I jog for about an hour every morning, I hate doing it but seeing as I don't really do any physical work I felt I should do something at least to keep fit-ish.

I did buy myself a set of weights but I just can't get into it. Really, I look at them and just think "Ugggh".

I run and surf. Mostly these days I just work out at the gym.

Lift weights, but my injuries have been bad lately.

I do CrossFit style endurance weight training in circuits.

Except I've been lazy of late, with all the work and school. Can't find the motivation, but I'm developing some paunch, so I think it'll ramp back up here soon.

I feel less lazy now, thanks yo

true. It gets my anxiety down by a lot

The disease to cycling off the list entirely ... my right leg kills me. I still swim occasionally, though it too is painful. I hike regularly at work even though it is painful; that's how I stay in shape.

I'm sorry to hear it, PT. Much credit for working despite the pain!

I walk when I can.

I used to be active with hiking, scuba, and taekwondo, but since the onset of a neurological disorder almost four years ago, I have not been able to do much.

I did dive a few months ago, though - just can't bear the weight of the gear in the local (cold) water.

I take the dog for a walk in the woods every morning.  I take a walk with my husband in the evenings.  We are at the top of a fairly steep hill so all walks require gaining and losing altitude in a big way.

We are still moving, so I also carry many boxes up and down stairs.  Gardening fills out my exercise plan.

I pretty much have what you're having, minus the treadmill.  I walk the dog every day, every other day with the wife.  When it is just me and the dog I do longer walks with more elevation change.  When we go out together, I just go out and return to her as she doesn't like being out of sight for long.  She always wears her headphones on walks so conversation is restricted to the car ride on the way to and from the walk.  The East Bay Regional parks all allow dogs off leash.  Sometimes, at the end of the day, I'll just grab the dog and head to the dog park on the bay and give Heidi Rose a good workout.  She will leap out over waves; swim, run and leap after the ball; and I also send her up into trees for her agility.  She needs so much more work than either of us can give her.

I do some gardening and remodeling work around the house too.  I think the physical activity is good, as is the opportunity to make and act on creative decisions.  But I don't think it is aerobic at all.  Up until I just retired I would be on my feet all day teaching.  That won't be hard to give up.

Surfing sounds great.  I used to body surf and skateboard, lots of fun.  The skateboarding always involved lots of uphill hiking in order to gain some altitude.

I run (5km, three days a week) and play rugby most weekends.  I also jump to conclusions, stab people in the back, and run down reputations.
