Favorite ‘non exercise’ exercise

I like to move and do stuff, but hate thinking of it as exercise. I’m looking for fun things that you do that burn calories, but you don’t necessarily think of as exercise.
I’ll start:
I like to hike, especially where there are nice views. And I enjoy skating. Both roller and ice.

Shopping!! Swimming, dog walking, or when I worked in a restaurant and was on my feet I stayed moving and it was fun1

Cycling!
Also walking ... I walk to run errands or go to the Botanical gardens or to take a look at the newest cruise ship to pull into port or whatever at lunch. Doesn't feel like exercise but it does feel like a nice break from work.1 -

Dance around my house like an idiot to loud music. A few weeks ago I decided to put on my HRM and track during my dance session and holy moly 200 calories burned in 20 min!10

Ditto this. I rock out hard for about an hour. Solo dance parties for the win!

I love kayaking - you get to chill out on the water, hand out with some amazing animals and before you know it, you've had a pretty good upper body and core workout2

I enjoy ice skating, tennis, rollerblading and playing beach volleyball.
Shopping and trying on new clothes is a fun way to burn some calories...and I burnt a lot yesterday.
A nice stroll with my hubby is always great, as is playing and walking with our very energetic puppy is fun too!5 -
Welllll . . . I log on-water rowing as exercise, but I do it 'cos it's fun.3

Some people wouldn't think it is fun but I enjoy hanging my clothes on the clothesline to dry. I don't log it but it burns more calories than throwing clothes in a dryer next to the washing machine.

Shoveling snow. Much more fun when it's sunny and mild. Sleet and sub zero days, not so fun.2

Golf, but you have to walk the course. Don't have to carry but must walk.1

Biking, road or mountain, hiking, skiing.0

Skiing. If I wear my Garmin when I'm doing it, it comes across here as a workout. But I don't really think of it as a workout.0
