He's still in the workforce and does manual labor, so getting him to do any physical exercise outside of work would be pushing it as he gets tired with working. LizzieAnn

I have a home gym, an elliptical trainer, free weights, and all of the Richard Simmons "Sweating to the Oldies" tapes. And one of these days I am going to start up using them again

I think I still have my Richard Simmons tapes too, but not sure I have a VCR to play them.

I like walking. I love to dance. I have taken ballroom dancing and belly dancing - which I hope to continue doing.

I have a gym at my work and take some of the classes as well.

Hello
I hate to exercise only when I know I'm exercising (like running on a treadmill, etc.)

Recently, I have been using the eliptical machine, riding my bike, playing sports, and walking outdoors.

Oooh, the horse riding sounds nice and relaxing! And belly dancing, hmm, now that is awesome! Don't think i could do that lol lol

I like lifting.

A glass of wine.

Sorta like JL I alternate between lifting a glass of wine and coffee. Right hand wine - left hand coffee and then a few neck exercises.

Steve is my kinda sportsman!

I truly admire his ingenuity in figuring out how to exercise 3 parts of the anatomy at the same time. Pure genius.

Barb I just started a pillates/yoga class. Surprising it is great! I feel so good afterwards. I took bellydancing last year, it is pretty de-motivating not to be able to get your coin skirt to jingle or compare your jingle to others . Amazing how much work it is.

Coin skirt to jingle...hmmm, for sure me and belling dancing won't work out then!!! lol Dont think mine would jingle either lol

Definately running. It's just been WAY to hot in southern California to do it!
But come winter, i'll definately be working my way up again. :]
Other than that I like swimming, but our pool has been drained for years.. so none of that for the time being lol.

wow, MRO you never cease to suprise me LOL, and I am very similar to JL and Steve--mine is Beer in Right, Wine in left and a diet coke chaser in the morning.....but every day I get a min of 2 hours outside activity with the boys...we play football, badmitton, baseball, basketball, bike, walk and in the winter it is sledding, skating, snowboarding,etc etc and I am fully envolved in these w/them {thank god I have young kids or I would have the beer gut from H#%*}.
People who have the discipline to exercise regulary just amaze me, I have tried pillates, yogo, arobics, etc I just dont have the stick to itness???

Damn, I hate it when a long post disappears..........

I've actually used to be active all of my life (in addition to, but not in lieu of the arm-exercises).

I used to hike and camp and explore waterfalls.

Ride and train horses.

But I have to admit that I've never been such a disciniplinarian that I've applied myself to exercise that I find boring. Such as jogging. And working out on exercise equipment.

But due to balance issues (which will only get worse, not better) - and due to fracturing my ankle (which seems to have left me with a permanent and pronounced limp) - about the only thing I used to enjoy that I have hopes to continue to enjoy, is deep-sea fishing. On a big ol'boat.

I'm hoping to get some safe and gentle and gradual exercise, here at my new apartment complex.
