My Favorite all time Activity that NEVER feels like a workout is ZUMBA!~~ There are many forms of Zumba (From Zumba, Zumba Toning, Aqua Zumba, Zumba Step etc..etc.. ) I am a licensed instructor in every Zumba Format, and to me its an HOUR of FUN!

If you loved to Dance, get toned, Be in the Water (Aqua Zumba) etc.. then Zumba is a workout for almost anyone..... There is even ZUMBA Gold which is for Debilitated people (Those who are senior citizens, as well as disabled, in wheelchairs etc...).... So Zumba is really a workout that almost anyone can take part it and have fun with..... It is my "Soul-mate" workout.

(However a close 2nd for me would be POUND FITNESS)...if you've never heard of it, give it a "google" and check it out :)

@PoliteOcean I love Zumba, and indeed it doesn't really feel like exercise. I also did a program called Hip Hop Abs that I loved, Basically, anything that combines dancing with working out is amazing!

Dancing sounds like a fun workout! I also dance in the basement at times, as a form of exercise.

swimming don't feel like exercice because you feel so light in it that its easier than any other exercice.

using an exercice ball instead of a normal chair is great too. it work your equilibre and is exercice, but you dont have this feeling, you keep sit to do your normal routine, such coming on 7cups .

I did Taekwondo for three years and got my black belt and then quit. I finally decided to go back after 3 years after 4 weeks. I quit because it was tough getting my black belt but I always had fun before then. After going back I've noticed and I also remembered that it has always been one of the few exercises that I don't find myself asking how much longer is left because I get very focused on what we are doing.

I think most forms of exercise feel like exercise, but I do think those can be fun.

Activities that seem less like exercise for me are shopping, running errands, taking care of kids, etc.

I love being outside, so for me walking dogs or even hiking a light trail doesn't feel like I'm actually exercising. Also, going to the skating rink is so much fun I forget how good it is for your health!!

@TakeAStandAgainstBullying Walking in new places... exploring... gets your mind so engaged you don't even realize how far you've gone. Dancing as well, just because of the fun of it and how your mind is engaged in learning. :)
