I enjoyed doing aerial silks, like the singer Pink does. It gave me a great workout and it wasn't boring! Does anyone have activities they've done outside the realm of running or going to the gym?

    Most of my at home workouts involve using sandbags and the DVRT system.

    Does gardening count?

    I know I get a workout from gardening. But I wind up killing everything!

    Rowing boats, the long skinny ones like in the Olympics (only mine is slower ;) ).

    I primarily cycle...don't know if that's traditional or not...but it's both exercise and hobby/recreation for me. I also like to do a little rock climbing and hiking in the mountains.

    The only thing I do in the gym is lift...

    I cannot say it is my FAVORITE alternative exercise, but it takes me about 40 minutes to vacuum my entire house and I am sweating buckets by the time I am finished!
