    Country dancing?

    Nothing good can come from country dancing.

    If you dance backwards you can get your wife back, your car back, your dog back.... :wink:

    ahhaaha too true.
    I've done line dancing which is actually really fun. And I don't even like country music

    If you play country music backwards, you get pregnant and your trailer explodes. True fact.

    Dudes don't do "catch up walks with friends." We can actually have our ManCard revoked for such a thing.

    I've recently discovered cycling - loving getting outside and exploring.
    I also love walking/hiking - again getting outside and exploring.
    Kickboxing/boxercise classes - I used to love the kickboxing centre in my old town....need to find an affordable one in my new town!

    I can think of nothing worse than going to the gym, sitting on a machine for an hour while staring at a grey wall/other sweaty folks is just hell so I refuse to go! Cancelled my membership 2years ago and never looked back.

    Love love love ultimate frisbee!! By far my favorite activity, and a fantastic workout!

    Had a really active day yesterday...played ultimate frisbee, boxed with a couple friends (friendly boxing...not actually trying to knock each other out haha but def worked up a sweat) and tossed around a football. You know, it's really no wonder that most of my friends growing up have always been guys...

    I also really enjoy a good core/arm workout (but I loathe leg workouts!! which is why I run around with frisbees :smile: )

    Lets see...

    Dance Central (kinect)
    Weight Lifting
    Roller Skating
    Running
    walking around the city (we have hella steep hills here, so its always a workout.)

    I love swimming, but public pools gross me out and its so cold here usually, that nobody has a pool except the super rich and hotels or gyms. SO thats out.

    On the other hand, if you put me on a treadmill, I'm ready to throw myself under a bus within 5 minutes.

    Same here. I live in a beach community. I can do laps back and forth on the pier for an hour and a half and never get tired of the view. But when the weather is bad and I HAVE to go to the gym - I just don't have the same drive.
