I walk...& I walk everywhere. When I walk to kindy it is 12+km a day. Once DS3 is at school (2 weeks) I have a plan set up, I will walk the kids to school & then walk to the park (6km) & do a couple of circuits with the last one walk to the top, & then I will walk home again.
I have "The Biggest Winner" DVD set with Jillian & I really enjoy the kick boxing one but will do a different one daily as there are 5 of them. Then I will walk to school & get the kids. I am also going back to Zumba classes, I am not that coordinated but no one cares & you work up a real sweat going at the pace the instructors set...will have to go down the back till I relearn the moves again

I mainly use DVDs - Turbo Jam, Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and a 10min 'Hot Body' one. I'd like to get Turbo Fire (like Turbo Jam but more intense apparently).
I also have Zumba, but felt unco and frustrated so haven't really done it again. I can see how it can be fun - I've just got to stick it out! I actually just bought a Zumba pass off TreatME - 10 classes for $10. I thought I'd try it in a class as I may enjoy it more ... it might have more of a party feel, lol 
I have heaps of Windsor Pilates DVDs, but I don't enjoy them, so very rarely use them (should probably sell them!). I also walk a little bit, nothing comapred to what Jazzy does though!  ------------- DS 8 DD 6 DS 4 DD 2 |

oh dear - i walk the MIL's dog twice a week and thats about it. some walking to kindy and school but they are close so probably doesnt amount to much. Such a shame cause i used to do aquarobics - did it for years even when i was full term with Eden - and have done a pump workout and kimax too. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Ooh another challenge between you 2 huh? Good on you both!
I do think the 30DS is worth it. A couple of tips, keep an eye on your form and try to protect your knees (I've never had issues with my knees but if I'm not careful I feel it after the workout) and the biggest one - keep going, even if you can't keep up with the 'easy' level, keep trying! It's hard to start with, but it's amazing how quickly you improve. ------------- DS 8 DD 6 DS 4 DD 2 |

| For those in the Lower Hutt region, there are mums and bubs exercise classes being held in the region. You can take baby and/or toddler with you. They are run throughout the week. Do a google search to find the best time/day for you. |

I started with just walking as much as possible, We live rural too and I only had a 4 wheel pushchair so it was a bit hard without going into town to do it.
Then I got a really cheap 3 wheel pushchair on trade me and started walking down the farm race. I have a wii fit as well so sometimes do that, or wii your shape. I have zumba dvd's that I do occasionally and have just started running (well kinda doing the couch to 5k) 3 times a week as well. -------------  http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

I do running early in the morning,while dance and, swimming in the evening. It’s a healthy exercise for anyone out of which first 2 are easy for all to do. However, many people recommend to me join gym but that is not all time healthy for us. |
