I joined the local YMCA - its in a pretty middle/upper middle class neighborhood so security and getting there is easy (I can run there from my house).

Besides trying to to 30m of cardio on monday and friday, they have a wednesday morning Insanity class - 1 40-minute session following the insanity time schedule (5x 30second workouts, 30sec rest period....etc...I forget the rest. I sweat buckets.

Been doing it for 6 months and I am still surprised ("its over already?") when she starts into the cooldown routine...to me that makes it a good workout.

I can run on a treadmill for 30 or 40 mins if I feel the need. But those TV's and captions or music are necessary. Running around where I live (stereotypical suburb) is easy and reduces the need for music.

I used to be into Tae Kwon Do (same YMCA...) Had to stop due to kids/money. I miss that a lot, good workout, good people, good emphasis on flexibility and precision.
