What are the differences in meaning in these two sentences?

1. What exercise do you like doing best of all?
2. What exercise do you like doing the best of all?

Yours sincerely,
Simon

This expression really means the very best above all other things. You have therefore two choices:

a What exercises do you like doing best of all?

b What exercises do you like doing the best?

You can't really have a mixture of the two.
