For cardio, I ride my bike 2 - 3 times a week. I'm up to 11 miles in an hour, and add more distance every day - this is exercise I enjoy :smile:
On the days I don't ride, I walk for abour 45 minutes to an hour at a brisk pace. I'm looking for an exercise that I can do at home (I hate gyms) on my walk days, that doesn't use "equipment". I have an exercise mat and gym ball.... Any suggestions??

    what are you looking to do with it? There are lots and lots of exercises you can do. Can you narrow it down a bit for us? I.E. a certain muscle group, maybe some resistance stuff...etc

    I can't take credit for finding this, but this is really cool.

    If you sign up, they send you new exercises every week.

    You need light dumbells and a stability ball, but some of them just use your body weight.

    or pilates. I really like the book "The Pilates Body" by Brooke Siler.
