I don’t know if you all notice – but I have been exercising everyday – step aerobics! Yes!  I needed something low impact because I haven’t exercised for as few months now.  So I chose step aerobics – and it seems to be working out for me – so a few girlfriends and me – got together in one of our basement – we put up a video on step aerobic and started exercising with the video.  We each brought our  ipods since we were quite familiar with the steps and didn’t like the music on the exercise tape on our second day.   And it’s amazing how small ipods are these days – a friend has an ipod shuffle – which was tiny tiny !  and another used her ipod touch for the music – pretty amazing.  As for me – i have my ipod nano – the 8gb one – it was a birthday present from the spouse and it sure came in handy.  Anyhow – it had been about a month and a half since I started on step aerobics and I must say – that with my music/ipod – i really didn’t need the company – so I do it on my own when my girlfriends are not available.
