Best Kind of Exercise

Hi,

I was just wondering what people find the best form of exercise?

I am quite open to trying anything. I have been running quite a bit recently but have been suffering from mild shin splints which I want to allow to clear up so I'm going to give the running a bit of a rest.

    I do weight training, yoga, spin class, bike outdoors, run on treadmills, swim, run outside....... If i don't keep mixing it up, I get bored and I can get complacent in the amount of effort I put into it.

    Good luck!

    I LOVE my kickboxing and Zumba classes! Both burn a ton of calories, and they're fun! Swimming is also a great workout!

    Good luck!

    I find the crosstrainer a good workout. I burn around 100 every 10mins.

    Running is my fav (shin splints are usually a sign of poorly fitting/cushioned shoes and easily fixable). Otherwise, I like swimming.

    I love swimming! I go to the pool 4 days a week; 2 days of laps and 2 days of water aerobics for about an hour each work out. It's super fun and low impact so it will give your shins a rest.

    I am all about the swimming too! I recently joined a great gym that had all kinds of other offerings, so I got distracted from my swimming and boy did that show on the scale. I've recommitted to get my laps in 3 times a week, and I am back on track!
