Make Exercise a Priority in 2007
If you have put off exercising another year, make it a goal to be certain to exercise in 2007. It's important to your health.
Adding aerobic exercise 4 - 5 times a week and strength training 2 - 3 times a week will make a world of difference in the way you feel and look.
I'm going to start adding a lot of useful information here to help you get in shape but, to get you started right away, I want you to visit my website at http://www.tudefitness.com

Workouts to Shape You Up!
Blast Your Muscles - Use a Swissball - More!
Pilates on the Swissball
1. Lie face up with legs extended and heels on Sissel Exercise ball. Inhale. Exhale, drawing bellybutton to spine and chin to chest. 2. At the same time, lift torso off floor until you are balanced on your sitting bones and arms are extended to ceiling.
3. Extend spine in neutral position. Inhale as you balance on sitting bones and exhale as you roll down to starting position.
Exercising the Abdomainals
Lifting weights doesn't appeal to everyone. Bodyweight exercises can accomplish basically the same thing. Do your body weight exercises on a swiss ball and your potential to increase your muscle tone and fitness level explodes. Spine Twist on Swiss Ball
Core Exercise
1. Sit in an upright position on a stability ball with your feet flat on the floor.
2. Hold your arms out to the side and slowly rotate your shoulders and trunk to the left side and then back to the right.
3. Your trunk and shoulders should stay together as one unit. Repeat.
Baby Lunges
1. Hold your baby close to your chest and stand in a split squat stance.
2. Proceed to lunge down until your knee almost touches the floor.

Interval Training
Not so. Anyone can begin to do interval training, although it is highly recommended you first get a doctor's ok.
In it's simplest form, you simply incorporate short periods of runs into your walking program. You simply run until you begin breathing hard, then walk.
Intervals at it's best allows you to have a more intense workout and actually shorten your workout time. Referred to by many as HIT - High Intensity Training, you warm up, then sprint for a period of time, say 20 seconds, followed by jogging slowly or walking to recover. The recovery is short, in this case maybe twice the sprint duration.
Repeat about 8 times and cool down and your workout is done.
This is highly effective but you obviously would need to build up to this intensity level.
I'll get into this a little more in later posts.
