I live in the middle of the San Joaquin Valley, the milk capitol of the world. As I am somewhat gimpy from an injury, I ride an old bike.

    I'm in the Valley, where it is hot in the summer and cold in the fall/winter.

    I like to dance, I take Salsa lessons, and do Jazzercise and Zumba. I also enjoy the gym.

    I'm in San Luis Obispo county. I like lots of sitting down things (my job is graphic and web design, so I live and breath my computer) but I love going for walks on the beach with my dog and taking motorcycle rides with my husband around the central coast. It's so beautiful here all year long.

    San Diego! 7 miles from Sea World, 12 from the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park, 45 minutes to Lego Land/ Knottsberry area, 1.5 hrs from Disneyland, 2 hrs to Magic Mountain... Plenty of beaches minutes away if you like *free* entertainment!

    Currently switching up the exercise since I'm bored and am still saving to rehire my personal trainer, lol! Going between the elliptical, treadmill, and general circuit training stuff.

    :heart:

    I live in San Francisco.

    Primarily, I am a horseback rider but with the short days I will have to actually work out more and more :tongue: I am more interested in lifting than cardio but I am learning that I must do some.

    Make me 3 for Orange County (I know that rat well - but I'm not sure we'd have passes if we had to buy more than 2).

    I run (not very fast and not very far but I'm working on it with C25K)
    I walk
    I play DanceCentral and DanceCentral 2 (the BEST!)
    I do mixed training (strength and plyo type stuff) with a personal trainer
    and on my own I try to drop and do pushups, squats, etc, whenever I can force myself to do them.

    hey there. I'm in Venice. I'm a movie producer and also an attorney (mostly entertainment). I ride a bicycle frequently and was a pretty regular cross trainer at the local Gold's gym, but a high ankle sprain has meant I'm only doing weight training (and bicycling around my hood) for the last six weeks or so (when not travelling).

    I have no friends on mfp, so feel free to add me. Been logging in every day, and its nice to see such a supportive group.
