Because exercise is a celebration and not a punishment: what's your favorite active hobby?

Personally, mine is yoga. I've been doing yoga on and off since I was a teenager and the yoga gains are REAL. It helps me get within myself, it's meditative, it's a better way to unwind after work than Happy Hour, and flexibility and muscle growth are side effects.

I'm also partial to swimming, especially since the weather's nice. Sometimes my husband and I meet at the Y to swim laps, sometimes we take the dogs to the lake and just pal around and have fun. Either way, swimming is a great exercise. Between yoga and swimming I get a few exercise sessions a week.

Hubs and I are training for a 10k. We do races for charity once every couple of months or so, usually a 5k.

I feel like having an amazing husband and two big dogs definitely helps me get out more. I also made a friend in my yoga class. So in case anybody needs some advice, it definitely helps to have a buddy to do these things with.

As a bonus I get to eat around 2,100 kcal a day even as a 5'3 lady (maintenance journey.)

How do you like to keep your body moving?
