Yes, I do a bunch of little 30-45 minute stints of workouts.... I'll go to the gym to weight train (40 mins) come home do some housework/laundry, go for a run (30-40 mins), in the summer time I will go for a leisure bike ride or in the winter (lately) I will do some Yoga... or go swimming in the afternoon....

Don't you get too tired?
A resounding YES, but I'll often cat nap here and there for 15-20 mins, even 5 min nap helps or I go to bed earlier because I am exhausted after all, from doing all this activity...... BUT I have to tell you that the more active I am the more energy I have... Granted I don't do this every single day but sometimes I will do it every second or third day.... You also have to eat to nourish your body, so you have to eat clean and unprocessed ... Oh and BTW I am 51 yrs old, no spring chicken

I have been trying to take the stairs at work in addition to working out - does that count as a work out?
I wouldn't call it "working out" per se, but it is being active and burning extra calories, so yes it all counts...

I want to start lifting little weights.
Don't wait to start weight training, some of our biggest losers here at 3FC, Mel and Meg, have done weight training from the get go because when you have muscles you burn calories while being inactive and that's a very good thing

I am hoping that the kick boxing will tone my arms...
It will tone your whole body but I would consider kick boxing more of an aerobic activity and that will burn the fat off to expose the beautiful muscles you've developed from doing some weight training...
Hope this helps... Have fun working out, because it really IS about having fun
