Hi Sunni,

As for exercise, stair climbing (and I lift weights as well) is, in my opinion after 30 yrs of exercising, the best allround fat burner and cardio workout, which also execises the biggest muscles in your body, in fresh air, at no cost. It is also kind on joints. (Linda and I stair climb around 4 times a week in a local park overlookinbg the beach, for between 1 and 2 hrs each session.)
