    Hiking with the dog - he keeps me laughing with his craziness on the trails. Preferably in the mountains or at the river.

    Dancing of any kind

    And this last one is new, and nuts because it's a huge challenge for me right now - but manmakers. They're hard. They're full body and I haven't mastered them yet, so I'm obsessed.

    Theres actually not a whole lot that i enjoy, which is probably bad

    I love soccer (duh) but there are no leagues around here now

    I defintieyl enjoy going for walks and listening to audiobooks when i do so, but I dont really consider that exercise enough

    I enjoy the social aspects of running (ie post race beer) but not particularly the actual running part :)

    Think its time to break out the weighted hula hoop and see if i cant have some fun with that!

    Mine are:

    1) Pilates
    2) Squash - although I'm not very good but I do love it!
    3) Dancing
    4) NYC Ballet workout (they started teaching it where I do Pilates)
    5) EA Active Sports for PS3

    I would rather drown myself in the Thames than go to the gym!

    Have you ever noticed that the word "Pilates" looks exactly like the word "Pirates" when you're reading quickly?

    Pirate Pilates = contorting into odd positions with a parrot on your shoulder.

    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:

    lol!

    I LOVE lifting weights, I LIKE pushing myself in running, always further or faster.... I love a night out dancing, walking everywhere, and circuit training. Although I did make myself do 100 burpies in a workout once and I wanted to die at the end. Or kill someone. Maybe both?

    100 burpies? That's better than 100 farties, I guess.

    I'm sure everyone on this string would ABSOLUTELY agree that me, in "sexy heels" would be a terrible, terrible thing.
