Great job Mackenzie!
It's hard to go back after time off, but you'll be back in the swing of things in no time!

I do free weights, machines, and cardio. For example, today I worked on my chest and triceps. First was an 8 minute warmup on the stairclimber, then did about 5 chest and tricep exercises with 3 sets of 8 with heavier than usual weights..then did 25 minutes of treadmill on a level 7 incline at 3.5 kms/hour.
But everyday is different..I have 3 different workouts. Legs/lowerback, biceps and middle back, and then chest and triceps.
My favorite of all time is my leg workout..I do walking lunges all the way around a track with 10lb weights..It is AWESOME for your bottom half (mine tends to be larger than my top half
Anyway sorry to have rambled on, I get excited
Good job for going Mackenzie!! I really need to work out, especially b/c I am going to be super busy with work/school days at the hospital and will need the stress relief. But I don't have the money to join a gym, and the school one sucks and is always really really crowded. I have several workout tapes, but can never be motivated enough to actually do them here!
I really need to find a way to get motivated though, b/c with a wedding coming up (....well...atleast in the next year or two) I need to get my butt in shape!
Natalie, I need someone like you here to teach me step by step, I'm really bad at all this stuff!!

Usually when I go (Depending on how busy it is) I do the either the tredmill/eliptical for 2 miles for a warm up and then usually bike for another 5 miles- its usually SO busy in there thats all I can get on.
But once I get the winter schedule, I'm going to start swimming laps again, which is the best workout ever! Plus, its fun!
