Choose our adventure
I love my gym. It's cheap and clean and they have ten televisions, so I can watch Design on a Dime or Rock of Love while I elliptical my toosh off.
But Joe and I sometimes get bored with the routine. So how about you suggest a fun and calorie-burning activity for us to try?
Here's a couple of things you should know in advance, when you make your suggestion:
1) I don't run. I am not built for it.
2) Neither of us have any shame whatsoever, so be creative.
3) It should be something local and not too pricey (no spa vacations please). The N&R hasn't exactly offered us a budget to do this.
We'll pick the best suggestions and let all of you vote on which ones we should try.
So what do you say? How should we get fit? Roller-skating? Boot camp?
We'll take suggestions until Feb. 22 and try it next weekend -- and take photos and video for you guys to enjoy at our expense.

Martial arts. Fencing. Belly dancing. The Kama Sutra. Build a replica of the set of American Gladiators. Fight club. Choreograph a burlesque routine. Blacksmithing. Cheerleading. Moshing. Hang-gliding.
I was serious about the first three. The rest are your call.

You do know there is an ice skating rink in greensboro. I think we would all like to see those pictures. As for the last few of Chris suggestions, some of them would not be pretty.

The area has running/walking events just about every weekend. Paste this link (http://www.offnrunningsports.com/calendar/2008/0322.htm) and walk a 5K for a good cause. It's fun to get out and compete with others. You will be surprised by the diverse crowds these events draw. Plus there is always food at the end! I ran a race last weekend, the Groundhog Gallop, and there was a huge tray of Oreos among the goodies. The events usually give awards for various age group divisions. The competition is never in-your-face and there is plenty of encouragement from spectators and participants. Be forewarned though these events can become addicting.

I really want to see video of the belly dancing. And going through the American Gladiators set.

You know what I'm going to say. Capoeira!

Can people who can barely touch their toes do Capoeira?

I say indoor rock climbing. A hell of a work out, and if you fall there are mats!
