Hiking. I don't try to climb mountains,just get out and move. The fact I have to watch my footing and have a chance of seeing (or at least hearing) wildlife helps distract from the fact exercising sucks.

I use mental tricks as well. I had to bribe myself to get started. "Look there's a trail near that takeout place you like, if you hike you can get takeout!" If I run out of breath due to uphill terrain, I'm not stopping because I can't keep going, it's clearly to look at this neat bird/bug/plant. If I have an off day and need to turn back early, I remind myself that I've already won by getting off the couch.

Hiking. I don't try to set speed records climbing mountains, but instead find an easy/moderate trail

That's awesome, it didn't occur to me you could get enough owls together for a flock

Seconded! Big fan of the Pirates soundtracks and the Gladiator battle music is excellent. I'll have to go dig up Madagascar's soundtrack since I have no memory of it.

I'm not sure how to describe my instrumental music taste. Maybe engaging epic fantasy music?

My top 3 are:

  • The Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks
  • How to Train Your Dragon soundtracks
  • Anything by Antti Martikainen - he's a composer who has a variety of albums in different music styles that range from orchestra to celtic to rock/metal. 'The Sound of Courage' is probably my favorite, followed by 'Sonic Savior'

What's your secret? Mine refuse to produce flowers

 

In the northern hemisphere, at least. This little guy was kind enough to let me take a picture.
