    What do you enjoy doing that elevates the heart rate for a prolonged period of time while activating muscles throughout your body? Skate ... dance ... walk ... learn to run (it isn't as simple as trying to go fast if you want to do it regularly) .... bike ... hike .... swim ... play hockey (the Australian women's team needs the help ... then again, so do the Oilers). When looking for new cardio activities, the key is to find something that is enjoyable so you keep doing it and produces an aerobic benefit.

    When my kids were small, when they were in the bathtub, I would do exercises, such as strength training with exercise bands. I would do them right there in the bathroom and hallway so I could always keep an eye on them. They amused themselves in the tub, so it was a great time for me to work out.

    What about getting a couple of DVD's to do at home? Maybe something such as 30DS. Or you can find loads of short workouts on fitness blender.

    Welcome to canada! There are some really great fun challenges on tribesports that might help. I also like the idea of DVD"s…I started with Biggest Loser DVD's from walmart…less that $10 each. Moved on to others P90X over time. Find another sport you love to do? Find a workout buddy?
