Im just curious as to what kind of exercise you all do. I have been doing pilates for about 8 months. So I decided I wanted to try something different. Welllllllllll I started with a DVD for beginners of cardio kickboxing.
Let me tell you........... it is so much FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also found a site for Itrain, with some downloadable mp3 files for IBallet. It uses ballet movements and kickboxing moves to tone and strengthen the lower body.
Also, like many of you, I have been under a TON of stress lately, things that I wont go into here, but lets just say more than work issues........... its nice to "kick" it away!!!!!!!!!

I do Pilates mat work . I do not have a reformer. I run, bike, have a rowing machine, weights and kayak. I also walk my dog. When I feel really tired and a bit injured I will do some yoga. Love it all.
I personally love to bike, bench and pushups, and free weights. I have a hard time getting into a scedule with the hectic schedule of the hospital, but enjoy myself when I am on schedule.
Yesterday I jogged a pitifully slow 2 miles on the treadmill. Today DH and I did 5 - 6 miles on our bikes, in very hilly terrain - we live in the mountains.
I TRY to get up early enough to walk the 1.25 miles to work, because I then start the day with my heart already started.
And I need to get back to exercising at some intensity every day, and doing push-up, crunches, and something for my trcieps. I'd really like them to be reattached to my arms.
My exercise consists of the big three. Swimming, Running, Biking. I love participating in marathons and triathelons. Seems like I'm always running to somewhere or back from somewhere anyway. I stay very busy. There are some other sports I am into as well.

Ahhh! A fellow tri! Cool!
I'm doing my very 1st tri on October 5th. Wish me luck. Very nice to meet you "Iam46yearsold" I am 41. So much nicer in my 40's than earlier years when I took my health for granted!
I'm hoping to do a 1/2 marathon next year - if my unhappy foot/ankle lets me.
If we're talking about current exercise for me, well...I walk around at uni alot :imbar.
Anyways, I've just discovered that youtube has some pretty good stuff on it. There's full length yoga and pilates classes, and then ones that are 10 minutes if you feel like targeting a certain area (good for study breaks too). Check it out!
