Climbing is a great option. It's a full body work out that will often "sneak up" on you. The mix of strength and technique keeps it interesting. It's an incredibly fun and social sport. The climbing community is surprisingly varied, and very welcoming. I've spent many a day talking way more then climbing. It's also very cheap to try out.. Not so much if you get REALLY into it, but for beginners the bar is low.

If you make the big leap, climbing outdoors is unreal. There's nothing like the gorgeous views, technical work, and mind-numbing adrenaline rushes.
