Favorite workout shirt: Sports Bra. 

Favorite workout shorts/pants: Calf length workout pants (Nike maybe???)

Favorite song to listen to while working out: No music.  I usually have the TV on, but on game show, or the Health channel which is usually one of those ER-True story type things.  It's something to watch during rests, but I don't worry about losing track of a "plot". 

Most used form of cardio: Wii "My Fitness Coach".  It's like having a DVD that changes every time you watch.  Plus it kicks my ****.

Would you workout if you didn't have to in order to stay fit/healthy?: Hmmm, I'm not sure, probably not as often.  Certainly not the cardio.  I might stick with the weights, but I probably never would have started if it wasn't for the fitness/health aspect. 

Favorite thing to do to pass the time during cardio:  If I'm on treadmill, then watch TV, but if doing Wii, then there is really nothing else I can do.  Maybe watch the cats outside my window.

What gets you most motivated to workout?:  The scales and my cholesterol levels.  But it's quite motivating to have my DH ask me to help him with heavy stuff!!!

Participate in any fitness classes?: Nope.
