Favorite exercise?

I know many people like different exercise, and basically exercise is a matter of choice. In fact, for someone to continuously do an exercise, they have to love it. What works for you?

I teach group exercise classes about 8 times a week....my favorite kind of classes to teach are cardiokickboxing, boot camp style and circuit classes. My #1 fave class to teach ( and take) is Spinning!
I have been taking Zumba for a few months now and love it--I am not a good dancer, but this class is very good.

I am now running several times a week--getting ready for a 25k this spring.

I've never taken a spin class, but heard great things about them.

Good luck with your 25K in the spring. I'm hoping to do a marathon in the spring, but I'm a little off my training schedule. I'll have to see how the next month goes.....................:)

My favorite workout is Spinning. Man, I feel so accomplished after a class. And I love when the back of my legs (all the way up to my glutes) are a little sore. My favorite exercise is walking lunges. Same thing, I love feeling the tinge of soreness because that tells me I am working that muscle. Especially since I am trying to firm up my backside.

I really enjoy kickboxing or karate moves. I love the way that they work the entire body, including the abs. I have so many folks ask me how to work on their abs and I swear by Turbo Jam, which uses a ton of standing ab moves and not the traditional crunches.

I also love yoga to build strength and flexibility. It really helps to prevent injury too.

My number one choice is Spinning. I can teach for ever and I prefer to teach more than I like taking classes because I get all motivated and sometimes come close to taking over the class, LOL. Secondly, I like strength training and then Pilates.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

I am basically coming back into a workout routine. I would first like to say I have medical clearance from my doctors. I have been serious ill for almost 2 or better years. I am morbitly obese. I wasn't always this way. after my son was killed I put on 200 or more pounds of hbp, asmtha, diabetes, chf, sleep apnea, much more.
Yes I have medical clearance. My son has been gone for 16 years. I think its time I start living. So today I walked 500 steps. I used to be so active. I love swimming, dancing, joining contest, I was in the biggest loser contest. I love Karate took that one semester in collge loved it. OK I'M READY!
I'M SO EXCITED

Kelly, I'm sorry to hear about your son, but I'm very happy you've decided to take the next steps to increasing your activity.

Congratulations on your 500 steps!! That's great.

Personally, I like the free body weight exercises done in a circuit routine. I get the benefits of cardiovascular conditioning while also improving strength, flexibility, balance and coordination. I feel it keeps me in peak performance condition and in better shape than most guys half my age.
