What's your favorite way to exercise in Lawrence?
I'm just starting the Swim Club. I like swimming because it's really low-impact, but it's still a great workout.
—Kellie Fogg, El Dorado freshman
I'm in the marching band, so we march around a lot. I'm not really sure if that counts as exercise, though.
—Matthew Schapbaugh, Shawnee Mission freshman
When I'm here, I like to do some running around town. I run on campus by the stadium because I like to do the hills.
—José Gill, Overland Park senior
THIS WEEKEND: The KC Improv Festival
I like to go to the Rec Center and hit the treadmill. I live close to the lake, so I ride my bike up to the lake and back. I also like to take my roommate's dog for a walk.
—Kelly Simpson, Lenexa junior
Tickets are $20 for the public and $15 for students and groups of 10 or more.
Are those lame science jokes your professor makes at 8 a.m. not exactly tickling your funny bone? Then head to the H&R Block City Stage at Union Station, 30 W. Pershing Rd. in Kansas City, Mo., for the KC Improv Festival to see how comedy is really done.
The first weekend of the festival showcases national comedians like Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock star Jason Sudeikis and 30 Rock writer Kay Cannon.
And if watching the show isn't enough, for $50, improv enthusiasts can work with the comedians and nationally recognized teachers in Saturday workshops like "Multiple Personalities" and "Physical Comedy."
Local improv acts will take the stage September 12 through 14.
Visit www.kcimprov.com for more information and to order your tickets.

I usually like to go running near my apartment. I get to listen to my iPod and be alone. It's peaceful.

—Ryadh Alkhareif, Saudi Arabia freshman
I like to play tennis out by my house at the University courts or the ones at 19th and Louisiana.
I like to walk on campus because I like the ambiance. It's good to see people.
Jeremy Steeley, Tula, Okla., senior
I usually go to the Rec Center and do the elliptical machines. I run down there to warm up, work out and run back.
—Amy Gairns, Leawood freshman
