Brazilian jiu-jitsu, three or four times a week. Practices often involve conditioning, sometimes do circuits afterwards.
What keeps me coming back is skill progression and the satisfaction of doing something hard.

I've been at it for a year+ and it's incredibly effective. It's sort of a modern take on the Müller system [http://slate.me/gDHIsE]: ~15min daily, varied movements, rinse & repeat.

#47I just got back into running after about a year away from it and I'm not sure why I ever quit. It's amazing how much more productive I am when I go for a 30 minute run at lunch instead of sitting at my desk.

#48I started refereeing soccer recently. It's a more appropriate outlet for my desire to be on the pitch than coaching. As an athletic activity it requires the same type of focus, study and training which I loved as a player.

#49Depending on the season, I tend to focus more on:
Winter - Kettlebells Spring - Running Summer - Tennis Autumn - Biking/Hiking
This way I never get bored of any of those disciplines and are able to maintain a pretty healthy lifestyle.

#50I run 5-6 times a week. For me it's instant stress relief, and the best path to a clear head. I've solved countless frustrating problems while away from my computer running outside.
