    Running. It's cheap - ish. I do tend to splurge on shoes, though.

    Swimming! Then any water class. Then cycling. I do the bodyweight strength training but I hate every second of it. I envy those of you who enjoy lifting b/c I know I need the strength work but ugh ugh

    I'm enjoying running for it's cheapness(&limited commute) right now, but dancing would be my ideal. :)I am a ballet teacher and I'm going to give some unsolicited advice to the OP: Don't wait to sign up for ballet. Most of it can be modified, and few adult classes make you wear a leotard& tights. Unless you are saving it up as a reward, sign up for a progressive beginner class now, as enrollment should be starting soon for most studios. It's a ton of hard work- you'll really feel it.

    Running is cheap?! :noway: :laugh:

    Yep. Compared to cycling, it's basically free.

    $300 for shoes every year... vs $200 for a bike...

    And yeah, I know you could spend more for a bike, but you can spend more for shoes too..

    For the casual athlete, biking is less expensive.

    I disagree... I don't think you're comparing apples to apples. A "causual athlete" isn't going to go get fitted for shoes and buy 2 pairs of high end shoes each year, but then buy a off-the-floor department store bike. They'll go to a bike shop and get a low end bike, which will probably cost $400-$600 minimum. They are either going to get both target shoes and a target bike, or they're going to get shoes from a running store and a bike from a bike shop.

    100% agree with you. My dad did both and I only run. But I think biking is more costly.

    Running shoes for me at 150 a pair and I get news one about 3 times a year. Biking for my dad was easily 3000 on a bike, and then tire replacements, tools, maintenance on the bike. Sure, the bike lasts a lot longer, but for 3000 dollars I'd have enough shoes for a few years.

    Aside from running, I'm a kettle bell nut. Love snatches and turkish get ups in particular.

    Ugmm, $200 would buy your bike's shoes, aka tires, lol.

    As long as it is OUTSIDE!, biking, roller blading,kangoo jumps, stand up paddle boarding, snowshoeing, skating, ANYTHING, new things every day!

    I see your burns, so I know you go at it hard :smiley:

    I'm somewhat the same although I'm fine with some indoor stuff too.

    Tennis, strength training, walking/golf, running (if my body allows it), rowing, swimming, elliptical, SUPing, kayaking, and aerobic DVDs is my list atm.

    Lol, certainly not for me it isn't £100 for new trainers every 3-4 months (have 2 pairs in rotation), running clothes (constantly replacing as I lose weight), race entries.....

    Um ... you'd be hard pressed to find a decent bicycle for $200. :) Entry level is about $700.
