Not a problem. I know these things can make you tense. Just try to relax, not all us skinny types are all bad. Who's going to crawl into the ventilation shafts after all manner of things if we're not around?

Aha...how does one define active? Well, what if we could say that being active could also include things that we wouldn't normally associate with physical activity. Such as vacuuming or sweeping or mopping or weeding or swinging or skipping. Do you do this every day? If not maybe it could be something to do to help you stay active. And if you ask my mom, she would say that anytime I clean my house it has to be a workout due to the mess.
'sides...we could also adapt the wording to so "Be active for a minimum of 5/10/whatever incriment".All that was merely a suggestion because it sounded like some poeple wanted a little more structure than "Let's get in shape people!" (Sorry. I have watched too many episodes of Home Makeover)
Tonight I am going to ballet class for the first time so I am going to count that as my activity. Yeah, freaking River and that dang shot in Objects.
But I must say my main motivation right now is a pic of Jayne saying "I want you!" That is enough to get my lust going and urge me to workout. Pathetic, I know.

Super
Some more ideas. How about getting a freind and going to an x dance class. The x could be, as in your case ballet, or perhaps swing, or ballroom, or whatever
Or one could even go alone. Hell, one might just meet someone and get some more... more fun exercise
There is also always these night classes through the local community center that would have the dance classes and a lot of other stuff too! I once took a Tai Chi class through something like that. Plus they're not expensive, so people on a budget would probably still be able to afford it
These things also have the benefit of being scheduled. So, it's pretty much guarenteed regular exercise
Other ideas?
Also, Persephone736, maybe you could edit your original post to add in peoples exercise ideas. Just so there is a central, here's a list of things you can do, right on the first post

A great place to pick up free exercise tapes and DVD's is your local library. Sure you have to return them, but you don't have to buy them, plus it has built in diversity. I know sometimes I get tired of the same old yoga poses or the same old routines.

Okay, I will be hitting the gym this afternoon. About time I blew the dust off of the old membership & put it to use. Haven't been in like five weeks. Always some excuse or another. Something always demanding my attention or not feeling up to it.
I will be there today though.
I'll weigh in & let everyone know how it goes.

So I had to report in on my experiences with ballet. Apparently riding horses makes one's legs in good shape for ballet. Yeah, I was able to contort my legs fairly decently and the squats were somewhat easy...until I let go of the bar...eeek. And no pain this morning. Everyone said I would feel it, but nothing.
Now I need to find another gorram activity to help out.

Back in the saddle again!
Woo hoo!
Bless you all, this thread has been so encouraging.
Went for a good bike-ride yesterday (wow, am I out of shape, that simple little ride almost killed me!) Woke up at the crack of dawn this morning and rolled out of bed a good 24 minutes later. Did some light lifting just to get my body used to lifting again. Feelin' great right now.
Woo hoo! 
Shiney.

Shiney! Ballet is such a wonderful art, so nice to watch.
As for another activity, may I recommend a Martial Arts of some sort? There are a variety of styles to pick from to suit your tastes and the flexibility, tone, and strength you gain in each activity will transfer over to help with the other activity. Not to mention being able to defend yourself should you find yourself in a dark alley with an evil operative some day = very good.
Just visit some classes and see what you like best. Tai Chi, though not as fighting oriented, would really go well with ballet.
