I too have started to go back to the gym.  My neighbor has inspired me. She just had baby 2 and really wants to lose the weight, especially since she hasn't lost all of the weight from baby 1.  I've probably been going consistently now for about 2 months - about twice a week.  I know I should go more but it's hard with work, having my 2-year old son and having to take care of the house.  Sometimes I just don't have anyone to watch my son but I've started taking a kickbox cardio class and it is great.  What a workout.  Last night I tried a new class - boxing circuit training.  It was a lot of drills, like running, jumping rope, jumping jacks, hopping over the step.  It was intense but a good workout.  She said it should burn about 400 calories!  So if you are a member at a gym try checking these types of classes out.  They are really good cardio and fun.  Pushes you too!
