Poll -- What's your favourite workout to stay fit?

Take part in this poll and tell us what gets you going when it comes to working out and staying fit.

Sweating it out to burn calories is no longer restricted to gyms. There are several other ways to work out and stay fit. We list some popular ways people like to work out these days and ask you to vote for your favourite one. Tell us, which of the following or any other method do you prefer to stay in shape.

Hitting the gym

Though several new forms have come up, you stick to the tried-and-tested formula i.e. the gym. You prefer running on the treadmill than in the open and love the adrenaline rush when lifting weights or using the machines. Even the loud (read bad) music or smell of sweat cannot let your determination waver to get up in the morning and hit the gym, consistently.

Yoga

Nothing can beat the calmness you feel after a yoga session. Though there are several ways to do yoga these days such as hot yoga, power yoga, and even naked yoga, you love the mind-body connection they all offer. You cannot do without your daily dose of pranayam, anulom vilom, or surya namaskar.

Dance workouts

You love to dance and want to stay fit so you mix it up to get a fun workout. Highly popular these days, apart from the traditional aerobics, one can find different dance workouts including Zumba, Masala Bhangra, etc. Even dance forms such as ballet, contemporary, salsa, etc make for a good exercise session.

CrossFit

You love to challenge yourself every day by doing insanely rigorous workouts such as tyre flips, ring dips and an obnoxious number of squats, pull-ups, crunches, etc and your day begins by checking the CrossFit workout of the day.

Martial Arts

You love your kicks and punches and have good reflexes which make you a good fighter. Be it karate, kung fu, kick-boxing or kalaripayattu, you cannot imagine going without your dose of high kicks and ducks.

Walking/Running/Swimming

You love the outdoors and cannot imagine yourself working out in confined spaces. A brisk walk, a good run or a dip in the pool is your idea of de-stressing as well as burning those calories. The fresh air keeps you going day after day.

Home videos and mobile apps

You don't believe in getting out to get fit, it can be achieved at home! With this philosophy in place, you love to workout in your living room with the help of latest mobile fitness apps or online videos such as P90X and motion games.

Now, take part in this poll and choose your favourite workout.
