I notice you don't mention heart rate - surely this is one very important aspect of increased CV that needs to be monitored? Not that I want to go into aerobic vs anaerobic metabolic demand, but at the very least the upper and lower HR 'zones' need to be identified and monitored.

I'm still curious Mago, why doesn't your wife post?

BTW - does she enjoy weight training?

My favourite workout? shimmy babe, shimmy - can dance for hours, can run/bike/lift weights for nanoseconds. Gardening is great, so is climbing, walking is fun (especially to far-off places off the beaten track where there are photo opportunities, and the weight training is carting my camera gear wherever I go!), but drag me near a fitness facility and I develop a sudden aversion to sweat, lycra, daggy old gym gear, and shared showers. Yuk.
Oh, and I do swim - snorkelling and finning so I can go scuba diving, otherwise? fitness is about feeling healthy, maintaining flexibility and strength, and getting rid of excess stress. Do something you enjoy, you'll do it more!
