Bike machine?
If you wanna get out of the house, how about a riding lesson? ;)
I owned horses and rode from 5-15 and have found that my backside is now HUGE!!! Don't know whether it's from the hours of sitting in the saddle or just my family genes but hey......it used to do the rest of me the world of good though.

of course it is and the constant pulling of the duvet off your greedy husband when he hogs it all at night again arm muscles. the kicking when your husband snores too loudly!!! that good for your leg muscles
Dancing is a good way to loss weight, but there are so many forms of dancing the best is suppose to be line dancing and beleive it or not belly dancing.

5 Ways To Make Exercise... Fun
Quick Tip
There are probably a lot of you that are shaking your head and saying that exercise and having fun at the same time, simply isn't possible. But take it from someone who doesn't like exercising... it's all in how you approach it. You will find fun when you least expect it.
1. You can meet new people. I once met a woman on the next treadmill and she should have been a stand-up comedienne. I don't know if the laughing or the walking burned more calories.
2. Turn around that bad mood. Did you know that exercise dissolves stress!
3.If you make walking your exercise of choice, you can check out the neighborhood for garden ideas.
4. People Watching... stay current in the fashion trends by walking around the shops. Yes, you are still exercising.
5. Exercise in the pool. Has to be the easiest and the most fun. Chances are you will forget that you are exercising at all.
Playstation dance mats or the eye toy things. you dont think it is that energetic but it is!!!

I have a dance mat too!
They are really good, I have just bought dancing stage fushion. Its my favourite dancing game yet because you can plug the eye toy into it, there is also an 'endless' mode were you can just dance continously to songs.

after nearly 8 years of marraige this is the type of "bedroom" activity I get!!
Why not just go to for a nice slow walk for roughly 45 minutes, and it says you should loose 100 cals!! I am going to start soon, hopefully it will work

I wouldn't got to a gym... you will lose motivation having to leave your house on a cold night.. Dancing around the house, bedroom activity.. running around after kids all day is also a good way to lose weight... or my favourite: be a kid again and go to a park and play on the swings and slides... so much fun and you will also feel years younger...
