Speaking of which, can anybody recommend an exercise routine?

I have one but I think it takes too much time. Here's what I do, 5-7 days a week.

For an hour in the morning, the S.O. and I exercise to Gilad's aerobics and body sculpting shows. (He's really good, the only fitness instructor on TV I can stand).

After S.O. goes to work, about an hour later, I run in place for 20 minutes in combination with some hand weight exercises. I follow this with 30-40 situps and 40-50 pushups.

It's a good routine but like I say, it takes up some time. A good 90 minutes of the morning.

I also walk about 3 miles a day with the dogs.

Suggestions very welcome.
