I love getting outside playing sports with my kids, it gets my heart rate going and as a family we are getting healthy plus spending time together.

[StubbsyR]

I walk approximately 15 km each day and need an accurate means of tracking my fitness and the health benefits.

[Rhiannon93]

My favourite exercise is a sit-up because it feels like accomplishment when I finish a few sets. 

[rangitamoe]

Boxercise. You get the fitness of a physical workout and the satisfaction of punching the snot out of something

[Manpreet90]

Burpeeessssss, that 1 exercise works on your whole body!

[Btastic]

Does sexercise count, coz that's my exercise!

[mslater92]

Bushwalking! Great easy way to spend time with people you love, take in some nature, and feel great.

[Woollysmum]

Exercise - what do you mean I need a favourite? I hate it all equally!

[lance0226]

Studying is not my hobby but I have to complete the CA program and I feel stressful due to insufficient preparation. 

Hopefully I can pass the exam and become a Chartered Accountant soon. 

Thanks for all support and love.

[Slatapri]

I like to start out with a brisk walk with intervals of jogging to get the heart rate up. I only used to workout on the treadmill but after doing a few walks outside I was converted - the fresh air, sights and pushing myself harder. With the treadmill I would get off when I "felt" done..... by walking outside you can't just give up when you have to get back home. 

[Popo1]

Pokémon Go. I get to chat with my kids and people in my neighborhood thanks to my 4 Optus SIMs!

[Hawko]

Pressing the snooze button on my alarm is really good for stretching. I make sure to swap arms to ensure I am building strength equally!

Dancing because it doesn’t feel like exercise at all

[Georgia7]

I'm all for dancing. There is nothing better than waking up and feeling the burn in your thighs because you dropped it so low all night long. 

[Nymph]

 Riding my bike along the many bike track's near where we live. Each time we go its quite an adventure and its a great way to bond and get away from the technologly that can isolate us at times without meaning to.

[meinekleineigel]

My way to and from work is my favorite exercise!  A total of 35 mins walking each day and I just realised I have been doing this for a year now!! Yipee!!

My favourite exercise is running very early morning with the added fear that someone is possibly chasing me or any car passing by creates my suspicion  - to the point a try to memorise the number plates!
