I joined the YMCA. I'm not a "class" type of person. I like to go in, do my work out and leave. I am the whitest white girl you've ever met - meaning I cannot dance, so I don't do Zumba or any of the classes.

I normally walk a mile around the track, then I do 10 sets of 10 on most of the machines. I'm trying to concentrate on my abs, thighs and "bingo arm". Then I do 15-20 minutes on the stationary bike, then another mile or so on the track, then I treat myself to weighing in in the locker room before I go home. They have all kinds of classes, but again - I'm just not into any of it.

I can feel a HUGE difference in my body. This might be a little TMI, but my husband says that my body/sex has really changed since I started working out. That thigh master is amazing!

Reading both of your posts is just what I needed! I am about 2 months pre-surgery and I've been making eating changes, but I've yet to start any exercise habits. I live in Chicago- so we just had our 50 degree heat wave this weekend, but it's dipping back down to 0 this week. I love walking at my local park, but that's pretty much out of the question. I am not into the gym thing, but I may have to start hitting them up just to get on the treadmill.

Great post- thanks.
