    I do logistics, so I spend the day lifting heavy boxes and moving them from point A to point B.

    Having grown up on a farm myself, I am not surprised.

    Speed skipping. Speed walkers and joggers freak me out, so I speed skip instead. Kids love it.

    I used to go to Zumba once a week but that got expensive and time consuming, so now I do nothing.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Is something they offer at gyms really considered non-traditional?

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned having sex yet.

    There's a reason I put non-tradition in quotation marks. I'd say yes, zumba is "non-traditional".

    Sex doesn't really burn many calories at all. 40 to 70 a half hour...make it more vigorous and toss in some sighing and moaning and you may top 100, but not by much. Definitely the most fun way to exercise though. Walking that long would yield you well over 200 cals burnt, even at a slow pace.
