Swimming is great, but does not result in weight loss. Swimming is safe in that you do not damage joints, no pressure points. Also consider that women's muscles are in the thighs, not arms and shoulder, so unlike men, we are not burning calories like men do in the pool. Squats with or without weights and cycling are out for me now, bad knees. Running -- never could run, also does damage. Walking is now my exercise of choice, but walking like cycling only exercise some muscles. I have found that most everything tightens joints and ligaments that once were limber. I would recommend Zumba. Try it on youtube and see how much fun it is.

azwen Joined 2012-01-17 Posts: 116	February 03, 2013 08:24 Hiking! We have so many desert mountains to climb. I can't wait for the wildflower season in the spring. (We are hoping to adopt a golden retriever soon, so I will even have a new hiking buddy, too.) Hiking uses a lot of muscles, keeping yourself stable going up and down on uneven surfaces, it's good cardio, and nothing beats the feeling of standing on top of a mountain you just climbed.

Dammit, I must have just been imagining lifting those weights earlier if I have no muscles in my arms. Seriously though, yes women have smaller muscles than men in general and so burn fewer calories. But that's the same regardless of what the workout is! There's only one known cure to this problem - strength training.
