It's always nice to get new ideas. Every other day I hit the gym. I do strength training for 35 mins and 30 mins of cardio(treadmill, elliptical, bike pedaling). But I like find new fun things to do. So what's your work out schedule?

What is so popular about zumba? I know its a dance exercise but somethijng must be new about it to set it from other dance exercises
I dont know about other dance classes but Zumba is REALLY fun. For me, i think its the mix of the different types of dances that interest me. Latin style salsa mixed with a little hip hop and some jamaican flare. At least thats how it is for my class! You burn a TON of calories for the hour of work
M: walk 30 minutes, strength training
T: (AM) spinning, (PM) run 45 minutes
W: spinning
Th: swim 30 minutes
F: walk 30 minutes, strength training
S: run 4-5 miles
Su: swim 30 minutes
This past month I have been doing spinning classes at a local gym and some basic weight lifting, toning exercises that I found in the Oxygen magazine (I am sure they are in many other places including the net for free). At any rate, I started out at 3 spin classes a week and last week I did 4 spin classes (each class is 45 minutes and I get my heart rate up to 85% -I check on my heart rate monitor.) The other days I have been doing the elliptical, and other aerobic movement machines they have at the gym-one being a machine that simulates roller blading(that I could never attempt in the street as I would fall and kill myself). I also have gotten videos for home that I will start using soon, and since there is a big snowstorm tomorrow, that will be a good opportunity.I have been going the gym 5 to 6 times a week.
My stats are :61 years old, 5'2" (on my good days), started at 156 pounds and down to 151 in one month.Goal would be 139.
Eating plan is one I developed myself-cut out sweets totally, limited carbs and eating alot of veggies and protein, and H2O.
Hope this helps someone out there who is struggling to get motivated. I know that all the posts helped me immensely.
Just starting this... going good so far. Haven't done the weights yet... I'm not entered into the computer yet. I've been going to the YMCA every day though... feeling great.
