Low impact Tabata once in a while. Think I have really poor discipline and feel very demotivated to exercise. Struggling to lose weight 😢
Well, you're in the right place (my fitness pal) to help with motivation!
I really do not enjoy working out but have been doing it steady (5 days a week, 150+ hours a week with some exceptions) since 2012. In the beginning, I had to make myself do it but after a short while, it becomes habit & feels normal. I do it 1st thing in the morning so it's out of the way and I don't have to think about it.
Have a friend(s) that are like-minded to be accountable to.
After a while you will see results and that really helps with motivation!
And also have your strong "why"!
(mine are: I am 56 and I don't want to be an unhealthy overweight menopausal weak woman!
I want to live a long healthy life & meet my great-grandchildren and my great-great-grandchildren! [My oldest grandson is 13 so it is possible!]
And of course, I want to wear cute clothes and it's nice to see all your hard work and effort has paid off when you look at your reflection in the mirror!)
So I wish you good luck and great results! I hope to see you post your next workout!

Sounds like you have great workout discipline going here, but ... 150+ hours per week? At five days each week that would be 30+ hours per day which is clearly not what you mean. Should this be minutes, I wonder? I am curious as I am trying to work out a sensible exercise plan for myself.

My weekly goal is M-F 200 min at 40 min each workout (strength training mostly with yoga, palates & cardio thrown in there)
My minimum goal is 150 min if I should miss a day. Most people would make it up on the weekends but did I mention that I don't enjoy working out? Me and weekend workouts don't go together! I many times have active weekends but not doing a workout in front of my tv!
In 2012 (pictures below) I entered a contest and lost 31lbs. I kept it off for several years but then... I let it go and gained back about 15 which I've been trying to lose for a couple of years! I tried many different things and when I got on here, entering my food daily - It Worked!!!
I'm down 11lbs with 5 lbs to go!
I also think accountability really works! Keep posting! I'm here M-F! We can be accountable to each other! I wish you all the best!
It’s been too hot out to go for my usual walks so I tried a Leslie Sansone walking video. It keeps me moving and I enjoyed it which I can’t say for all workout videos! Also I think it’s something I can stick with which is important because consistency is a problem for me.

Much to my dismay, this had many planks (I hate planks) but I did my best, many times lowering into my knees.

Today...
Sydney's legs and abs
Karla's repeaters step and pump
and probably some other yoga type workout later...
This was too advanced for me... did it much slower and with breaks or substituted a different ab exercise
Jenny Ford int step
And Karla's live step and pump(will be uploaded later)
it's my rest day, so I did this + went for a short walk (3km)
I've been using this video for years. First on VHS, then CD now youtube.
She has videos for all levels, all kinds of situations, and monthly yoga schedules. Weight loss, injury, stress relief, anything and everything.
She also has a cute dog named Benji that’s sometimes in her videos.
I'll give it a try!
