You guys are a hoot!!! :-) I used to go to the gym all the time when I was younger and then, over here, it became like a business and so expensive...

They get into the shopping malls and it is like being in Bali, they follow you around pressurizing you to join their gym "and this week only (don't you just love all the sales talk??) it will only be $500 for the year instead of $750!" And I get a free plastic drink bottle!!!

I have found that I can get the same results walking a loop around here. I have found the perfect walk!!!!!! I firstly get momentum going, then the hill hits!!! Oh man, that hill kills, it keeps me puffing for 10 minutes or so, then it peaks and I keep walking fast to keep the heart going and then it starts to come back down the hill gradually, and eventually back around to where our house it. I have several short cuts but I never take them. I have found my fitness go through the roof doing that walk every day, and if I am not up to it time wise, even three times a week is great. Takes about half an hour. I guess we are just lucky to have the nice walking and the hill!!! OMG the hill... But the birds and the fresh air make up for it!

Then when I get home... I have ten minutes of stretching that I do and I feel fantastic... and the best part is... it costs me $0!!!

Then again I am completely self motivated..... sheesh I must sound like a but really I am more like a who wants to stay alive for longer to haunt you all!!!!!!
Wooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
You didn't think you would get rid of me that easily did you???
hehehe
