The most effective exercises are the ones that you will do...

At my YMCA you can meet with a trainer and they will design you a program that suits your needs and goals. I would see if this is available at your YMCA.

When I'm not working in the summer time, I love to go early and walk on the treadmill. Then there's a water aerobics class that starts at 8:00. I time it so I finish walking at about 7:45 then go straight to water aerobics. Makes me feel like I've accomplished something for the day.

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Hey! I have a ymca membership. The good thing about them is the first time you go to the gym part of it you can ask for a fitness assesment, they will work with your schedule. Tell them your goals and they will do a fitness test and tell you the best exercises for you, how many reps to do, and how often. I also love their spin class and yoga!
