I actually prefer an outdoor workout, but it really gets too hot fast here. I am trying to walk on a regular basis, but now I am trying to figure out the *when*. For quite a few years walking was what I did in the morning as I get up, but now I have obligations early in the morning. I guess I'll be hopping onto a treadmill at home mid-afternoon!
I walk (when the weather and my blistered heels allow) 20 minute or one mile every day in the neighborhood. When teh weather gets really really bad (like now), I will go back to the gym's indoor track.
I do walk away the pounds and I walk outside with my little one. I'm so thankful she's still little enough to fit into her front to back carrier. :-) But now that the weather is getting colder I have to exercise indoors because I can't keep taking her outside in the cold unless I really bundle her up. She loves being outside though so that's something we have in common :-) The most recent walk away the pounds dvd I've been using is the 5 Mile Slim Down. It's so great cause you don't have to do all 5 miles at once and at the end of each mile Leslie does a boosted walk/light jog. It really bumps up the calorie burn :-) So far I've been doing 2 miles but I'm going to bump it up to 3 miles soon. :-)
