I take aerobics every M-W-F. There's a couple of "cheerleader types" in the class who just make you sick but the rest of us are all doing the same speed and we love it. I found out at my book signing party on Saturday that our aerobics instructor is 60!!! When he told the group at the party, my mouth dropped. I knew he was older but I would've never guessed that. It's obviously a credit to his exercising! He's a hoot and we love him to death. I'm planning to post some pictures from the party to my website and I'll let you know so you can see him.

In addition to aerobics, I do the steps at Wallace Wade stadium on the Duke University campus. There's about 3000 steps in all. I keep pushing because if I sat and did nothing, I'd probably be over 200 lbs and for my height, that would be very, very BAD.
