I pay the $1.50 when I need to take the bus, but more of than not, I can just walk! @szasa-- i totally want to try the circus center classes! new year's treat... :-) @market publique — yes, i’m a big fan of walking! since my company started running a free shuttle from the city to our somewhat remote office park, i stopped buying a monthly fast pass & multiple BART tix (SF public transit).

It only works if you don't have an unlimited ride card, and you don't have to go super far, but it's a double whammy: less $ for transportation AND exercise. And I buy a class card for yoga, which makes me feel less bad when I don't go (equally good and bad). Also, if you have TiVo you can record fitness shows and play them on mute with your fave music, plus exercise without going outside (in your pajamas?)

I found this list of some international circus schools: http://www.dmoz.org/Arts/Performing_Arts/Circus/Schools/ It's oh-so fun, and you can learn all sorts of other skills, from Chinese acrobatics and contortionism, to aerial silks and trapeze. All of these classes really strengthen your abs and upper body, and I've even noticed the shape of my legs changing, becoming slimmer. Plus the improvement in flexibility is amazing. Remember the dreaded rope in gym class? No problem. You'll be climbing up and down that rope effortlessly and probably hanging upside-down from it too!

In a matter of a few months. It's a lot more fun than going to a gym and sometimes less expensive depending on where you go. There are established circus schools all around the world, if you can find one, I highly recommend it. It does wonders for the figure and confidence.
