Default Re: What a slap in the face

I still pretty much hate it, but I do it anyway.

Yes, a lot of older people do water aerobics, because it is low impact and there is lower risk of injury than other exercise.

I personally prefer to walk in my neighbourhood or cycle (stationary bike) at home, because I find going to the gym, changing, getting wet, showering, getting dressed & getting back home takes 3 times longer for the same workout.

Have you tried Yoga or Pilates? Take one or 2 classes to be sure you are doing it right, then get a DVD. I enjoy these more than other exercise. I mix this up with weight lifting and cardio for a mix of cardio/strength work.
