    I find exercises classes work for me. Mainly Spinning and body attack as I enjoy them. I love swimming too - but I don't consider it as exercise as it is so fun :-D

    To steal someone else's genius phrase: fork put downers and table push aways!

    Oh and heavy lifting of course ;-)

    Cycling - it's no impact; you can make it as gentle or tough as you want; the scenery distracts you from the pain and the long steady distance rides get my mind into a state where time passes and I've done 30 miles without realising. On the other hand, I can do a short, sharp hilly ride for an hour on my way to work and that's my exercise for the day, I feel alert, buzzing and feel like I have achieved something.

    Walking is great too.

    I've discovered that I love cycling!

    Other than that, I love bench press too.

    For stress busting and endorphin rushes - running
    For being around other people without being annoyed - yoga
    For nice muscle definition and increased strength - weight training

    Shakology. Contact me, your friendly beach body coach, if you want more information.

    Is Shakology even an exercise thing? Does Shakology have an "e"? Should it have an "e"? Should it even be a word? What's that thing where women look like they're performing rude actions on a man? Is that the same thing?

    Oh, to answer the question, strength training, whilst the least efficient, seems the most effective in the long run. I've done circuit training/HIIT/kettlebell stuff in the past and it's time-consuming and not particularly fun. If I want to do cardio, I've got sports such as tennis and martial arts to do instead. Some kind of sport combined with lifting will more likely keep me interested for decades and keep me in good shape. :-)

    Whatever the question is, the answer is Squats and Deadlifts.
