    Thank you Lori. I appreciate that very much.

    I don't know of any yoga videos you could try. Sorry. Maybe one day I will try it out though.

    Morning all,

    SweeteeBri, I am really sorry to hear about your Dad. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

    I am wondering if anyone uses yoga videos from web they could recommend. I am looking for a basic beginner yoga routine to help with my very limited flexibility!

    I don't know any good yoga routines online. But, if you have access to DVDs at your local library, I recommend Rodney Yee. Let me know if you want more info. He has some on Netflix, too.

    Thanks for all the suggestions! Before I saw the responses I tried a 40 min video by Yoga with Adrienne. Was good. I suck at it (lol!) but am willing to try it again…maybe using one that was suggested. I decided to keep exercising, so I looked for a Zumba video. Found one called Latin Spice, but it was more of a walking/low impact type workout. It was perfect as I have a lovely chest cold. Anyway, managed to do more than I thought I would today, so I am happy!

    That's great Lori. Sweat that cold right out of your chest :smiley: Great job with your workouts.

    Wow!! I decided to change it up a bit tonight and use my exercise bike instead of the elliptical. I did 90 mins and my legs felt like jello when I got of the bike. :D It felt great though!!

    How we doing ladies?

    Is anyone following a particular meal plan and/or workout system? I'm starting Chalene Johnson's Turbo Fire tomorrow. For the next 4 weeks, I will be eating and sleeping Turbo Fire!! :) It has a lot of HIIT (high intensity interval) workouts. Anyone is more than welcome to join me!!

    I have to do better with counting my calories and getting a meal plan that works for me and not against me. I have such a sweet tooth. Has anyone tried Shakeology or smoothies?

    Girl i am with you on the sweet tooth. It's my downfall. I have tried one of the Shakeology smoothies. I got a few for free. This is just my opinion by they didn't taste any better or keep me fuller than any other protein powders. I can't believe how much they cost..

    I just eat low carb and around 1500 calories a day. I run,lift heavy 3x a week and i am doing a 30 day challenge from Betty Rocker

    Vanessa, I've read reviews on Shakeology. Others say the same thing you said. I got samples so decided I will try them. You are right!!! They are ridiculously expensive.

    How heavy do you lift? I said I'm gonna incorporate my dumbbells into my workout routines. I hear that's the way to go :)

    Btw...great workout today!!

    Hi Sweet.. Not too heavy really..my dumbbells are 20# and since i workout at home and have to lift the barbell over my head i don't go heavier than 45# for plie squats or things like that..it's heavy for me...lol
    I started doing some body weight routines by Betty Rocker..she can be a little overly happy sometimes but her exercises are kick butt.
