is there anything else i can add i don't really like running but i could

main question Any other exercises i should add on

Leg lifts (and be creative with them) and wall sits...but frankly I however AM a fan of running and can honestly say that I was in my best competitive shape while running fairly long distances (upwards of 5 miles a day) now I try to at the very least use the elliptical for 20 minutes a day if I can't get outside.

Like Mr Top Hat I'm not a fan of running, what can I do to improve both my strenght (legs) and my physique in general?

[Lady Quindecim]

Cycling is a good alternative to running.
Swimming too, but it is harder to drown while cycling, unless doing it in a pool.

[Patrician]

Maybe doing it in a pool, cycling that is, will get my muscles working a bit?

[Lady Quindecim]

Although I hear doing it in hot tubs is popular, I am not going to bring it up because I think it would be off toppic.
.
I have a stand for my bike so I can ride inside when it is toooooo nasty out.

[Mr. Top Hat]

hmm i never saw bike riding as exercise i use to do about a 6 mile trip once a week on the high way to the gas station and back maybe i could start doing it for work out because i find it fun.

well thanks for posting u can keep posting if u want ill still check up on the thread.

bike riding is a great choice of exerxise if your looking for something easy on your knees

There is also a difference in how one cycles - all are exercise - but my Sunday afternoon rides are very different if I am out with my son or doing 30 miles by myself.

You gotta change your routine every once in a while or else you'll get bored with your routine. For example: instead of doing situps, lay down with your back to the floor and raise your legs (keep them straight) and your head and upper body above the floor to make a "V" shape. try to hold that for a minute. or instead of doing squats or lunges, climb stairs.

Change it up so you won't get bored.

yea that might be a good idea later on and thanks because i hadn't thought about that
