mountain biking and kayaking mostly.
Use to enjoy hiking in the summer but my hiking friend moved to Texas.1 -
Playing drums.
Believe it or not the fit bit goes ballistic with all the leg and arm movement. 3 hour show burns about 700 calories
not counting to the load in and out.5 -
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.4
-
Skiing
An uphill climb
Tennis or any other competitive sport2 -
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.1 -
Snorkeling!

I don't really do much that burns a high amount of calories. If I were, I really like beach volley ball, badminton, hiking.1
-
Sprints.
Dancing about like Iggy Pop on a sugar high rampage.3 -
Rowing on water is my favorite, no question.3
-
Lifting is fun for me. The laughs at the gym definitely help matters.3

i don't do any kind of exercising for 'fun'. that's not as joyless as it sounds, because i really like the two things that i do. but my free time is spent on other things that i enjoy, like reading.2
