    I HATE to work out, but I've found Zumba- and love it! I actually look forward to my class. You can probably find a local class, or you can get a bunch of videos off Youtube. I usually burn around 1000 calories during a 1 hour class. Good luck finding something you like!

    What about videos from the library or online, those are free. You can also google workouts at home and probably find some good workouts that don't require a lot of equipment.

    Oh yes Zumba is really good, but don't slack on the moves!! When they shake their butt...get into it!! A workout for the dumbells you have is something we do at our gym called a pump it up class...sycronize your moves with music...make sure to do a lot of squats and lunges with the weights! I can get you the name and number of my instructor, and see if she'll make you a video or something! It is awesome, and you know you're getting an awesome burn because you're sore everytime after!!

    Walking is free, and you can do it anywhere!! Use your weights for resistance, and to tone your arms! Check out your local gyms, and see if you can get a free pass to "try" it out-you may end up loving it!

    Good luck!

    Youtube 'zumba' plenty of workouts there!! It gets you mega sweaty, you can burn up to over 600 cals per 45 mins! Its a real good excercise.. It works best on the 'muffin top' if you have one. Ive noticed mines slowly going down! And ive only been doing 45 mins everyday for about 10 days now! So it defo works! And i lost 3lbs this week from a decent diet and zumba every day!!

    Thanks everyone for the zumba idea. I will defiantly look into trying it. I'm not much of a dancer and tried the Wii zumba game this evening and it made me sweat so much and i know i wasn't even doing the moves right lol. (:

    You know what is so funny at our class our instructor is so little you can't see her from the back, so we randomly move around crazy just to burn the calories! After a few times you start to learn the moves!!!
