I hate running, and I'm usually up in the wee hours of the night... but I jump rope, between each set, and that really gets your heart pumpin! Hope that helps :D -------------- Irish

In the last week I have lost 3lbs. watching what I eat, drinking tons of water and dancing. That's all I have for now. I don't have the finances to buy equipment. I do 45 mins. non stop. This might not work forever, but it will get me moving and burning calories.
