I prefer to work exercise into my daily routine rather than go to a gym or something like that. So in the summer, I like to walk and bike as many places as I can. It's about a 12 km round trip to get to work, so combined with a semi-active job, that keeps me pretty fit for the warmer part of the year.
My problem is the cold part of the year, when human power becomes much less feasible, and large holiday dinners abound. I don't really gain weight, my muscle mass just devolves into fat. To combat this, I've started the Video Game Fitness Program!
The Video Game Fitness Program consists of playing as much DDR and Wii Boxing as you can handle. So far, I'm pleased with the results. My muscles are toning up, my waist is slimming down and my energy level is higher. I'm not losing weight, but my weight doesn't actually change much, anyway. None of the tedium of going to the gym, although if you're looking to develop specific areas of fitness, video game exercise obviously uses a limited set of movements when compared to weights or aerobics.
