This may seem like a weird way to work out but it works

I have been a single parent since my child was 2 and have always abhorred the idea of keeping my child in day care longer just so I could go to the gym - I also couldn't just leave her alone in the house while I went for a run....so I get up early every morning and jog around my kitchen!! I just put on my iPod and run (very small but very quick) laps for 30 minutes. My co-workers have laughed at me for years, however I am now 47 years old and still in the same size 8 clothes that I have been in since high school!! I have never 'dieted' and I have never had the weight problem that they have all been battling for at least the last 12 years!! My child is now old enough (14) that I could leave the house or go to the gym, but this has always worked for me and it doesn't cost me a gym membership! Do what ever works for you!!!

Its not what you do, its that you do it. Most of my cardio is sitting on a bike reading. :drinker: It works for you and you get it done.:drinker:

I also often jog inside the house for various reasons and I have an exercise room with weights and benches and a DVD player and etc. to do weights, yoga and other workouts. I do also walk and jog outside, but I gave up paying gym fees a few years ago, plus no need to waste time driving there, although sometimes it is fun to take a class.

It actually doesn't seem weird at all to me for you to jog in place and do other things in the house. It takes no room or special equipment to get a good workout and certainly no gym or personal trainer, although those can be extras.
