in Fitness and 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.

    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. :)

    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 workout

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

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

    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.

    Shoveling snow while it is still falling and is absorbing sound so that hushed world sound predominates. For the win! If conditions were right I’d do it every night for the fun of it!
