in Fitness and Exercise
I currently use the original p90x dvds, and home workout equipment. As a mom this was the most practical cost efficient choice for me. How and where does your fitness happen?

    Strength/HIIT/Kickboxing happens in my living room with Fitness Blender vids, Nike Training Club app or a DVD. Running happens on the college campus a few blocks from my house - love being able to run through an agricultural area smack in the middle of the city - orchards, wheat fields, summer corn, grazing cattle & horses - just a few steps from my front door. :smile:

    Mainly ... outside.

    I'm cooped up inside much of the day, in the office at work. I can see outside through the windows, and that just makes me long to be out there all the more.

    So come lunch, I'm almost sprinting out the door for a walk. After work and on the weekends ... love to be outside walking or cycling or whatever.

    I love to be outside. I powerwalk, jog and ride a bike. I go to gym 2 times a week for cardio and strength training. I live in South Florida so the weather here is awesome.

    I have worked really hard to incorporate fitness everywhere into my life.
    • I go to the gym four or five times a week.
    • I also have a fitbit flex so I am always trying to get more steps in. (I have an aerobic step in my frontroom to get steps in. I always park far away at the store or at work. I organized my classroom so that I can do laps around the room between classes or slowly while kids are there...)
    • I have Power 90 DVDs which I started last week. (I will probably cut down on my gym time to do the program.)

    Excellent @AmyRhubarb‌ . I also have a community track a block from my house! Weather permitting, it is a GREAT place to run since it includes a playground for my children!

    Lift at my local Y, run on the sidewalks close to my kids' schools, and do martial arts at a dojo a couple miles from my house. When I'm stuck at home I have dumbbells and lift in my living room while the kids watch cartoons.

    fitness club- yoga, zumba, strength training class; its very convenient - just a few min from my house - that keeps me motivated; and the sauna and hottub that are in the fitness club keep me relaxed

    At home indoors most of the time, especially in winter (gets really darn cold here). I'm a mom of 3 young ones and it would be impossible to get it done anywhere else but at home since we live in a small town and the closest fitness space is a 30 minute drive. During the summer I really enjoy going for runs outdoors too plus its a great "me" time.

    Everywhere, but I prefer outdoor activities. Things like running, swimming, inline skating, biking, skiing and the like. It pains me to set foot in a gym. I do however have a nice home gym setup that isn't too bad. I still prefer to scenic stuff.

    I go to a regular gym 5 mornings a week to lift weights and on my nights off I go to a crossfit box and do the WOD. Usually make crossfit 3-4 times a week.

    My living room. I'm doing the C25K app along with weight lifting. I also have DVDs and wii fitness games. Sometimes I just turn up the music and dance till I'm covered in sweat!

    I used to run on a beautiful track outside but I have bad knees and was advised by my doctor to stop. I love to bike in the summer with my dogs and I have a membership with GoodLife Fitness. On mondays and Tuesday's I can't get to the gym so I will take the children (I work in a daycare) into our gym and I will skip rope for 30min (or however long I can before the children need me.)

    Oh that sounded bad. I will have the children skip with me and we will challenge each other. Lots of them like to do their own thing.

    I go to the gym 4-5 nights a week, do yoga here and there, and use YouTube videos from BodyRockTV and ZuzkaLight. I also try to get outside when I can to walk, run or jump rope, but it's a bit difficult where I live due to weather. B)
