Exercise comes in all shapes and forms but it's the fun stuff that keeps us going in the end. For me, my favorite form of exercise is riding my bike. Sure running is good, swimming is relaxing, and I even like hitting the gym, but riding my bike is truly fun.

When you think "workout" what kind of exercise do you imagine? Some of us are hard-core runners and others are serious about Pilates or yoga. Then there are aerobics, weight lifting, and biking.

Even though she lives the So Cal lifestyle, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz told Women's Health that she doesn't starve herself for a Hollywood figure; she simply loves food, and one of her favorite feasts features Mexican fare. Once a week Ashlee and her hubby, Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, invite family and friends over for taco night. Ashlee told the mag that she's not afraid of cheese, eats cheeseburgers with ranch dressing, and indulges in French fries.

A lot of us have our favorite excuses for not working out, but if yours is: "I can't keep up in a class," then here are some tips for overcoming that issue:
- Start with a beginner's class and work your way up.
- Remember that everyone has to start somewhere and chances are that everyone in the class started out just like you, not having a clue what to do.
- The teacher is there to help you and in most cases they will not scold you or make you leave the room if you are messing up. Boot camp instructors may be a bit more harsh, but that is just the nature of the class and is not something you should take personally.
-
- Chances are the instructor will realize you are new and assist you when you need it and go easier on you than those that have been in the class every single day for the past two months. If it eases your worries, get there early and tell the instructor that you're new, but you're going to do your best to keep up.
- There is nothing wrong with taking a breather every once in a while to catch your breath or just so you can get back on track.
- Go with a friend who has also never done the class before, then you can fumble and laugh together.
- Make a buddy at the class, someone who knows the drill.
