ways to get exercise

[la-ti-da.livejournal.com]

hi all - i wanted to get some varied ideas of ways to get regular exercise around here.  i'm trying to avoid joining a gym- i prefer to do activities that are fun and challenging, and as an added benefit, happen to be good for your body.  e.g. climbing, sailing, swimming, hiking, but these are not the most convenient this tiime of year.  i think i need something that forces me to commit, and where i can see progress over time.  so i was thinking of signing up for a phys. ed. type class- maybe at a school, or if there are any continuing education type programs?  anything you know of in davis or nearby?

my other idea was joining a martial arts studio.  any you recommend?

also, suggestions for yoga/meditation studios are welcome too.  :)

I found that the Japanese styles tend to score much higher on the intimidation scale. Chinese styles tend to be a lot more laid back. Just different approaches, really, and it depends on the school. Again, visit a few and see how they strike you. The Shotokan place may really shine for you. ^_^
