    My favorite is swimming freestyle at a decent clip for 60 year old for 50 minutes. Do not take much time on your turns.

    Zumba wins this survey every time!! :) Depending on the teacher it can vary in levels of awesomeness, but it still pretty much rocks. Instead of fighting with myself to go to the gym, i can't wait until the next class. It's the only thing i ever go to at a set time that i am ever on time for. lol

    Yay walking!

    I love to walk. I'd rather walk for an hour than run/bike/whatever for 10 minutes. But actual walking, y know, outside. None of thie dvd on the spot or treadmill stuff. That's boring.

    And jumping rope would come second.

    zumba! Especially if you get a good instructor! I have two that I rotate through their classes! I have a HRM and usually burn 700-800 calories per class!

    I prefer to use the elliptical in comparison to the treadmill because it gives your whole body a workout.

    My exercise routine is usually 25-30 minutes of elliptical then weights then treadmill for about 5-10 minutes (walking/jogging).

    But I have heard good things about Zumba as well :)

    I am a runner...through and through....I change up my workouts by doing speed work, or hills. I once was a member at the Y and absolutly loved the stairmaster...not stairclimber. The difference is the Stair master is like a mini escalator... it kicked my butt everytime.

    Biking! At the gym, I get bored easily and only bike 5 or 6 miles when I'm there, but when I'm home in the summers, I try to bike 10-12 miles every other day. I can't bike every day because I broke my tailbone 5 years ago and it only hurts when I sit for extended periods of time. Poopy. I haaaaaaaaaate running so much. I hate how boring it is, I hate how my knees start to die and pop and crack 5 minutes in, and I hate how my boobs have a mind of their own, even when strapped down :(
