    I have different favorites for different reasons...

    With my trainer, I love to do boxing because I get to punch her for making me do all the things I hate. :devil:

    For cardio, I love tap dancing. I burn so many calories in an hour of tap dancing (avg 450-600) and it definitely keeps the heart rate up!

    For overall toning and strength, I love pole dancing. My muscles have so much more definition since I started it. :blushing:

    I still love the good old fashioned outdoor run. When you're off, it sucks, but when everything gels... it feels amazing!

    Well I'm just getting back into 'working out'. I just started Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. But I'm dumping it since Body Revolution just arrived, which I hope I love!
    But my favorite cardio is riding my Trikke (which is a 3 wheeled 'scooter' you stand on and propel it with your own momentum of shifting back and forth). Its so much fun, and its a full body workout with low impact. I am beginning to see some definition on my upper back (though there's still alot of 'fluff' I gotta get off my back).
    I also enjoy riding my hybrid bike around town/the waterfront.

    30 DS....lots of jumping huh??? This may sound weird to some...but i'm sure some of the ladies will agree with me....but being 'larger' should I say on top....'jumping around' isn't something I like to do when i'm working out. Lol. I was seriously considering purchasing the 30DS...but I'd have to put on 3 sports bras!
    I think my favorite exercise has got to be my treadmill. Kind of boring I know...but I get on it every morning at 10am, while watching Dr. Phil. Lol. I love the increasing my incline and speed every 5 minutes and really working up a sweat. Maybe once I lose a little more weight there will be other activities I like as well...but right now...i'm a treadmill girl :)

    Weight lifting. By far it is my favorite thing at the gym to do. I used to love going to group classes but since I started lifting I'm totally addicted to it.

    I enjoy running from a mile to 2 miles. I'm also on Day 6 of the 30DS. I felt as if the first two days were easy. I didn't feel tired or sore the next morning. On Day 3 onwards, I started putting my all into it and I have been feeling slightly sore every morning. I am already starting to see results! I can't wait until the 30th day!
