What Exercise is Fun

During the day I turn on the Latin music channel and will stop periodically and salsa dance. It burns the hips oh so good!
 
Brazilian Jujitsu is basically a split off from Jujitsu/Judo. Made famous and spread by the Gracie family, its focus is mainly on grappling (rather than strikes). Never done it myself, but I'd love to learn one day :D

Personally, I love sparring. It's a great feeling knowing you got the upper hand over someone. We alternate kicks and slaps/locks.
 
Honestly I now enjoy running, it's not "oh my god I can't keep going" anymore, it's more like a time when I can clear my mind.

Other than that, I have a road bike that I love to race around town with and I play racquetball.
 
Yay! My BF fixed up my old bike and I bought a new helmet on the weekend. I'm hoping cycling will be my new "just for fun" exercise.

Better get out there before it's cold and icy! Biking is a lot of fun, great way to get in shape
 
For me, it's walking, dancing and table tennis. I enjoy dancing the most, as it doesn't feel like exercise.

Nope...it's HOT here! I live in Oz and yesterday it was 34 degrees! I did go cycling and it was tough! I thought it would be easy. I think the tires need more air...can that make a difference?
 
Silly dancing in my room!

I have a playlist on i-tunes of songs that are good to dance to - Everything from "YMCA" by The Village People to "There's a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis" by Kirsty Macoll to "Yo Ya" by Khaveret and "Crocodile Rock" by Elton John. I just play it and dance and don't worry about looking silly. :party: (I think I look like these smilies here)

Absolutely it can. When I first started biking I was using an old mountain bike. I didn't realize for the longest time that I was riding with really flat tires; when I realized I went out and bought a cheap floor pump that tells me the psi. First inflation my tires were somewhere around 15-20 psi when they should have been over 60. Riding after pumping them up to the required psi made it so much easier and better.

On a road bike it's even more important to keep your tires filled up; they usually say you should have over 100psi (mine is 120).

So my recommendation if you really want to bike a lot: go get a floor pump and check the walls of your tire for the recommended psi!

Okay, thanks. I pumped up the tires yesterday and they did feel better, but I reckon they could still be fuller. The cycling was still tough, I have a lot of hills in my area. I think I'm going to keep the bike for running errands. If I need to go to the local shops, or the post box etc. I'm actually a bit scared on main roads.
 
Just recently we started playing sport on the weekends. Hella fun, and HELLA tiring :D The last two weekends we've played touch football (American), and each time it's taken me a few days to recover :D
 
What I usually do for fun exercise is I have a playlist on my ipod called "dance" and it has dances like the cupid shuffle, mississippi mudslide, casper slide and the hustle and I go in my basement and just dance, its very fun to do dances with steps right in the song
