I just walk a lot, and stretch throughout the day, but I should do more. My grandma is 86 and does 15 minutes on the stationary bike each night, plus some freeweights for her arms!

Join the YMCA they have an excellent set up with trainers Not expensive, And they are very well organized. They will give you physical test first before setting up your training based on what you want to Achieve. You can mix strength with Cardio and Yoga, water aerobics, etc.

Well, WHEN I was going....(and I do plan to start again soon)...I was walking on the treadmill for 40 - 45 min. a day....with gradually increasing intensity...(either pace or uphill). I also was doing weight training every other day.

I haven't been in a while, since I just started a new job and had to switch gyms (plus, I threw out my back Saturday night), but I have been mainly focusing on cardio (elliptical and/or bike) for about 45mins/day. I am really lazy and don't go as often as I should (I aim for 4-5 days/week, and usually go maybe 2-3, 4 if I am good!) or do as long as I should. I used to do some weights and abs too, but since all I want to do is shed poundage, I figure I'll try to do mostly cardio, rather than build more muscle.

Courtney, join my Excerpts from An Exercise Diary group where we can log our exercise and encourage each other. I'll send you an official invite - so look for it. I primarily do Tae Bo, but lately I've been using my exercycle. Just so long as I get some exercise in 3 - 5 days a week, I feel like it makes a difference in my health.

Actually we don't need to spend too much money just for workout. I always jogging and walking in the morning surrounding my house and thanks to LORD I stay health and fit.
