Due to thryroid and adrenal gland difficiencies, I experienced sudden and rapid weight gain. I am now taking medication, but still have weight to lose. I joined an exercise "boot camp" for women in an effort to jump start a regular exercise program. The particular program I joined is self-paced, therefore accomodates all fitness levels. The atmosphere is very positive and we truly have fun as we work to improve our health and bodies. Oh, and the instructor is HOT!!! So that's pretty motivating, lol! Seriously though, I just feel better exercising. My results have been slow in coming due to the hormone issues, but I am seeing some changes in my body, so that also helps me keep my daily commitment. Callanetics are terrific toning exercises - they also help relieve stress and tension. Oh, and they work fast....
