Yes, great idea dancer9, I have been thinking of taking yoga. Stretching is really good for you and I don't do it enough. I believe there is also core work with yoga.

I've also been advised that mixing things up tricks your body. Doing the same exercise all the time (treadmill) will not do the trick. Your body just gets used to that. Why is our body this way so we have to out smart it?

I am going to walk a trail close to my house with up and down hills, go on the eliptical trainer at the gym, strength train and try yoga changing it up on different days.

I am also going to stop eating chocolate bon bons. For some reason they seem to put on weight :-)
