<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

I've lost about 8 lbs in the last couple months through diet changes, but I know I need exercise as well. However, I really, really hate running! Yesterday my husband and I picked up a frisbee and went to a park to throw it around, and it felt like surprisingly good exercise. I started thinking maybe I could stay active by doing things I used to do as a kid - shoot hoops, kick a soccer ball around, play tag - has anyone had any success doing this sort of thing? I figure I'd still be doing stretching & lifting for other aspects of fitness, and maybe the occasional jog, but it sounds so much more fun to just go out and play.
<bot>: Anybody get a lot of exercise through playing active games like you did when you were a kid, instead of just "working out"?
