I like hiking. I don't get to go as much as I would like. But when we get the opportunity we definitely take it.

Walking or running are my favorites, I'd say. Though I like running to keep in shape, I'm not always in shape or in the mood to do it. Walking is something I can do pretty much anytime, anywhere.

I actually like hiking and biking. I don't do as much of either as I like. We have a nice, large, natural urban park with lots of hiking trails right near my house.

My favorite, at the moment is swimming. It's a great exercise and very relaxing. However I intend getting another dog very soon, because I miss my dawn walks with man's best friend. Now that's quality time.

Mine would have to be four wheel driving, my fiance and i go out in the bush , down rocky tracks and into mud pools and water holes. We usually have bbq's for lunch while we are out there and just spend the day together usually with family and we get to see the bush and beautiful scenery and find awesome places to have picinics as well.

I have many many bird feeders and love to feed my chickadees by hand I take photos grab my binoculars to check out how the little family of sparlings are doing in my birdhouse.I can spend the day outside in nature.I take my bird books and identify as many as i can. I really feel at peace its quiet and gives me time to reflect on my week of stress Cheryl

I like to walk. I always feel good after a walk and my dogs benefit also. I prefer to walk at the coastal areas because the scenery and air is so much nicer than here in the suburbs. It is very good for my back and breathing. I also have much more energy when walking.

I like swimming at night in the pool. I like walking and enjoying nature.The water relaxes me and seems to make my back feel better. I sleep so much better after being in the water and even though it does make me a little hungry....its my favorite outdoor activity. Good topic...

I like playing football. Football has always been my favourite sport and also now I'm already 40 and I am rather old, I can still play football and run for a lot of time without getting tired. Another thing I like doing outdoor is biking. I have an excellent bike, and when I have time I always run along a lot of chilometers. But my favourite outdoor acitivity is going to the park with my little son. I love staying and playing with him.

when the weather is so nice there is nothing better than going out..there is so much to do and I like either going out for a long walk (i like walking in the major parks of the town or i like walking among ruins and monuments..I can always discover something new) or I like running...I usually do this during spring and summer...as soon as I come back home from work, I put on my running shoes, my ipod and go out...oh this is so relaxing...during summer I like going to the sea so to swim as much as possible...I am used to saying I was a dolphin in another life because dolphin is my favourite animal and because I am so happy while swimming...it is just like feeling at home!!!

I like to read and set int he sun to get a tan but I dont get to do it to much for keeping an eye on grand daughter she is all over the place lol and I wish her dad would get the gate fixed in front so I could relax more and not be afraid of her getting in the street. Also like to swim so we are looking into lessons for her soon

I like dipping (sometimes skinny dipping) and fishing. I'm an amateur in fishing but I love it when I catch any. If we can afford it, we will get a sailing boat, sailing is another thing I'd love to do.

Well i dont know if it will beat boredom but for me i go fishing when i can. Its relaxing, you can clear your mind and you get fresh air. I can sit there for hours just holding that rod, doesn't matter if i don't catch anything but its a bonus if i do. I let it go and start all over again.

I have heard that it is very relaxing......
