...well do that workout today!!

For me it's lifting super heavy--specifically deadlift and DB bench press.

Also running and then randomly tossing some intervals in there-- cranking up the speed to 12mph.

Since its my week off of lifting I will throw some intervals into my steady state run--3 of them. (I already did HIIT yesterday so don't want to over exert myself).

    A good run, there are days that I have to push myself out the door but I'm always glad that I didn't succumb to inertia.

    Hmm, I'd have to say all them. There are definitely some, such as hiking and Zumba, that I enjoy more while doing them. And some, such as weights and running, that I enjoy less. But I feel wonderful after doing any of them.

    If I had to pick only one, I'd probably go with running. The feeling after a run really is kind of uniquely satisfying.

    I second the good run thing, especially when the sun is shining and its warm out. Honestly though I love weight lifting more than cardio.

    OH! And kick boxing... especially if I leave my weightlifting gloves on (NERD)

    Turbo Fire High Intensity Workouts; they are not fun but the results and the feeling you get afterwards are worth it!

    Nothing makes me feel better than push-ups and pull-ups. The first time I ever successfully did a pull-up I felt like Superman. :smokin:

    I have a love/hate relationship with weights...only because I'm soooo lazy!

    The workout that makes me feel just wonderful is Spin!!! I haven't been in a while but I'll be going back soon. It really gets me going and it is a great, fun way to burn lots of calories!

    Nothing like a good run. I exercise in the evenings and I always have a better day when I know it's a run day. I'm already in a better mind set even before I start!

    All of the above - running and lifting. BUT ESPECIALLY running stadiums. While I'm running up the stairs I really think I'm about to die... but after it is all said and done, nothing makes me feel like I've really put some work in like those stadium steps.

    SQUATS!!!! X-D

    Last night I did 4x3 @ 135...such weaksauce compared to where I was in undergrad powerlifting lol...but it still felt great! But I like any range. I've done 20-rep squats before....ooooooh the burn! And 100's...do 100 squats (with weight!), take as many rests as you need.

    TurboFire! <3 I adore Chalene, she's such an amazing motivator, and this workout series is just so much fun. My favorite from the Beachbody collection that I have so far! Makes P90X seem soooo boring.
