I walk on a treadmill (five to six days per week) and do some weights (three days a week.) I am training for an annual walking relay - Portland to Coast - so this is more that I usually do. I hope to keep it up after the race is over. Being unemployed gives you the time to work out whenever you want. ;)

There are few people as strong as horse riding women.

There was one at my old school who could beat all the boys at arm wrestling. She had a six-pack at 14, too.

I will have to agree with you. My friends who also ride horses are muscled everywhere. Places that are more difficult for the average woman to tone.

I'm a firm believer in Body Weight Exercises > Chin ups , Push ups , Dips , Hand stand presses , Bent Knee Raises , but when it comes to working the lower body I do believe in weights but I use my Yukon Angled Vertical Leg Press for working my thighs and calves. I regularly use 5 pieces of exercise equipment , my Chin-Dip-Ab Tower, 45 Degree HyperExt. , Vertical Leg Press, Treadmill , and Heavy Punching Bag. It doesn't take a fortune to have a descent body, just desire and commitment , my biggest expense was my treadmill.

Id have to agree, I think they give me a greater range of motion which unscientifically I think is due to their greater usage of tendons so you don't have to much of an imbalance in muscle/ tendon size.

But I also like to switch it up a bit and do weighted body weight exercises like dips, pullups, and pushups, even bent knee raises.

Legs I think need to be stimulated with weights because they are such an important and powerful muscle just like the back.

Yoga, tai chi, dance of all sorts, walking (daily), bicycling, sit-ups, and a bit of weight-lifting and calisthenics when I remember to do it while watching tv/movies.

Crunches everyday since I was twelve, I stop sometimes though cause it looks kind of masculine.

Other than that you just put on michael jacksons billy jean and your body cannot help but move. It is exactlly five min long so if you dance to it for at least four times, which doesn't seem that long, you have your 20 min cardio.

Billy jean!

I remember when that was like my only CD. My parents were obsessed with Michael Jackson and by extension so was I. I can't say that I've ever danced to it though... Ok, Ok, when I was younger I used to. Good song.

I need to actually start up my exercise regimen, Ive been slacking for a long while now. I used to actually have a pretty decent routine as well. My staples were pretty much weighted push ups and pull ups, sprints, squats, rows and a little plyometrics.

It's time I get back to doing something active, though, I've lost like 7 pounds!!

Stationary Bike, Elliptical (20-30 min. on each)

Personal favorite- Rowing Machine (medium setting from 30min-exhaustion)- This is a very worthwhile workout for me. Once I hit a certain time (30-35min.) I can feel it.
