I suggest getting out on some hikes/walks with a Meetup group. There are all kinds of free hiking/walking groups on Meetup.com, just type in your city and search for hiking or walking groups. Their calendars are full of interesting hikes/walks and many groups have recurring weekly hikes — the best part is you feel more compelled to go knowing others will be there so you’re more likely to keep doing it!
I agree with you; outside the gym is the way to go! My acreage and garden is the place where I spend hours of happy, peaceful and most creative times. Lots of it! You have no idea how wonderful you will feel doing this on a regular basis; inside and out! Enjoy!
Cathe Freidrich offers fabulous and challenging cardio and strength training DVDs. Check them out at cathe.com. There’s also a friendly and supportive forum where Cathe interacts with users.
I am a big Wii fit fan.. also like the rumba and Black Eye Pea Experience for Wii. I also have added two walk breaks during work. I walk 10-20 minutes in the morning and afternoon in downtown Houston. If the weather is too hot or rainy, I walk in the tunnels.
You can get a great workout at home with minimal equipment. For strength training, you need two sets of free weights – one light and one heavy (like 3 and 5# if you’re just starting out; or 5 and 8# if you’re more experienced) and a pair of 2 1/2- 3# ankle weights. Stretch bands and tubes, toning balls, the big stability ball add a lot of fun and diversity to the routine. Get a good book, like my Strength Training for Women or 15-Minute Total Body Workout DVD (which combines resistance exercises with cardio intervals) and you’re in business!

Thank you for your advice. I have to take in account my disintergorating back, L-4 down.
