Dancing foolishly around my house. Rollerskating a bit with my Sister. Bicycling someplace fun. Walking my little dog. :)

Lifting weights/resistance training. So many women are intimidated by weights but you really can be strong and beautiful. Strong does not necessarily equate to big. I love the look and power of a healthy well toned physique. The high after a good, intense training session is the best. It also encourages you to eat well. Due to bad knees, I am an ex-runner. But the high (known as runners high) is one I have not been able to replace. Maybe spinning.

I love yoga as well...I don't make it to a studio much so I use DVD's as well. Rodney Yee is beautiful to watch, his couples yoga with his wife is a really nice way to connect with my man. Also for a little more fun I love the Yoga Booty Ballet DvD's with Gillian and Teigh. The Burlesque one is super fun, a great mix of dance, core and yoga.
In Maui this year I met a wonderful Yogi names Ava and she has the best yoga website at hathayoglesson.com . It explains lots of techniques for all levels, she also offers online lessons. I plan on doing a yoga feature soon, it's in the works... www.snickerdoodles.typepad.com

Until about 6 months ago, I would have said distance running - doing a long run at a steady pace set me straight and gave me the endorphin rush that I needed. However, I have switched to a different type of running, more intense, less time consuming. I now run for no more than 20 minutes in 1 minute sprints, 1 minute recovery - so incredibly intense during the time I'm sprinting that all I can experience is the moment and nothing else. I love it and the feeling of total satisfaction and relief when I am done stays with me the whole day. It is totally addictive!

When it comes to exercise, I am a "cherry picker." Varying what I do gives me greater results. However, I must work up a sweat to feel any accomplishment. To do so, I might spend time on an eliptical while reading; or, I might run along a path while listening to a lecture on my iPod; or, I might enjoy a hike up the mountain with my family; or, I might gather with friends for a guided aerobics class. And, yes, I usually multitask to get more of what I desire from the unforgiving minute... always finding a sense of joy in body and in spirit.

I'm a golf addict and through the season I start to jones for it if I'm not out at least once a week. But for a more active workout though my favourite has to be Beach Volleyball. I get to enjoy the being outside (although I still enjoy my indoor league during the fall and winter), it's a social outlet and all that running and jumping in the sand helps keep me fit.

Absolutely running...running as free as the wind. It's even better when it's cold outside.

Yoga with fiance, running on the beach with the dog, gardening with the cats and the dog... these allow me to give thanks to myself, the beautiful world in which I live and those that I share my life with.

My favourite exercise is when I walk and hike. I forget the effort and the burning of calories and enjoy the scenery.

I have a fantasy of training to be a boxer. Not be a boxer but do the sweaty skip rope pummeling. Let me know how it goes Chuck!

"exercise traditions" I love this! Although in our family that tradition might lead to massive injuries!

Boxing. I love the physical and mental challenge of pushing myself with my trainer and friends in the gym. I'm even thinking of doing an amateur fight - just for fun! And the release and satisfaction from a few good rounds on the bags - somehow, the stresses of the day become very distant.

Walking. Walking alone, preferably in a park, or in a neighborhood where there are flower beds in the front yards -- the presence of green and colorful growing things restores me. When I'm walking, I get back into myself, and I do some of my best thinking -- a morning walk brings me home invigorated and filled with dialogue/plot movement for my novel that must be written down.

I hardly ever take walks like that any more -- too afraid of West Nile mosquitoes, and unable to use repellant -- as I've been thinking about walking today, I realize how very much I miss it. My writing misses it, too.
