Have you considered some sort of martial art? I did karate for 2 years, its really good exercise and good self defence. I felt so much more confident walking around by myself. And it was really good for toning my arms and legs. There are always loads of classes around.

I used to know a nurse who used poi, she used to organise club nights so think she did it for that but looks a lot of fun, and impressive too. I prefer a good walk myself, soft sand is good but really hard work (suppose thats the idea though!)

I taught myself. There are various videos online showing you 'how to...' i sit and watch them then go and master it.

There are various 'meets' up and down the county too, which means you can talk to other peeps, learn tips and tricks and not pay so its cheaper than classes :)

Its really good for stress relief, makes you use both left and right side of your brain, and tones your arms fantastically!! Plus being super fun :)

Walking is a good one, you can do it anywhere and it's free. Walking on sand/snow is very good as your burning more energy with each step.

Another one is swimming, again free, if you want to go for a swim in a river or even the sea. However, I guess the pool is better.

Cycling is good, try cycling to work. I'm not sure how far away you are from it. But it may be worthwhile seeing how far away it is at a weekend, if it's feasible try getting in that way instead of by car. It'll save on petrol too!

That's all I can think of. Hopefully it'll help.
Best of luck!

have you thought of power walking? I am up to 6 miles a day now - or even just walking gets your circulation moving!

How did you learn? Did you teach yourself?

I have practice poi, two set of glow poi and some fire poi.

www.sonicstars.co.uk do some great starter poi - they also have a shop on ebay where you can get them even cheaper.

or even you can make your own sock poi!!

That looks great. Thanks

Might give it a go. I love anything that doesn't 'feel' like exercise!
