I don't 'exercise' in the traditional sense. One of my big hobbies however, is walking.
Walking for great distances I mean, not from the couch to the fridge.
I regularly participate in marching events, of which there are a ton around where I live, including the biggest one in the world in Nijmegen at the beginning of the summer. It really clears my mind, and takes me to places you'd normally wouldn't go to. Sometimes it takes all day, like a 60 kilometer walk, but I also do shorter ones like 20 kilometers. I am a 'nice-weather only' guy though, so I don't have a set scedule and sometimes it takes a month between walks. I really wouldn't want to think out exercise indoors, when I could do it outdoors! Indoor gyms however, don't have a big presence in our culture here. Also, when everyone else takes the bus, I do walk to my university from the train station and back every day. No matter the weather. This is 4 kilometers total, which takes me a little over half an hour (15 minutes, to 15 minutes from).
I'm definitely not the stereotype gamer, not by character and not by appearance, and usually people don't expect me to actually be one and a Star Wars geek on top of that.
