Seriously, anyone wanna talk about their exercise routine? Do you bike or walk? Lift weights? A combo of everything? What has gotten you the best results?

No shake weight here

We've been walking/short distance jogging at the local park a couple of nights of week. We have gym memberships, too... but for some reason I cannot get into working out there. When she does convince me to go, I usally do about 15 - 20 minutes on the eliptical (when I started, I could only do about 5 minutes before my legs gave out). Then we switch it up and do the arm & leg weights. I cannot do the treadmill for very long, because it feels like I'm pounding on the damn thing and my knees kill me!

Years ago when I lost quite a bit of weight, I did it doing Richard Simmons tapes. Laugh all you want folks, but that crazy man helped get my ass moving! At first I was like, oh this is gonna be easy. The warm up started... not to bad. But then his sequin tank top ass jumped into high gear! Over the course of 6 months, I lost about 65 pounds! I bought about 6 different tapes and used one 30 minute tape a day. I actually gifted them to a friend on the site that was wanting to start an exercise regime... I hope that she's enjoying them.

Crazy thing... when the Wii Fit first came out, my honey was like we HAVE to get this. Well, over 2 years later the damn thing is stillll in the box, never been used. I really think it's about time, don't you?!

Lately, I've been thinking about walking early in the morning, like 530ish... but D isn't very comfortable about me walking alone in the park at dark. She is soooo not a morning person, so the idea of her coming with me before work is a hell to the no! A friend of mine says that she likes to work out in the morning, because by the time she gets off work the last thing she wants to do is exercise.

Exercise.... what motivates you to just do it?!
