I don't swim. Well, I mean, I can, but not well. I like it & everything, but I don't have good form, good breathing technique, etc. So I don't swim for exercise, only for fun.

I can't run. My husband says I look ridiculous (I do), I'm not very coordinated and one of my legs is slightly shorter than the other, so running doesn't work out that well. Boy, I just painted a real purty picture of myself, huh? Biking is OK, I don't ride too much anymore though. As far as outdoor stuff, I like to walk really fast, preferably with a friend - or the dog! Get a 75 pound Boxer to pull you around, now that's a workout!

As far as cardio machines, stationary bikes are OK, but you really don't burn many calories. Treadmills - I feel like I should be outside walking & enjoying nature instead of running on a belt. Oh, and I tend to trip on them (short leg again.) But I love the elliptical. Absolutely love it. It burns calories & works your entire body if you use the arm thingys.
