fitness workout podcast?

Do you know a fitness workout podcast?

All this nice food and specially my daily ice-cream is helping in piling up the pounds here and I´m going from a tight 12 size into a balloon size in no time! It's scary.

At the moment I´¡m living in rented accomodation until September and the we'll move to another place so it's not a good idea to find an pay membership to a fitness club. So my best bet is to excersise while I go to the beach. And a fitness podcast will be a great solution if I can find one.

Any idea?

Are you at least buying the lottery tickets???
Because I also dream of winning it but I never actually buy a ticket, ever.
If you do with the lttery as well as you did with Spanish... you'd be rich by now. Tu español suena excelente!

Thanks for the podcast link, it sound pretty good but I'm having some problems buying things in the US nowadays. Apparently even business are getting to be more insular and isolated in the US, maybe they fear that people buying CDs on line are actually doing money laudry?

If I wanted to get really down I just have to watch the news. Sad world we're living in, dear friend.

About the internet gender. It's a fuzzy area, because words that are foreign in origen not always follows the language gramatical rules. The obvious example is "walkman" as in the audio thingy, one "walkman" is ok but "2 walkmen" is not, the correct one is "2 walkmans". Don't you think?

Here is Spain they said "el internet" but in Argentina they said "la internet". Go figure.

Do keep checking and correcting my English, please, if you´ve some time. Altough I despair of ever getting it right. For the life of me I cannot figure out why door is not pronounce in the same way as "moo".

I´ve seen Spellbound and it still is one of me most weird things I´ve seen about American culture. My son is quite good at spelling and he said that I use American spelling rules sometimes (one factor that further complicate my life). He also told me that the way of learning spelling in his school was based in nursery rhymes at the first few years!

The "go figure" is NOT at all universally English but a sort of nudge/wink to you! I never heard it in the UK. It´s one of those idioms that I learnt from reading and TV.

Don´t worry about paying the podcast as I can do it through my friends account but thanks for the offer, it´s very much appreciated.

Regarding the fitness podcast, I´m looking for the equivalent to Jane Fonda´s videos in the 80s. Remember them?

In Argentina somebody said that buying lottery tickets is akin as paying a tax for hope. Not bad analogy.

Keep on the corrections and coments, please!

I do hate prepositions!! I disparage of ever getting them right.

I don´t know what to think about the spelling bees in your country. Perhaps it´s because of the competitive spirit there because the Brits don´t have them.
However and surprisingly they do have it here in Barcelona. They even have a tv show where teens go to spell, and they even hand out some small prices. Not in Castillian Spanish but in Catalan.

We also say that we speak Spanish instead of Argentinean Spanish to the chagrin of real Spaniard who think that we do not do such a thing.

Am I a sort of a Brit? mmm... I´ll have to think that one.
