    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

    Running, walking, hiking, cycling on the indoor trainer.

    How many calories do you burn while slacking off on this website?

    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.
