My favorite is walking. Whether I'm doing it on the treadmill while reading a book or watching the television or my very favorite out with the family on a walk. It is the lowest impact on my knees and enjoyable to get out with the kids.

Like Donna, I prefer walking, preferably in our small town's park, which has a duck pond and a meandering path shaded by huge oak trees ... once over the path and twice around the pond, at a brisk pace, takes 30 minutes. But treadmills are good, too, and my new gym has a bunch of 'em.

Playing tennis is by far my favorite. Why is my favorite.... hmm, I guess it's just fun. Although when I started playing I liked tennis because it was more elegant than other sports.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"

I like running. I just started with it this spring. Did the C25K programme with a couple of other ADBBers and got hooked. Now I find running relatively easy - just putting on shoes and getting out there. When I have finished a run (jog) (5K or 10K), I really feel that I have worked out. I do other things as well and I like them but I tend to procrastinate more with them. But when I go outside with my runners on, I cannot but run.

I'd have to say the elipitical machine because its easier on my feet than running. A good hour at a brisk speed and Im content.

Hands down- Jazzercise. The workouts are thorough, they vary, the music bumps, there's something for everyone and they're just downright fun.

After that- dancing. Any kind of dancing, so long as it makes me break a sweat (and it always does).

Strength training. What's not to love?!

I love yoga! I started doing it 7 years ago as a way to ease te stress of my second back to back pregnancy and have never looked back. It gives me a sense of well being, tones and shapes my body and keeps me flexible

I love working out to my dvd's from Beach Body. I have various series. The music is great. I can do it whenever I want, and noone else around to bumped into And I can wear whatever I want too, and not feel embarassed about bouncing around!

Swimming would be number one. Burns huge calories but you don't perceive it as a hard workout, and easy on joints.

After that I am torn.
