We all know that nutrition is a big part of weight loss, but exercise is also important.

What type of exercise (dvds, walking, etc.) have you done as part of your weight loss journey?

    Walking mostly! It clears my head. I love it and it's easy to do.

    The deadlift. Not for weightloss. I exercise for sport/fitness.

    I remember being a teenager and doing workout tapes... buns of steel, Cindy Crawford, Richard Simmons. I would also go for long walks.

    When I was old enough, I joined a gym and was obsessed with the stair master. The elliptical had just come out. My gym had 3 and a 10 minute time limit cause it was so popular. Then I discovered step classes - loved step! Tried a few spin classes too.

    After college I joined a gym in a new city and discovered kickboxing and plyometrics classes. Did a little bit of running.

    I moved to San Diego and started running regularly. It's pretty much all I do now.

    Running. It's like walking, but you get to see more scenery and stay warmer. I like lifting too because it translates over to real life and being able to pick up heavy stuff and open jars is awesome. I used to like cycling before I moved to the mountains. I might have to buy a mountain bike and try it again come spring.

    Dancing since I'm a dancer. Sometimes (ok ALL the time ) ill put my earphones in, blast the music and have a mini party.. .in my head. I burn like a 1000 calories without trying. I can dance for hours and never get bored. Or sometimes ill learn a new dance. Kpop is my fav. ive learned the dance to call me baby by exo, I got a boy by snsd and right now im trying to learn 'rough'by gfiend. Them kpop dances will have you drenched in sweat but they're so fun!
    If I had a pool I would do laps. I love swimming...the chlorine in pools just don't agree with my hair and the uv rays don't agree with my skin. I also love Pilates. I do a few blogilates and fitness blender videos. I never run

    Hiking/backpacking in the mountains is my favorite. Others I like are kayaking (river not rapids) and shooting hoops.

    I don't do a lot of DVDs but I do like Zumba on DVD.

    Cycling followed closely by Olympic lifting...I recently started going to a rock climbing gym on occasion and I'm enjoying that a lot, but I can't afford to do it all the time...but it's a fun new hobby and I think I'm going to take a class so I can get off the auto-belay.
