Nice tush, lady! And great reminder that the scale is only a small piece of the story.0

Thanks for your nice comments guys!
Some of you asked what sort of training I did. I'm not at all an expert, so I don't want to suggest that this is the best way to go, plus I'm not following any strict/regular programme, but I usually do:
1) Bike 4/5 days a week to work and back (total: 50 minutes)
2) Cardio 3/4 days a week (usually 1 hour of walking/jogging intervals, or 45 minutes of spinning)
3) Weight training 2/3 days a week (45minutes-1hour): at the beginning I was just using the machines in the gym, doing 3 sets of 8/10 reps per machine, but following the recommendation of some MFP friends and forums, I decided to move into using free weights. An instructor in my gym suggested to me the following training routine, which I follow more or less -sometimes I do different exercises- (3 sets of 8 reps of each of the following):
Arnold dumbbell press: Shoulders & triceps
