It's not because I am lazy, it's because I get easily bored with repetitive activities. I wish I was good at sports (like basketball or football) but I have a phobia for flying balls (I REALLY get scared of balls) so I guess that's not an option. Besides, my coordination skills are really, really bad. </p> <p>I walk a lot but I don't consider it exercising, just commuting from place to place (no cars in my life, only public transport). </p> <p>I have recently started swimming in the small pool we have at home (shared with other families). I have decided that if I am able to stick to it, I will join a gym in September/October, because I do think it would be a great sport for me (light on the body joints, good for the back, relaxing and not timed). For some reason I get anxious over chronometers, so I prefer to decide how many times I will swim from one side to the other than timing myself. And I don't get bored! I am also learning to swim well in the process, and so far I am progressing (even if slowly). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitness-question/page/2#post-980980 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 19:45:05 +0000 Anonymous 980980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Swimming, walking, dancing, yoga.&nbsp; In that order. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitness-question/page/2#post-980813 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 16:08:06 +0000 saraj23 980813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally prefer workout DVDs.&nbsp; I find working out in the comfort of my home to be a lot easier and can get a workout in on my own time.&nbsp; I have recently been doing the<span><a href="http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/focus-t25-workout.do" rel="nofollow"> Focus T25</a> and love that I can get a high intensity workout in 25 minutes. It is a fairly new product by the makers of Insanity and P90X. &nbsp;I love working out in the mornings before work because it gives me energy throughout the workday.&nbsp; I usually would go to the gym for an hour before work, but I don’t like waking up earlier than I have to so getting a 25 minute workout in fits perfect in my schedule. After work if I have time I like to do yoga which helps me release any bad energy I had from the day and work on my flexibility. </span></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitness-question/page/2#post-974534 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:56:03 +0000 Laurinda 974534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>30 minutes of intense body-weight resistance exercise.<br />It is miserable, but over quickly and gives good results.</p> <p>Now I just get bored with anything that is an hour long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitness-question/page/2#post-974225 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 03:44:57 +0000 Debbie 974225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to admit exercise is not my favorite thing.

Followed closely by biking and swimming. I supplement with weight training for power and strength, and lots of core work. </p> <p>I used to do a lot of cross country skiing (skate mostly, but classic too) and snowboarding, but about 3 years ago I started to have a lot of trouble with the cold.</p> <p>The most fun I ever had was at an adult beginner ballet class. The teacher was kind of snooty, and I wasn't very good, but I loved the program. I'd love to take social dance classes with DH and learn all the old style couple dances. He travels too much now, but it is on our bucket list! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitness-question/page/2#post-974155 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 02:38:44 +0000 Caro in Oz 974155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five lynne - walking, Pilates &amp; yoga for me.

For me,&nbsp;variety is the key to avoid injury and boredom. I have a vast library of exercise DVDs -- I prefer American DVDs over British ones (I haven't found tough enough&nbsp;British ones yet). I love&nbsp;Cathe, Rushfit, Tracy Anderson, Steve Cotter, lots of Beachbody DVDs, etc etc etc. I have&nbsp;a treadmill, an exercise bike and assorted other equipment. I prefer working out at home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitness-question/page/2#post-973841 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 22:18:27 +0000 Beth Ann 973841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hiking, biking, slow running, and fun, safe crossfit style workouts that alternate burst of cardio with strength work.&nbsp; When I have access to a gym, I love to use TRX, and I try to keep supple with a&nbsp; little yoga. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitness-question/page/2#post-973741 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 21:14:29 +0000 Inge 973741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another walker here:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitness-question#post-973636 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 19:44:55 +0000 rachylou 973636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Walking/hiking and weights.

I prefer it in the cold weather. Yes, you are more likely to see me out running in 15 degree weather than 85!&nbsp;</p> <p>I've always enjoyed walking and hiking, and I need to get back into bicycling. I love swimming and have been upping my distance in the last few weeks so I'm now swimming at least a half mile every time I swim (and most recently a mile every other day). I also like yoga but I've gotten away from it recently.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't care much for any kind of machinery workout. I hate the dreadmill but will use it it weather is really bad. Not a big fan of weights either unless I'm working with a trainer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitness-question#post-973598 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 19:12:32 +0000 shedev 973598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>strength training (weights), then running </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitness-question#post-973585 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:54:52 +0000 cciele 973585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weights, MMA-style fitness (no more full contact for me, since my old joints can't handle it!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitness-question#post-973573 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:43:32 +0000 Sara L. 973573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Usually I like to run, but not right now. I have a recumbant exercise bike I've been using lately and going for walks. When not pregnant, I like the exercise bike on days when the weather isn't cooperating for a run. I'll go for the occasional walk or bike ride with the kids for a change of pace. I like to swim but I've never been able to do it consistently. I'm much better at exercise that just requires me to go outside - if I have to go somewhere like a gym, I tend to not do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitness-question#post-973569 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:41:09 +0000 Anonymous 973569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Brenda,&nbsp;I'm another Jessica Smith Youtube fan. &nbsp;Lately I've been doing mostly Jessica Smith Youtube workouts, Firm videos, and live Zumba classes -- so it's a real mix of weights, cardio, and stretching routines. &nbsp;</p> <p>Today's workout will be this <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl45T37IH1g&amp;list=PLe5P3ayTEj7YRUU4a1ANPtx6A1SO8fsia&amp;index=3">Jessica Smith metabolic workout</a> with a step and weights. &nbsp;Tomorrow will be a live Zumba class. &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitness-question#post-973568 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:40:25 +0000 donnat 973568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Running, weight training, yoga.
