I do hit the gym occasionally..but I loath fitness equipment in general, and wouldn't purchase a workout vid (since I don't have tv...haha).

My fave fitness activities include:
Running\
Hiking
Climbing
Rowing

I'd like to know if there are others here who don't need/use "tech" to get thier exercise on!

    You're missing resistance training!

    My workouts are 100% gym free. I do:

    Running
    Biking
    Jumping rope.
    Pushups, situps/crunches, squats, lunges, leg raises, pullups, chinups, planks, and other body-weight exercises.

    I want to start swimming one of these days, but I only have a pool available to me memorial day through labor day.

    Jumping Rope
    Hula Hooping (they make weighted hula-hoops that really work your core)
    What about team sports? Join a softball, soccer, or basketball league. I practice soccer with my daughter and it is a great workout.
    Golf, driving range

    Me too!

    I don't mind lifting some weights at home, but I can't stand to do any sort of cardio on a machine. I much prefer to go running or biking or hiking. I'm actually thinking of starting to play some ultimate frisbee in a park near my house.

    I totally agree that climbing is an excellent total body workout. It's actually my favorite workout in general.

    I agree! The gym is somewhere I go when the weather is awful. Otherwise, I like to exercise outside. I especially love hiking.

    I rarely use the gym, actually I haven't used it all summer! The weather is perfect for exercising outside. I do weight training at home too, then I am not waiting to use the weights :wink:

    I do have a fitness DVD - Davina one. But I tend to dip in and out of that now. And I have a yoga DVD which I love. I occassionally go to a class but I like to do yoga a few times a week and classes can be expensive if you want to go more than once a week.

    I will probably use the gym more during winter, I run at 6.30am! So it gets pretty cold! Lol

    Sometimes I think my gym membership is a waste...I am considering getting rid of it, but am going to hold on to to through winter and see how much I use it.

    I sooooo miss outside.... Normally, I bike, walk, jog, swim, and hike, but this summer has been awful. I live in TX. It's insanely hot, staying in the 90's even overnight. Due to drought, all lakes are low, nearly dry, and water restrictrions have forced pools to close. I never thought I'd want summer to end. I've had to break down and buy some workout dvd's. They're fun, but I can't wait to get back out there!
