Gym - usually 4 times a week. Mix of cardio and weights. Sometimes swim after - always use the steam room .

Keep trying to get organised to try out some of the classes - used to do pilates which I loved.

Apart from that I do 20 min school run and not enough housework

I run 3x a week, my sunday run is up to 6.5 miles (am training for the Edinburgh Marathon) and my two midweek runs are 4 miles and 4.5 miles.

Spin is an aerobic exercise class on static tomahawk bikes.

Started to swim twice a week (1/4mile each time - nearly kills me ,but ill keep it up)and trying to walk further. Got too used to using the car.

Would like to do an aerobics class or such for the impact (got to build up bone density now im menopausal) , but all the jigging about makes me dizzy(balance problems).

will check out this thread for any good ideas i can pinch.

started running 3 x a week in august, it has made such a difference! i feel fitter, more toned and very smug

nothing 'organised' as it costs too much but I reckon walking to shops and lugging back shopping plus the lifting and manual handling dd requires (put my back out with a hideous pop today) counts as 'gym'.
Cycle as transport too.

What is a spin class?

DrNortherner · 28/10/2008 17:41

I do a spin class 3 or 4 times a week. Sun, Mon, Weds and Fri.

Go to gym twice a week and walk the dog. Never would have guessed though as I am still fat and lumpy.

I do a spin class and body conditioning!

None right now but do a pretty physically active job, on my feet all day, carrying heavy equipment, so that's my excuse I save a fortune on gym fees
