Anything but a list of 39 prohibited acts. In the Talmud, tractate Shabbat, 12:1 it summarizes the spirit of the law as "one who does work on Shabbat and the work is enduring has violated shabbat." So, recreation, eating, worship, argument, all those are OK, but don't make things, plant things, harvest things, carry things (outside of your private domain), light fires, or put out fires (except to save a life). Saving someone's life on Shabbat is, of course, permitted even if it takes work.
