    I like the gym & lifting but...I have a cycling route I go on occasionally that has a long steady climb & an insanely steep decent that makes the climb worth it. It's like 50MPH on a bike crazy. I took a buddy on it last summer & he will not do it again.

    Rollerblading.
    Cranking up music and dancing/dance aerobics.
    Trampoline.
    Hiking/walking in nature.

    I used to love swimming. I don't like pools with too much chlorine and kids, only 3 feet tall, etc nowdays and lakes are so dirty these days. If I had a sea salt mineral pool in my own backyard in a warm place, I would love it!

    Fun... Workout? Man, who told you workouts are supposed to be fun? They was lying to you, they are supposed to be hard work... Workout... :P

    for me anything that involves a second party... I hate doing anything alone, but that is my life...always alone :/

    my favorite workout

    front squats
    overhead squats
    goblet squats
    then finish off with some pullups

    your legs and core are toast after, but it feels great.

    I love kickboxing. Put on those boxing gloves and punch the stress away! I also love planks, pushups and interval training. Squat jumps, burpees, mountain climbers with strength moves in between! All good!

    Racquetball at least once a week makes the rest of the time in the gym doing cardio worth it.

    Oh so many good answers here! In no particular order:

    1. Kickboxing - I love to kick the crap out of stuff
    2. Squats / Strength Training - I like being strong enough to kick the crap out of stuff
    3. A nice long walk with my dog
    4. Doing the occasional "at-home" triathlon - 30 minute swim, 20K bike ride, 5K walk/jog

    Classical ballet!

    I really love it! And especially pointe class. It's a really good strength-workout. Less cardio though. I love the music and the steps and the uniforms and performing and... Ah well, it's just great.

    One of my fun ones is basically a combo of some of yours. I do one minute of rope jumping, followed by one minute of burpees, followed by one minute of wall ball (youtube it). Sometimes I add in 1 minute of medicine ball pushups or russian twists with the ball, but it gets crowded and I don't get enough rope or burpees. I get 15 secs rest in between exercises.

    I'll second hula hooping! And anything else in the flow arts - spinning poi, staff, fans, flow wand all get me moving until I can barely breath.

    Also, aerial yoga. I could never get into yoga (too slow, too boring) but anything that lets me hang upside down and make monkey noises ain't boring. And it is a great upper arms and core workout.

    complexes!

    i love using 1 piece of equipment, 1 weight for a a series of exercises. the complexes i do usually involve 5-8 exercises that i do one after the other. then i rest, catch my breath, ask myself why the hell am i doing it and then go back again for more.

    it's fun because i time myself and besides that, i look like a freaking BOSS in the weight room :happy:

    Tennis with my hubby. We are terrible and don't play by the rules. We basically just see how many times we can hit it back and forth. But it's a great cardio burn! Even more so than if we did play by the rules, because we are running all over the place.

    Swimming
    Golf can be a good calorie burn if you don't use a cart!
    Walking
