    I would second that - I find the weights really help - and building up some of that muscle is good for you in the long run

    Pick up some resistance bands and buy a good worout series such as Slim in 6 or Chalean Extreme. You will lose weight and get a nice sculpted shape.

    Strength training will help you tone up and cardio will strengthen your heart and entire cardio system...both are very important and go great hand in hand!:flowerforyou:

    Mind and Body adds a nice touch as well for stress reduction and calmness and a peaceful mindset. Yoga, Mediation, Meditative Dance, things along that line can also add some great flexibility, and increase your balance tremendously.

    Hey going for a pleasant peaceful walk can do abit of that too!:wink:
