Dance classes ARE way more fun than just the gym. If ballet isn't for you, try belly dancing. Seriously! Go to www.bellydancecolorado.com to see some student performances. All ages and sizes can enjoy this dance form. And fellas, you can dance too!
That being said, I only have dance class once a week. During the other days I also do water aerobics. Check your local community center to see if classes are available. I am very luck because my community center is within walking distance and only charges $2.50 per class.
My other exercise is the gym or walking. For the gym, I honestly could NOT do it without my iPod. I just have a Shuffle model (new ones around $69) but I have loaded it with fun disco, hip hop and pop music. If I just concentrate on the music, I can get through a 30 minute workout easily. If I forget my iPod, I am watching the clock the whole time muttering evil things to myself.
For the walking, I do it with a friend. While she is skinny, she has high blood pressure and needs to exercise so her head doesn't explode. We motive, nag, and help each other.
So...I got the exercise part down...and I have lost inches and do feel much better than I did before I exercised regularly. (Still Pissed off about the pounds not going away, but one thing at a time.)

It's great to see so many people starting or starting again to work out 
Myself, I just finished my "morning" workout again. At day three my muscles (or lack thereof 
) are starting to note there tiredness; not used to moving. Hopefully, they won't complain too much and I'll be able to get through to my week goal.
Yesterday I did do that walk. About 15 minutes brisk, picked up the wife, and about 20 mintues or so back.
There's another walk or two planned today. Got me some more stuff to do
Keep it up everybody

Okay, worked out yesterday afternoon after work.
- Walked 4 miles
- Worked out for 30 minutes w/ the weights
- Spent 20 minutes on the bike w/ hills programmed for resistance
- Spent 20 minutes on the treadmill
I was pretty wore out when I went home. Not too sore this morning. I am psyched to hit the gym again tomorrow. The wife & I are going to the park trails this afternoon to put in another 4-5 miles this afternoon.

I warned ya about the squats - but they're worth it. keep it up (with day of rest in between) and should notice a difference in a week or two...Think how good your nice toned legs will look in shorts this summer! On your rest days you can do yoga or cardio to keep the muscles loose. Like i said, I've been doing for almost a year, and my legs are in good shape but i still find it a hard track to get through!
Today i went to a Bodyflow class at 7am!! For the past month I kept saying "yeah I'll go to 7am class one day" Well I made myself a promise that that day was today. I got up in time, my doggies still got walked, and i didn't die from gettin' up that early! it was tough, but I did it!
I'll be in Jaynes bunk

So, on the bellet with no pain...I lied. OWWW!!! The front of my legs were killing me today. So, I guess riding horses only works PART of your legs. Sheesh. But it is still fun doing all the different positions I learned in class ( 
I wonder if Companions ever say that? ). I am going to get my ballet shoes tomorrow. Tonight I will go back to riding horses. Barrels today. I want to do calf roping again, but no rodeos are coming up.
Have gotten a book and tape on Tai Chi, will have to see how that goes next. And I had fun yesterday using my big cat, Stone-y-ford, as a weight. Believe it or not I thought of several different exercises using him.

You better be right or we're gonna have a problem:) Just kidding. So I didn't do the pilates, ran out of time, but at least I had good intentions! I do plan to either walk or do pilates tomorrow and then I'll have the weekend to get in some exercise. So, wish me luck! I congratulate all of you who have stuck with it this week:)

Does this mean that your cat should start exercising along with the rest of us

If only I could get him to. Silly kitty just sits around and does nothing. Got him another kitten to play with. Nope. Still nada. Maybe I should get him a kitty gym.
