Hi there, Shirley. Welcome to Austin! I've been here about 2 1/2 years now, moved from Houston where I lived for 20-something years. They couldn't drag me back! Regarding exercise, I agree on the weights thing. If you want some inside scoop on Austin's gyms (or anything else re our wonderful city), feel free to ask. Also, a great place to jog/walk is the hike and bike trail at Town Lake. The scenery is a great motivator--it's a wooded trail along the Colorado River, complete with myriad species of ducks, swans, coots, swimming dogs, scullers, canoes, kayaks, and in the Spring, wildflowers galore!
