It really is a good workout!<br /><br />MMS- If we don't enjoy it, we just aren't going to stick with it. We are lucky with the weather around here- until it gets really hot. I just go out there before the sun comes up.<br /><br />Lisa- Walking is fun and running is a blast!

I've tried numerous gyms, and did manage to stick it for a year at a time, but now I use my Wii-Fit when the weather isn't good, and my step machine and exercise bike (and weights for my arms). But I also love walking by the sea when the weather is dry, and will walk for about 8 miles or so.

I normally go to the gym and alternate between upper body and lower body each day but I find after a month or two that my body gets use to it and the workout doesn't seem to work for me.

This might even vary depending on weather, season etc. My first choice is bike riding but sometimes the weather doesn't permit that (raining or too hot!) so there's always the indoors - a video or the treadmill. :)Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-42939344734262796862012-04-26T10:03:19.826-04:002012-04-26T10:03:19.826-04:00I´m going to try Pilates for the first time this F...I´m going to try Pilates for the first time this Friday.

And Hiking in England is my favorite form of exercise. :-) And you're so right - that exercise, especially OUTDOORS, whether walking, running, raking, whatever, so improves the mind and the mood!
