Thanks Wahine & RNR. This is really helpful, and thanks Wahine for the ITB stuff.

I have been wondering if what I am hoping to do is just all too much, but as you both said, maybe I can combine some things...strength classes with cardio, etc.

Have been wondering if my goals are not compatible with each other.

Sorry I dumped so much info out there in my long question. I have just been feeling a little boggled.
