just curious what everyone does for exericse. i know montignac really recommends leisurely walks, but i feel better when i move daily! i just joined the gym again, and plan to lift weight 3 times a week, do interval cardio (read in self magazine that doing intervals burns 5 times more fat, we shall see!), and want to add occassional yoga, tae bo, and pilates. i used to take pilates classes and loved them, now have to rely on tapes. have to learn yoga from tapes too, which i hope i can do properly. and since i live near the alps, and the weather is finally warming up, i plan to hike alot. i also have some belly dancing videos, and keep meaning to try them.
what do you enjoy?

I think that you have it right on... do what you enjoy and it sounds like you have some great stuff lined up

I do weight training and 20 mins HIT cardio 4 times per week. Used to spend hours doing cardio but find I get a great workout in just 20 mins working really hard on the treadmill or cross trainer. I have only been doing weights for just under 1 year but I love, love, love it! That powerful feeling is magic, not to mention being able to help DH haul in loads of drywall and wood for our renovations!

Hi there,

Right now I'm going to Curves -30 min. circuit training for women. I do some ab excersises and some light weights for arms. planning on working my way back to some heavier weight work for legs and arms. When the weather is milder I will be resuming my walking. I do a brisk walk of 3-6 miles a day and other times walk through the woods/bush not brisk walk but more cross country would describe I guess. Also I do a lot of gardening when the weather is mild - quite heavy digging and lugging...ooh I wish I was out in the dirt right now

Belly Dancing - very cool

1 do at least 1 hour combined walking each week day. Plus 1.5 hour hatha flow yoga classes - at least once a week, but try for 2. This is the energetic type yoga, which is good cardio
