QOTD #55: What type of exercise is your favorite?

In order:

Cycling - on and off road
Kendo - getting hit on the head lessons
Swimming - not so much now that I don't live in a condo with a pool
Yoga - just not that awful hot yoga bullshit
Running - I like it, my knees don't

I don't like going to a gym. I don't like riding a stationary bike, I need to travel somewhere.

 

yep, so definitely no exercise for you then.

 

Biking and I guess, if it ever happens again, sex.

 

Has anyone done a bicycle fitting for you, or have you tried getting input from an experienced female cyclist?
Sometimes just changing the angle of the seat can make a world of difference. You could also try a high quality woman's specific saddle from Terry: Women's and Men's Bicycle Saddles: Womens and Mens Bicycle Seats - Best, Most Comfortable Cutaway & Gel Bike Seats | Terry or Brooks saddles.

 

Yep. I've been fitted repeatedly, I have the shorts with the cushioning, and tried a bunch of different seats. The only thing I can think of is that it could be related to the lopsided development of part of my pelvis after I broke part of it at 17. My sitz bones (because I can't spell the actual name) get very painful too, as I broke the left ring off during the car accident. I just have to satisfy myself with shorter rides.

 

I'm an avid skier and hiker, I get cranky in between seasons. I've exercised in gyms; but it bores me to tears.

You wouldn't think of riding motorcycles as excercise; but my upper body gets sore as hell the first few weeks of motorcycle season.

 

Yoga.
Hiking.
Walking with my camera.
Sex.
Swimming.

 

I love to go bicycling and explore. Always looking for a friend to be with. Oh you ladies yes I am single.

I had that problem, because of the hours that I was biking. After about 7500 miles later I brought another bike, this bike I can wear normal clothing and have no problems, I even one time rode nude and the seat gave me no problems.
Than I brought another bicycle to in my business for erne runs . That bike, starting to hurt again, so that discovery mean the seat is the problem. By the way all my bikes are upright style. So two things I would do to fix your problem, replace the seat and check for fitness and if it is the right style of bike for what you use it for.

 

I bike just about everywhere.

If I get my life in order and have time to do it, I like P90X and lifting weights.

Swimming and running are good, but I tend to pull tendons and tear muscles in my legs and knees when I do run or swim.

Have you tried a recumbent bike?

This seems to be a bigger problem for women than I realized. I would think if they fitted you for a bike that they would have tried different seats, even the extreme no nose ones.

Someone ask me what is the exercise that is not a favorite. Many, Swimming, running, all machine exercise equipment, many sports to name a few.

 

Mainly weights. I used to love gymnastics, but no floors available to old clods like me. Used to bike a lot, but the roads near me are too dangerous for my fat hiney. Used to love hiking, but it takes time, which is in short supply. I enjoyed martial arts, but can't stand to hear the BS while in class. Too much mystical crap, and lies about street fights...

 

Rugby

 

just yard work, it covers all the body needs. At least it does here.
