    Hi Hogcalls,

    My name is Andrea. I also have a little kiddo I want to be around for, so I figured, its time. My personal favorite is the treadmill. If you can find a community college to go to, they usually have free gyms to work out at, and do not question your school membership on most parts. If you have a gym membership, by all means utilize it too. I like the treadmill cuz it allows me to go at my own pace, but it also forces me to keep up with it, if that makes sense.

    Welcome to MFP! The belly and chest were my biggest problems too. The best exercises I've found to loose my problem areas has been crunches, cardio (walking and jogging), and weight training to tone. Good luck to you.

    I would have to agree with the previous post. Cardio is going to be your best friend! Welcome! Good luck!
