I'm partial to taking my dog on long walks. When I lived (single) in Bend, it was riding my bicycle.
 
I prefer running and during the summer, hiking through the cascades for exercise.
 
Working part time at the local hardware store I average well over 11,000 steps (on concrete) per six hour shift. It’s brutal on the elderly knees and feet but I have lost almost 30 lbs to this point…….the days I don’t work I walk with the wife and dog for 3-5 miles around the old Tektronix property. It’s pretty much the only exercise I can handle these days despite the fact that it is slowly leading to at least one knee replacement. But it beats the f**k out of running/jogging……..

That's awesome, man.
 
I know this is the OT section but still amazes me Playing Basketball wasn't an option in a basketball forum! That was always my favorite form of exercise, could run up and down a court for two hours with a good sweat and not feel like I was exercising, get me on a treadmill or even out for a walk/jog/run and I'm bored 20 minutes in.

nothing better than playing basketball

but I always get hurt when I play now and I’m not even that old
 
I've been going to the climbing gym 3-4 times a week the last few months and I've been really enjoying it. That and disc golf, all the exercise I need.

I just found a frisbee golf course near our new neighborhood. I've never played. Is that "really" exercise? LOL

It's just as good of exercise as walking or hiking, imo. Disc golf.

I got into it a few years back, the little town I live in has one of the nicer courses in the state. If it weren’t for that I probably never would’ve got into it. It’s really fun though. Easy to go play a few rounds after work and get a walk in. My wife and I play together and many of our friends have gotten into it as well.
 
Hunting. Exercises and stretches every muscle and all six senses.

I lift weights before work in the wee hours of the morning usually 6 days a week. I’ve been lifting weights since I was in high school. Sometimes more seriously than at other times. Lately I’ve been really into it. I also walk on average about 50,000+ steps a day at work. Generally 10 hour days.

So sometimes on the weekends I just want to sit my ass on the couch and be lazy.

My parents have a place out in La Pine and I built a course out there as well.

I did an electrical design on a new grocery store there a little over 30 years ago. Don't know why but I kind of got proud of that job.
