I do my treadmill in the evenings after the kids are in bed and hubby leaves for work (he works overnights).  I do 5 minutes of warming up/stretches, at least 40 minutes briskly walking at a steep incline and then cool down/stretches another 5 minutes. (((Hugs))) Michelle

A steep incline huh?  cool!  I look at hills when I'm walking and only can think how thankful I am when I'm at the top!  lol When I go back to work on the 7th I"ll be walking again at night on my break.  I know it helps keep me awake for the night. Thanks for the input! *hugs*

I go to the club and do a one hour class of many types.  I like to mix it up.  Tonight I am doing water aerobics for my first time.  :O)   Wed. morning I will do a class, but usually it is in the evening.  When I am teachng full time during the school year I have to do it at night.  Now there is more flexibility and I just find a variety of classes I like and that makes me work hard!  :O) Good to see an exercise post..........I am always so caught up in what I should be eating........like to remember the exercise!  :O)

I thought about joining a club but the one thing I want to do (swimming) is downtown and would be a real *blank* to get to each day. I seriously thought about saving my pennies (nickels, dimes and $20s) and investing in one of those soft sided lap pools.  What types of classes do you take?  I may have to look into stuff around here... seems there are so many of those 24 hour fitness things and nothing actually structured... *hugs*

I go to LifeTime Fitness. When I started out  I did lots of lap swimming on my own.  Now, I never do that for some odd reason.  Some of the classes I go to are: total conditioning, strike (a class that uses weighted gloves as you move)  a few different weight lifting classes, a class called core (really works on your deep muscles.....I'm still hoping mine are in there somewhere!)  kickboxing, water aerobics, soul grooves.   I have found that I just have to go move in these classes.  Some of the moves are really hard, but as long as my heart rate monitor shows that I am in my range, I am happy!  :O) It feels so good to get in the swing of this!     Let us know if you find a place to go!
