Not a morning person!
O.k., I admit it, I am one of those people you should avoid for the first 30 minutes after I wake up! I'm not mean, just not awake or alert enough to be nice :laugh: So here is where I need help. Please give me suggestions to get me out of bed about 45-minutes to an hour earlier. I usually get up about 7:30, go to bed…

No wonder. . .
that my grandmother was so slender. She was very, very tidy and kept her house spotless. (my main memories of her from my childhood are her on her hands and knees scrubbing floors.) I cleaned for two hours yesterday, at top speed. I am so sore today! 1 hour of housecleaning moderate effort =198 calories. :flowerforyou:

Dance Dance Revolution
Has anyone tried that as part of their exercise routine? My sister just gave me her whole set up so I can use it. She used it to stay toned and in shape while she was in high school. She's away at college now and can't fit it in her dorm room. So I guess I'm going to try that for a while. Any other fun ideas like that?

Another Non-Scale Victory!
I have a pair of jeans that I bought just before Christmas but wouldn't wear until a couple of weeks ago because I had a "muffin top" going on & I can honestly say I HATE how that looks. Hubby & I went out for a bite last night & I wore those jeans. Now the scale hasn't moved in a week & I was getting pretty depressed…

My new fun workout. . .
OK, so this may be for only the Canadians out there. . . I've been tivo-ing this program called simply "Workout" which is a dance workout. The variety of dance changes about every two weeks, so far I've done a Bollywood, a Latin fusion, a Bhangra, and now it's African fusion dance. The routines are challenging enough to…

Curves
I'm VERY new to this chat board (I just started today!) and I was wondering how many of you have joined a CURVES gym. I've been involved with another gym before but I've recently moved and literally the only gym within a relatively close distance is Curves. I've heard that it is more for "beginners" and in college (granted…

My running plan
I hate running... I always have, but I hate it less than most other cardio exercise and I know I can do it. The mistake that I've always made in the past is in trying to do too much, too soon and hurting myself. I took the Cool Running: Couch-to-5K Running Plan and modified it. I think it assumed a level of fitness that I…

Question about soreness
I did a new workout yesterday and I am S-O-R-E today! I don't want to get off of my routine but know that pushing too hard can result in injury. My question is, should I try and keep up my routine as planned for today, adjusting as necessary so as not to overdo it or skip today to let my body recover?

Turbo Jam
I've been doing the Turbo Jam workouts and I love them? But I'm not sure how to log them into my exercise journal. Does anyone know approximately how many calories the Turbo Jam workouts burn? I know it's different for everyone, but an estimate would be great. I do the 40 minute "Cardo Party," the 40 minute "Turbo Sculpt,"…

I need some motivation
So I am 1 week and 2 days into my "Lifestyle change". I feel good about how I've been doing, keeping my calories down, not eating my "bonus" calories, exercise everyday. Until today, I am sooo tired, all I want to do is sleep all day and eat junk food! I know it's all hormonal ( if you know what I mean), but how I do I get…

The alphabet
So my co-worker told me about this exercise she saw on Oprah or something. Basically, you spell out the alphabet a letter at a time. For example. For the letter A, you would stand straight, then entend your arms and go all the way down to the floor on the right hand side (keeping legs straight), come up, then down to the…

Didn't want to do it
I did not want to do my yoga workout today. Yesterday I helped my brother move some heavy furniture and my muscles are so sore today. I went on a bike ride with my dog and came home to do yoga and really really did not want to do it. So I came on here instead and got motivated so I did it anyway. I'm glad I did because I…
