    I love variety! I do water aerobics twice a week. I LOVE my wii just dance games!!!!! I also do Zumba with Wii. I love Richard Simmons Disco Sweat. My latest obsession is Leslie Sansone walking videos. I have youtube on my TV, so I try a lot of different things, but dancing is my mostest favoritest thing to do.

    I like lifting because it doesn't set off my asthma. Walking in water is also good as I doesn't hurt my arthritic knees.

    I try to exercise at least 5x a week, 4x minimum. I do general strength training for about 15min and cardio for 15min. I mix it up, do cardio all one day... on the treadmill or bike. Try to make sure I don't get stuck in a rut :)

    I ride my spinning cycle 25 - 30 minutes every day. I am pretty limited for walking, aerobics sort of stuff as I have plantar fasciitis. I hate the cycle, but love how it makes me feel and how it increases my energy for the day.

    I excersise at the gym 4x a week. About an hour of cardio (worked up to 20 min. on elliptical, 20 on bike, 20 on treadmill) on Monday night because I weigh myself on Tuesdays :-).
    Wednesday I do 30 min. of cardio (elliptical or bike) then various strength machines.
    Friday I do Zumba at the gym for the hour.
    Saturday or Sunday I go and do my Wednesday routine.

    On the off days I may play wii with my son or go for a walk with him if the weather is nice enough.

    I am wondering myself if I should add something to the off days that I can do at home, like squats, etc.

    My exercise varies day to day. I like to change it up. Sometimes I walk, sometimes I go for a slow jog. I have several workout DVDs and I do what I can as I try to build up stamina. I'm trying to work up to being able to finish the 30 Day Shred, but I'm just not there yet, so I work on different things every day for now. I love my elliptical and would be lost without it.

    Exercise 5-6 days a week. Monday is a quick lifting day, all upper body(I am time limited on Mondays)
    Tuesdays and Thursdays are 30-45 minutes of cardio(bike, treadmill, or outdoors when the weather warms up) followed by 45-60 minutes of lifting, Tuesdays are legs and Thursdays are Total body
    Wednesdays are 30-40 minutes of cardio and 30-45 minutes of lifting, focus on accessory muscles(shoulders, hip flexor/extensors, and stabilizer muscles of the back/abdomen)
    Core muscles daily for those 4 days as well.
    Friday and/or Saturday are strictly cardio - walking/running outdoors as weather and my energy level permits.
    Sundays are off days....rest, relax and recover.
