What did you do for exercise today?

Time to resurface this thread to help encourage everyone for their New Year's Resolutions! It's always helpful/encouraging to see others getting fit!

What I did today: Woke up & did 45 minutes of yoga & 15 minutes of ballet bar exercises.

My new plan (my old one was so boring I could hardly be forced to do it) for exercise & fitness includes:
- Trying to get into yoga a bit and integrating that with my old ballet exercises. One of my main goals is to just tone up my legs and get them back to where they used to be when I was a ballerina/cheerleader/gymnastics coach. I actually found a good Youtube video for beginners with the yoga stuff in it so it gives me something to follow.
- A "Gym Day" where I actually trek down to the gym and do some time either on the bike or elliptical for cardio/endurance & also hope to mix this with a little bit of light weights. Possibly thinking of this as separate days, but I know I won't want to go down to the gym all the time, especially in the snow & not to mention I don't have time for this each day.
- Walking. Once it gets nice out I'm definitely going to have a morning walk. I live right beside a very large park.
- Aerobics. Either on the Wii or finding a YouTube video to follow

Since getting bored and dreading the boredom is something that throws me off a lot, I'm going to mix these things up over various days.
Here's too a new fitness plan & hoping I can make it work! Good luck to everyone else who's got related resolutions as well!

I recently started a 30 day Bikram yoga challenge. I'm on day 3 and I think I'm a bit nuts. Ninety minutes of hot yoga every day is super challenging!

I just started the same thing! I am currently alternating between loving it and questioning what I got myself into.

I always question myself halfway through the standing series! I went 3x a week when I was in grad school, but where I live now had no studio until last month. My body hates me right now, but I'm excited to stick with it.
