[run4it]

I go to Fitness 360. It's near Delaware/Kenmore...across from Target Plaza.
It's pretty bare-bones....treadmills, elipticals, bikes, free weights and weight machines. Rarely have to wait to use any equipment. There are also yoga, 'boot camp', and spin classes available and included.

I pay $20/mo, though I think it's more for new members.

Well, this thread really took off.
OK--question for those of you who DO workout...what type of program do you do? Cardio? Strength training? etc...

[Sylvan]

I lift heavy logs and carry them up hills. Stack them. Then cut them to length and split them with a maul into smaller pieces and stack them again. Then I carry bundles into the house when I need them.

Forgot about the stretching component; very important. And, yes cardio, albeit monotonous, is a must. So, get moving BPP!

[run4it]

I do about 25-30 minutes of cardio 4-5 times a week (usually on the elliptical). I stretch (not enough) before and after most of the workouts. I do light weight training once or twice a week.

During the summer I do a LOT more cardio (I ride my bike to work) but less weight training as I'm not actually in the gym.

[bigpoppapuff]

i have a weight training program for you,run...real easy to do...and only two days/week...
