I like elliptical machines. I like the challenge of the machines with arms as well as the speed that I can achieve with the "armless" ones.

Do you have one of those fridges where you can adjust the tension on the door, so that you can do sets of fridge-door openings with different amounts of resistance and repetiton combinations?

3 Sets of Fridge-Door-Opening ( Biceps )
1st set: 10 reps with 30 lbs
2nd set: 8 reps with 40 lbs
3rd set: 6 reps with 50 lbs

Can you set the door to resist closing so that you can work the triceps too by pushing it shut against resistance?

3 Sets of Fridge-Door-Closing ( Triceps )
1st set: 10 reps with 30 lbs
2nd set: 8 reps with 40 lbs
3rd set: 6 reps with 50 lbs

deadlifts

Squatting too. If I could just do 3 exercises from now on, it would probably be DL, squats and dips. That's more than enough to keep your whole body strong and muscled up. Heavy, compound, whole body movements do it.

My favorite exercise is steep trail hiking. Nothing better than being outdoors in the "wilderness" on a tough 2-3 hour hike.

I also enjoy running putting time in on the heavy and speed bags.

I love to walk and run, but yoga is my favorite. It helps me maintain my center. I don't like weights and wish I could get more into it but I hate gyms and wouldn't know where to start at home.

Swimming. You've got four or five strokes to choose from and I love how I feel after a good workout.

I like the jogging/running and walking best because I can absolutely do it everyday (no matter what the weather is) and I never get tired of it. They're my favorite ways of exercising...I love it...
