    Running. Nothing else compares.

    Swimming does it for me. Love to just do laps for a couple of hours, the isolation and repetitive nature allows me to free my mind to just free associate and the solutions to problems just pop into my head. If I cannot swim I'll walk 15 to 20 kms a day.

    Dumbell routines for strength and some simple yoga stretches for flexibility.

    I like being outside, so hiking when I've a whole weekend free and running as part of my schedule. Don't care if it's raining, out I go! I get wet in the shower afterwards anyway so no problem. And I don't have hundreds of pounds for running gear, so cheap it is.

    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:

    I don't need a gym membership, I don't have to pay a class fee, and I don't *have* to pay for registration for races if I don't race. I need shoes anyway, and wear normal clothes. So, yeah, as exercise goes, it's cheap.

    Edited to quote the correct post.

    Sorry for having a sense of humour.... :huh:

    Crossfit and running. These have given me the fitness to hike, snowboard and take on the world and tackle anything. Yoga to unwind. Netball for social team sport

    Favs? Walking (outside, lonnnnggggg) walks and boxing. I'm working on trying to *like* strength/weight lifting more. I know it's good for me, but I still don't love it just yet.

    Lifting heavy things. Rowing. Swimming. Cycling. I have run in the past, but I have come to terms with the fact that my strength is not running (achilles tendonitis and shin splint issues).

    Running, cycling, golf, swimming, kayaking.
    Currently on hiatus from all of them :( while I recover from surgery and gradually increase activity. Right now, long walks to get outside.

    swimming
    squash
    lifting
    walking - I do love walking in general - but working out wise, I prefer the above :)
    running - I like this more than I ever thought I would but I have to coerce myself into possibly beating a time or something to get myself doing it!

    Playing basketball with my husband. We play in our driveway so not only does he challenge me to play harder, I also enjoy being outside and getting some Vitamin D every day. I also enjoy the Xhit videos on Youtube for some strength training.
