Okay folks. Just curious what you would do for exercise on a weekend away.

I am going with some friends to the lake. Taking my kids.

I will be staying in a house by the lake, but I'm not familiar with the area and I don't want to be rude and take off.

Any suggestions?

I'm sure we are going to be pretty active chasing the kids around, but I really don't feel like I'm doing my part unless I do some type of "real" exercising.

I'd probably try to wake up early in the morning and go for a walk along the lake. You might ask your friends if anyone is interested in joining you for a brisk walk or jog early in the morning. That way you are inclusive while still making it clear that it's exercise, not a relaxed amble. Most people should understand that.
