Active Participation. If you've decided that you want to be entertained while you exercise, you might try team sports: volleyball, basketball, badminton and tennis all guarantee good workouts. The problem, of course, is that team sports requires a team, and it's unlikely you'll find a group willing to get together more than once a week.
Some solo sports can be done alone or with a friend. Bicycle riding, swimming, walking, and jogging can all be boring after a while, but if you have a friend or neighbor with you, the miles will fly by as you talk about your day. Don't forget to stretch before starting out. And you snow bunnies in winter wonderlands might slip on a pair of skis or snowshoes and get a wonderful workout.
Yoga and Tai chi are popular with people trying to get in shape. Both are ways of exercising that incorporate centering activities such as breathing and focusing on a thought.
Going to the Gym
Your best approach is to combine a cardiovascular workout with strength training. For example, a 20 to 30 minute stint on the stair-climbing machine could take place before a round of weight training. Many gyms offer swimming, aerobics classes, and treadmills for variety.
All health clubs have professional trainers who can help you establish a routine of weight (strength) training. The point is to lift weights for your problem areas and also to work on all the muscle groups, from crunches for your abdominal muscles, to the squatting machine for your hips and thighs.
Staying Home
Many women work 30 to 40 hours a week - some have children or even take classes to further their career Not only can't these women afford a health club membership, but certainly can't afford to hire a sitter while running in the park.

Exercise and nutrition go hand in hand. In order to change the results you've been getting, more than likely, you ’ll also have to change what you've been eating. Try organic and natural foods, raw food, and limit processed food(mac & cheese, box dinners or heavy sauce bag dinners). Check out recipes here at 21st Century New. Also consider vitamins calcium, ester C, coQ 10 and maybe B complex - always check with your physician before making major changes! If you are medication check for drug interactions before taking supplements.
