Here's what our readers are saying:

Walking on wilderness trail - love the sites, smells and sounds of nature.

Kayaking on my hometown lake. I love the workout going up into the headwaters! Just not so happy over the workout trying to empty it after we flipped and swamped it in the fast current! With no beaches near we had to do it in waist high water! I think I burned a couple extra calories on that trip! :-)

Running! also there is a sled hill on the route that i run. i always try to make it up and down that thing 3 or 4 times. Really gets my heart rate up.

Whitney O.
Swimming in the ocean. The waves are constantly changing and it feels great all over :)

Susan H.
Love walking...the earth plays music to those who listen. It's great turning off the mind, and listening to the music.

Loretta W.
Hiking. It can be 100 degrees, but once you are in an area dense w/ trees, it's much cooler. And it's usually very quiet :)

Walking -- you can go as far and as fast as you like, and it's easier on your knees and joints. Walking allows you to soak up more of the beautiful scenery as well! : )

Darlene T.
The amusement park- You don't realize how much walking you are actually doing and when I ride the coasters, I always have my abs tucked in like sit-ups LOL

Karen B.
Walking 7 miles. Mostly hills. It really clears my mind and relaxes me.

Lisa S.
Hiking the mountains of South Carolina! ;D

Tina B.
Walking..because I love to look at different scenery while enjoying my tunes, tennis...running & smacking that ball right at you :)...bike riding & swimming in the ocean!!

Anne L.
Walking, bike riding, swimming in the complex pool...but my absolute favorite is running after my granddaughter on the playground. (and swinging with her, and sliding down the big slide....)
