I want to get started exercising. I love walking and hiking, but only when the weather cooperates. I also have a 1 1/2 year old, which rules out biking. I HATE jogging, and I prefer when the exercise has another point to it besides the actual exercising (like entertaining my daughter, or getting somewhere). Does anyone have any advise or tips on finding good kinds of exercise?

Well you could always go to these new exercise classes that a lot of gyms are offering where you bring your child with you and you work out and do some fun little things with your baby. http://glycocarn.com/ may also have some really great tips for working out with your child.
