xOCarrie answered Monday February 14 2005, 2:26 am: I dont really know what your drive would be on getting you to work out more - i just enjoy working out thats my motive but good work out consists of running a lot. Running really helps you stay in shape. Also stretching before you run so you dont hurt yourself. I also like to do push ups and sit ups after i run - 3 sets of 20 of each of them. It really helped me get in shape. Good Luck! [ xOCarrie's advice column | Ask xOCarrie A Question ]

Also good is kick-boxing- you really work up a sweat. Or there's always good old Richard. [ rainbowsend's advice column | Ask rainbowsend A Question ]

wantinganswers112 answered Sunday February 13 2005, 11:06 pm: i would just get out and run. I play basketball and we do down and backs, deffence shuffles, and backpedal. Do like, 1 down and back, and then deffence shuffle to the opposite base line and then back pedal back. Do like 5 to start out on your first time and work your way up as you go. The good thing about this simple stuff, is that it can be done really fast and it still gets the job done. Good luck! [ wantinganswers112's advice column | Ask wantinganswers112 A Question ]
