    Walking and cycling mainly. Also enjoy a picnic or barbecue when the weather's nice!

    I like to get the kids out with their friends and other mammies for a good game of rounders, followed by a picnic.

    Gotta be a BBQ when the sun is shining although the best BBQ I was ever at was when it was lashing rain!! Also a bit of cycling with the kids.

    anything more active theres no way
    so maybe if i win this prize
    i will a fitness regime organise
    could buy myself some good running shoes
    though have a feeling it might go on booze
    i am messing cant you tell
    but a new tracksuit would do me well
    so though no more active would i be
    people would think it when they saw me

    After years of playing sports like tennis and basketball my poor knees have decided enough is enough, so it's only walking and a little bit of cycling these days.

    for me it is either getting out for a walk with the dogs (i love watching them enjoy themselves). or when the weather permits i love to go for a swim in the sea. it is so much better than chlorinated pool water :D

    I just started cycling again for the first time since I was 10. I've been doing up a bike for the past few months, it's pink with a matching basket :cool:
