It's that day again, STalkers!

What's your favorite kind of exercise? The one that doesn't FEEL like exercise?

I luuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrv to swim (and hate to sweat!). When I'm in the water, I can FEEL the stress and tension and bad vibes flowing out of my fingertips with every stroke. I am simultaneoulsy invigorated and soothed. Best part? If I'm sweating, I can't tell!

Walking - I love to walk - especially around a neighborhood.  You see 10x more than when you drive past.  Part of the reason I bought our current home is that we are on a walking path around a small lake a park.

BUT - now with my leg issue I can no longer walk.

Swimming and pull-ups and throwing tires!!! They just feel so much more productive! An di'm a sweaty disgusting mess... I love it when my muscles get sore though.. It's a good soreness... Less pain... It feels like acocmplishment to me. LMAO

So much! If I ever get a few spare hundred dollars I'm buying one for the house... I'll keep it in the garage and go out there and beat it up...

I like walks and swimming (but no access to a pool boooo!) and like workout videos that are dance focused too.  But, I also like the strength training ones where I can feel my body getting stronger!

I'd say biking as I bike almost every day - but my commute IS exercise and involves a lot of hills and a lot of sweat.  However, I went mountain biking the other day and it was just pure FUN!  Even though I was sweaty and covered in dirt at the end.  SO FUN!

Also yoga - I don't always do easy stretching and often get into over-and hour long sessions that get the sweat flowing but by the end, I'm always relaxed, not like I exercised at all.

Find a good beginner class with an instructor you like.  If you dislike the instructor, it won't be producive.  Then, go in with zero expecations.  It's not a competitive sport.

Biggrin
