This Week's Workout Overview

Fitness magazine had me take this quiz to find what workout is right for me. The results? and Indo Board. Unsure of what that is? Take a look below:

Clearly Fitness Mag does not care that I have minimal coordination skills and cannot balance when walking on the sidewalk, nevermind this flat board on a tube thing they call a workout.

Since it does not look like I am in the mood to get a replacement hip just yet, I will stay away from the Indo Board and fill you in on what I have actually been doing for workouts this week.

Monday- Walk on an incline for 30 min./Bike for 10 min./Run a mile (to yoga)/Take Yogaburn (60 min)/Run a mile home

Quick Body Fix?

A little more about me.
My parents are from South America and genetics have blessed me with a relatively flat stomach and rather large hip/butt/thigh region.

I know that dieting is the key to weight loss... but I hate dieting and am not happy doing it.
So I have this running/toning program that should work, but without dieting I am not sure how many inches will actually fall off.

I keep running into these "Quick Fixes" and I was wondering if with exercise, anyone has actually seen results from these "Body Toning" cremes.

I used to not even consider these magical cremes and gels, but as they keep appearing I am becoming intrigued. Please comment :-)
