Let's ALL retire to New Mexico! So pretty.
I feel like a real weenie hearing about people riding, walking, etc., in the 30s and below. Maybe it's just my Alabama blood that's too thin!
So what are these Spinerval videos y'all are talking about? I'm guessing an exercise tape that you watch while on a stationary bike?

Well... apart from cycling (on the road or on a trainer...) I do aerobics and tai chi
I also work in a multistory building - does runnning up the stairs count? (I usually take the elevator down to save my knees)

walk downstairs backwards! and no I'm not kidding. actually try walking Upstairs backwards too......talk about a workout!
corsair "geez I can't type today" macLife should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Hey there Corsair... I walked backwards down the stairs every time yesterday (holding on tight to the rail - was worried I'd lose balance)... no knee pain! WooHoo!
BUT... I had to explain to several people that I wasn't crazy!!!

try skate skiing in the winter months
skate skiing was the best thing i found this past winter. for those of you how don't know what it is...it's kind of like cross country skiing, except the skis are a bit shorter and the motion is more like rollarblading.
it's a great whole body workout and it's also very aerobic. i found that it was much easier to get on my bike when the spring came around. My lungs didn't hurt as bad either. has anyone else tried it?
