Zumba
My sister-in-law and niece have been getting into shape with the help of Zumba.
Zumba® Fitness – When participants see a Zumba class in action, they can’t wait to give it a try. Zumba classes feature exotic rhythms set to high-energy Latin and international beats. Before participants know it, they’re getting fit and their energy levels are soaring! There’s no other fitness class like a Zumba Fitness-Party. It’s easy to do, effective, and totally exhilarating; often building a deep-rooted community among returning students.

WII Fit
Another tool we have used is the WII Fit. It keeps track of your weight, your goals, and logs your weekly routine.

-step it up by taking the steps instead of the elevator
-take the steps up and down at lunch
-own a dog or know someone who does, then walk him/her
