    I go to the gym and do a mix of cardio and strength training, plus I have personal training sessions. I also do aerobics, spinning and zumba once a week each.

    I walk a lot with my children. They're 3 and 1, so take up a lot of energy to look after and play with! My 3 year old likes to take his scooter out along the seafront so i spent a lot of time chasing him.

    I also work part time as a secondary school teacher so I'm on my feet all the time when I'm at work.

    I've no idea how I'm not super skinny by now!!

    I like to mix it up with many different things so I don't get bored (which happens very easily). So far I've had the most success with the following:

    - Elliptical trainer
    - Stationary bike
    - Spin class
    - Strength training (3X a week)
    - Walking and generally not sitting on my a** (probably why I got to the size I did)

    - I also trained for a long distance bike ride, and it gave me a goal to work towards (raised money for MS)

    - I've lost 51 lbs since February using these exercises plus watching my intake

    I walk my dog 2x each day for 30-60 minutes each outing.
    I run 2-3x each week (3 mile minimum each run)
    I go for a hike once a week in the summer and fall.
    I bike 1-2x each week (for 30 minutes up to 2 hours each time, depending on time constraints)
    I use DVDs at home once or twice a week for variety (kickboxing or HIIT or dancing).
    I strength train 2-3x each week.

    Basically, I do the things that I enjoy. In the summer I add in kayaking, swimming, and more walks. In the winter I try to do some xx-skiing, snowshoeing, or ice skating at the local rink a couple times a month. I love being active and outside.

    I do body weight and heavy weight training exercises exclusively (a few HITT sessions here and there) - no more cardio.

    I lift heavy 3 times per week, box 3-4 times per week, and do some focused calisthenic-type work once a week.

    I also live in Chicago, so I walk a lot.
