Rock climbing is another thing that is hugely motivating to get more fit and it can be a very regular thing to do if you have a climbing gym nearby that you can go after work. climbing tends to attract the people that like to solve puzzles because each route is a physical puzzle in how you should contort your body best to get up it. When is the best time to rest on a route if you can? where should take a stance to clip the next quickdraw? am I going to fall and is it going to be a safe fall? is my leg behind the rope and is that going to flip me upside down? You think about everything and nothing all at once. It's amazing. It also has a very social aspect to it as well because you see the same people over and over again at the gym or local crag and there is a lot of downtime while you are resting. Bouldering is especially communal as people tend to shout out encouragement and help you figure things out if you want it. Give it a go and you will probably like it. edit: if you are interested go to http://www.reddit.com/r/climbing http://www.reddit.com/r/climbing for more info.
