    I've started doing pilates, and loving it. Other than that I ride my bike to work and go for walks in the evenings when the weather permits it.

    I really like indoor rock climbing. It is a good workout for my arms, makes me work on my reach, and is also a mental challenge to figure out how to move up the wall will difficult grips, awkward body positioning, or approve productivity. Plus, there are so many route rankings that I can always find a challenge without being stuck and unable to complete anything in the gym.

    Overall it is just really fun and is a great workout.

    A really hot sweaty challenging yoga class with lots of binds, twists and inversions, followed by chilled lavender towels for shivasana.

    Lifting weights and dancing--either Zumba-type workouts or my actual dance classes (which I consider more of a hobby/interest than actual exercise). I actually find these 2 things competing with each other. If I wasn't in 4 dance classes, I'd be in the gym 5-6 days vs 3 total body days, but am busy enough and don't want to give up dance!

    For my mental health, I love going on long walks on nice days. I live within short walking distance to multiple walking paths and forest preserves, and love walking through the neighborhoods by the lake and all the different types of home architecture.

    Hiking is my absolute favorite. I enjoy lifting weights but sometimes I don't want to do it and I have to talk myself into it. I like walking and riding bikes as well.

    A nice hike on a beautiful day, ideally with a friend or two and preferably a dog. Followed up with maple creemees (soft serve ice cream).

    My favorite two exercises are hiking and walking a golf course. Nothing like hiking in the woods.

    My most common exercise is "yanking a chain" as my wife would say -- sounds dirty but it's my Concept2 rower.

    Truthfully, my favorite workout is any one that is completed!

    I do like hiking in the woods in the mountains. I don’t really consider it a “workout”. I just find it enjoyable, physically and mentally.

    I really enjoy trail running, both for the scenery as well as the reduced wear and tear on my 63 year old body parts.

    I also love cycling, doing lots of miles both in training and with friends. Finally, while I'm a mediocre swimmer who slogs through pool laps, I'm very enthusiastic about open water swimming with a wetsuit. Lots more fun.

    My FAVORITE? Dog agility (that thing on tv occasionally with the dogs and the obstacles)

    Hiking, but boxing is a very close second.
