    Swimming and water aerobics definitely. Anything in the pool really.. low impact and great stress relievers. Plus you cant feel the sweat!

    Step Aerobics. I know it's not that popular anymore, but it's still my favorite. I did step aerobics today as a matter of fact.

    Walking's my favorite as well. I live in a beautiful neighborhood, with lots of things to see and lots of things that are worth walking to. I esepcially love walking the dogs to the park and letting them socialize with all the other dogs there. I also love walking to/from work because it helps me unwind mentally.

    As far as more intense exercises go, I enjoy Bikram yoga a lot. It helps me build strength, balance, and concentration, plus my joints feel like heaven afterward. At home I like to do Kundalini yoga, which is more meditative.

    I'm all about Zumba right now. I look forward to it every week and I'm hoping to be able to add another day of it! I still love doing Tae-boe and the Firm workouts though; I just can't seem to fit them in at home.

    Swimming! I don't get to it much because it takes a lot of effort, and it's easier to run or go to my taekwondo class or weight train at home...but I will always be a swimmer at heart. <3

    Kisado interval training! Mixture of agility (basically plyometrics), cardio, strength, bag work, and abs. Everything you want in one workout!

    what are burpees?

    The burpee is a full body exercise used in strength training and as aerobic exercise. It is performed in four steps, and was originally known as a "four-count Burpee":

    Begin in a standing position.
    Drop into a squat position with your hands on the ground. (count 1)
    Extend your feet back in one quick motion to assume the front plank position. (count 2)
    Return to the squat position in one quick motion. (count 3)
    Return to an upright standing position. (count 4)

    google so you can see some examples or check you tube.

    I'm thinking of taking the water aerobics class at my pool. I'll be the youngest and thinnest person there, for sure, but I get bored with swimming and it always looks like they're having so much fun. Is it much of a workout, though?

    I can't believe no one has said Pilates yet. For me, there is absolutely no better feeling than taking an hour long traditional Pilates class. No weights, bands, blocks or other gear. Just you and gravity. It's my favorite workout-induced high.

    I also like lifting free weights.

    Maybe I just like exercises that make you focus on form and body awareness.... hmm....
