 What's the most fun way to get in better shape?
Give me some suggestions! I always liked using the Wii Fit, which really only does so much I think. It seems to a take a while to burn a few calories that way, although it is enjoyable and is better than nothing. I think I will try that out tonight for the first time in probably about a year. I love rollerblading, which is usually a pretty good work out, but I don't really enjoy doing that alone. I probably should do some of the normal push ups, sit ups, pull ups, that sort of thing eh? I am afraid to know just how few of each of those I can do anymore! My real problem area seems to be my thighs, whats the best cure for that?

Sex Knew someone would say that! My boyfriend lives 3 hours away and we both work a lot and are on call most weekends so we can't drive 3 hours away from work whenever we feel like it. Don't think that's a feasible solution!

 Re: What's the most fun way to get in better shape?
There's really no fun way to get in shape, if there was everyone would be in shape. The biggest secret is not to work out to get in shape, it's to keep working out afterwards. I think it's more about positive attitude, because to stay in shape is harder work than any job you'll ever have. That's why so many people can't stay in shape. More pressing/ important things avoid you from working out as much as you should, and then people's attitude toward's working out is another hurdle.
Though it sounds like if you do some more things with a lot of people that will make it feel like more of an activity than working out. I used to try a new kind of activity a month. Usually you get a little more sore, and work out different muscles that you've never done before. And if you like it, you can keep enjoying it. I personally tried Yoga, Fencing, Rowing, Kayaking, Hiking, etc all are pretty cool and you can always get a group for that. Beware for fencing though, it may look prissy, but it's probably the most insane workout I've ever done. It's one thing to do crazy work outs, but add 20 pounds of non breathing material and constant stabbings from better opponents, I had like 8 black and blues on my chest, and a cut hand after the first time. But about 2 months into it, it was a lot of fun.

 Re: What's the most fun way to get in better shape?
Well yeah, I would obviously like to get in shape and stay in shape. I never had an issue with that before these last few years, I think because I had a lot more time to just have fun and be a kid. I've never had to really stick to any sort of excercise plan or whatever, because I was always naturally active. Always playing football, playing hide and seek (believe it or not that can be quite exhausting when you're play area is a whole city block), skating, etc. I made the mistake of moving half an hour away from the city, where everyone else I know lives. So I'm very isolated, out in the middle of nowhere all alone! And it doesn't help that even when I don't go straight home from work, all my friends and family have jobs just like I do and schedules never seem to work out as far as having time to do something fun and active together. So I guess what I'm getting at is more, what are things that I can do by myself, that aren't a complete borefest? There probably isn't much.

 Re: What's the most fun way to get in better shape?
I run, but I haven't gotten to do as much of that lately because a.) my main running buddy is still recuperating from a trip to the hospital, b.) grading papers for sample unit for my university has taken away much of my free time, and c.) I've just been plain lazy in the free time I do have. It's fun, and if you enjoy it, you can get really caught up in it. I hadn't done much before October 2011, but then last summer, I was out for a 3-4-mile run almost every single day.

 Re: What's the most fun way to get in better shape?
I don't like running in public. I probably run funny and I feel as though I should be holding my boobs still the whole time so they don't jiggle around too much. Being a girl is lame sometimes.

But if you all insist, maybe I will try this running thing. With duct tape.

I don't think there are masses of pervs waiting for you to run past them to watch them jiggle  It's just running...

 Re: What's the most fun way to get in better shape?
Oh it's not the pervs I'm worried about. It's just the awkward feeling itself. I'm just weird about boobs I think. Apparently it's weird to sleep with a bra on to a lot of women, but I always do. Don't like the feeling of them flopping around freely. But maybe attempting this running thing will help me get used to that? Perhaps we shall see.

 Re: What's the most fun way to get in better shape?
Haha, maybe sometimes! I have found that boobs get in the way a lot more than you would think. And mine are pretty average size. I hate to think of what women with huge boobs go through. A lot of shirts are made to where they don't fit correctly if you actually have boobs, which is retarded. And then sometimes when I play pool, it's hard to aim because my boobs get in the way. I maintain that is the reason I am terrible at pool.
Anyone ever tried the super hula hoop thing on the wii fit? Or maybe that one is only on wii fit plus. Whichever one it is, it totally kicks my ass! I think I try too hard to beat my high score and pretty much kill myself in the process.
