In terms of keeping fit do you prefer to exercise alone in a or do like exercising outdoors, whether it is alone (jogging for example) or by participating in team sports (football, tennis etc)?

We have a wii fit and several other exercise things we use .I tend to go out to exercise with my friend we go for long walks,in our local park they have put step machines and other twist and turn equipment so we use that for nothing.We do try to get out in the nice weather but in the winter we exercise indoors.

I had a go on a friend's wii fit the other day. I had no idea those things were so much fun - I am seriously considering getting one when I have some cash to do so!

To tell the truth, I don't exercise. I know that I should, but when I start exercising it lasts for about a week or so and then I get tired of it and quit. I wish I knew something that would keep me motivated so I wouldn't stop.

Thanks for being so honest sweetashoney! I think that you probably need to find a type of activity which you enjoy doing. It doesn't neccessarily even have to be a convential sport. Even doing regular housework or doing the gardening counts. Whatever you enjoy really. Good luck!

I go to the gym, I need the structure and the equipment. But mostly i take Yoga classes. I also work around the ranch which includes a lot of walking and lifting.

Yoga is fab and it's great to hear that you participate in yoga. It also sounds like you have a physically demanding job which I guess is quite beneficial for your fitness. Thanks a lot for responding.

I usualy do it alone coz our teamates are too busy.It is very hard to call all of them up and have a game. What's more I think if you exercise alone ,it will be easier for you make plans about how much exercise you'll reach or things like that

I know what you mean. I used to visit the gym a few years ago with a friend but I did find it used to limit the times that I would go to the gym or how long I would spend whilst I was there. Thanks for the response.
