I know we struggle trying to finish a particular exercise move or circuit, but it seems like once you can finish a workout strong you start to love certain moves and begin to push yourself to a whole new level because you have confidence... so here is my question...

What is your favorite exercise move/circuit and why?

I love any type of push ups and running....

Push-ups because it works the whole body.. I am not at the point of doing a "perfect push up".. My butt is still up in the air and I do not go down as far as Shaun T, BUT I can feel everything working and I see results!

Running because I was fat my whole life and i sat on the side lines eating nutty bars (does anyone remember those? Dang they are good!) and now I COMPETE in 5k runs and am currently training for my first 1/2 marathon, and I can say I AM A RUNNER!

    I also have to say I love running - particularly trail running. No watch, no i-pod, no HR Monitor. Just me, mud, nature and my breathing.

    Water aerobics! If you haven't tried it, you should... It is WAY harder than it looks, easy on joints, overall total body workout and with weights and gloves on I can burn 800 calories in one hour. Not to mention even though I am sweating I don't feel like I'm sweating, so I can continue to push hard through the full hour.

    reverse crunches, I love feeling the burn and knowing that it'll make my abs strong under my low down 'mommy pooch'.

    Kettle bell swings.... they work as a cardio... but also work your hamstrings, quads, core, arms... everything. the best bang for your buck!
