I probably ought to do more exercise. What should I do?

(Gym is not an acceptable answer for the purposes of this question)

Climb!

[cjholding.livejournal.com]

I used to climb when I was in Oxford, but you need someone to go with bouldering gets boring very quickly. It's good exercise though :)

I cycle to and from work, so was hoping for something else :-)

Do you want a team sport, or a more individual thing? martial arts tend to be quite good for all-round fitness, for example.

[brrm.livejournal.com]

Probably individual.

[emperor]

I suggest folding-people-into-amusing-shapes, then.

[pjc50.livejournal.com]

I should get back to that. It was fun.

Walk!

Move house or job so you have a longer commute.

Or he could adjust his brakes so they drag on the rim, switch to a less aero riding posture, buy extra-heavy parts, use high rolling resistance tyres...

Dancemat or Perch

Get a dancemat but close your curtains, or make the Perch your regular...

Learn massage as a way to persuade your SO into more frequent sex. It's fantastic cardiovascular exercise :)

Or, try something completely alien to your basic nature, like horse riding, to see what effect it has on you.

More exercise.

Karate works for me.

Squash

[blog.jimbo.org.uk. (from livejournal.com)]

As of yesterday, Binky and I have taken up playing squash once a week.

As of today, I ache. So it *must* be good for me!

I suggested Art did that too, particularly as JDS plays.

Swim.

[gagravarr.livejournal.com]

I'd vote for swimming too

The uni pool is really nice, and Iffley Road really isn't that far

Plus, the pool is colder than normal ones (racing temperature), so you can't just stand about chatting. It's just the right temp for swimming though :)

Dance Dance Revolution ;p

Taking up drums is quite a good workout too, but generally not good for the domestic situation!

(a) run, or (b) dance.
