I do different kinds of exercise – cycling, jogging, step aerobics and circuit training.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good playlists/songs/CDs for any of these kinds of workout? Maybe rhythmic songs with a steady (and fast) beat?

Thanks very much

I don’t know if you’re into pop/rock/alternative but if you are try The Last Goodnight’s new CD, Poison Kiss-awesome songs with invigorating beats and funky tunes. Also, the new song by Finger 11, Paralzyer, is great too.

It’s still ice cold outside, and I don’t belong to a gym- What is a good exercise routine i can do at home? I have 2 forty pound dumbbell weights….I need to lose weight- shoudl I do jumping jacks? Running in place?

Just pick up some 3-10 pound dumbbells at Target or Walmart – they’re fairly inexpensive. Use those for toning your upper body. For your lower body you don’t really need any equipment, you can do lunges and squats for your legs and buttocks, and do crunches for your abdomen. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I1G…

Here’s a set of dumbbells that go from 2.5 pounds to 12.5 pounds:

You will also need to add some cardio exercises. There are a lot of exercise shows on TV, or you can buy DVDs, or just go for a walk. A fun way to do cardio is by getting one of those mini trampolines and running on it while watching TV. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Q6J…

Here a great article on portion control and exercise:
