What Exercises Do You Do?

I have been doing really well with my walking and cardio schedule.  Have also added in some hand weights for light toning of my arms and chest.

I am really wanting to firm up my inner thighs and my stomach. 
What exercises are you all doing for those areas?  
 I have heard that Pilates are good but have only been to one intro class and can't remember a lot.
What about the Zumba dance classes?  Anyone tried it?

Leslie I have never heard of Zumba.  I have been doing squats and leg lifts for my inner thigh and trying to keep my butt from blending into my thigh.

Are there classes like that offered around the Prestonsburg area? I wish we had a YMCA or something like that around here. Do you walk the track at PCC--well now it's BSCTC?

Unfortunately I haven't found any Pilates.
I work with a lady that just got her certification and she did a class at work for us.

 I did see a sign up somewhere about a month ago about the Zumba dance class but can't remember where!!!!!

Yes, I walk that track!  Anytime you want to go, just let me know!

I do pretty much all of my exercise at the YMCA.  There's a circuit of 10 machines they created for me that works my lower body, upper body, abdominals and core muscles.  It takes me 40 minutes to make the whole circuit doing 2 sets of 12 reps each.  I then try to do no less than 30 minutes cardiovascular as well.  My goal for this is 3 to 4 days a week.

I'm thinking of adding a little more at home though to work on the batwings area and inner thighs.  For the inner thigh area go to walmart and buy a cheap bouncy ball.  Place it between your knees and squeeze (this was suggested by the YMCA trainer and likened to the old thighmaster gadget!)
