Exercise - what's your favorite?
I luv bike riding, it's easy on my knees & riding along the path near my house makes for some nice scenery where I can just mellow out, but it can be windy as hell sometimes.
The exercise I like is walking, it's easy to do, I can go anywhere, no one knows I'm exercising & I can work on speed & distance without attracting attention to myself.
Plus I carry around a metro card so if I'm too tired or I get a flat, I can get on the train/bus & go home.

I think about activity rather than exercise. A Fitbit is a wonderful invention. I aim for a certain level of activity by the end of the week.

You should!! I started with an inexpensive fitbit Zip I got on ebay for $40. I did not want to spend a lot of money on something I was not sure I would use. Since then I have gotten the Charge and recently upgraded again to the Charge HR.
I love love love using a fitbit. It has really made me much more active. I gave my Charge to my mom when I got my HR and she has gotten a lot more active, too. I have kept my Zip and use it when I want to clip it on my bra or when my Charge HR is not charged up.
