Tai chi twice a week, its pretty low intensity but you'd be surprised how much your muscles work to move your body smoothly & slowly. I try to get at least 2 hours/week of walking and/or aerobics. Hubs & I like DDR/In the Groove, the weeks I don't get around to a good session of that or a good long walk, I have a workout DVD. Over the summer I swim.
I have an hourglass shape, and normal to slightly low metabolism. I have to keep an eye on what I eat all the time, or make myself work out intensely to maintain my weight.
I think I'm going to try tai chi. It's pretty similar to yoga if I'm not mistaken.
My body is quite stiff so I could benefit from it for sure.
And ah, DDR. So fun and it really is a great workout. I'm not too good at it though, but I guess that doesn't matter anyway, lol.
Do you have major cravings for junk food usually?
I barely ever have anything around my place so even if I wanted to pig out, I'm not able to.
Guess it's a good thing sometimes, but I do need to gain weight.
Its very yoga-like. There are several styles, and some are more meditative than others, though. My gym switches styles every year, and next year will be Fu style, which is very combat-focused.
DDR is a great workout! Even if you're not an amazing player, getting up and moving is the important part. Actually, I get a better workout with a more endurance approach; doing a lot of songs at a lower difficulty as opposed to doing just a few of the harder ones (b/c then I get tired fast and want to stop)
I definitely get junk food cravings. I don't keep any junk in the house, though, so it makes it hard to give in. But, if I really really want something junky, I've found its better to let myself have a little than to ignore it, because I'll eventually give in and the longer I waited, the more I want to indulge. If that makes sense....
