Need New Suggestions Please

ReneeIsReady

So I've been working out on the tredmill almost everyday since January for a total of 60mins every time and along with that, I've recently started on the elliptical doing anywhere from 20-25mins. With the 2 combined I've been burning anywhere from 830 - 1030 calories...depending on how good I feel that day.

But at this point I feel like I also need to start doing something different as well as I have this fear that I may get tired and bored with doing the same things over and over to where I will eventally gain back my weight in the future in which I absolutely do not want. I originally started my journey on January 21st and so far have shedded 31 pounds and I desperately want and need to keep this train going.

I have ton of weight to lose(150 to be exact) and just need to hear some new suggestions on what I should try out next to help me burn fat because I really have no clue. Thanks

I like to go on YouTube and workout to the cardio/workout vds on there that are free. there are 1000's of full length vids, i get bored so fast that Its perfect to do those. I lost 45 lbs with just doing that for my workouts.

I do alot of the taebo ones since they are like 40-50 min

I really enjoy spin classes for my cardio. They are different every time, and easy on the joints.

On the treadmill, varying the speed and incline in short bursts can really help break up the monotony, and I think it helps burn more calories/fat.

Strength training is going to be really important for you as you continue on this journey - it will help your muscles burn fat and it will also help you prevent injury as you increase the intensity of your cardio.

I also really like doing "challenges" (e.g. there is a 30-day squat challenge - search for it in google). It provides me with something new to do for 30 days - a set routine for a period of time.

There are two groups on MFP that I've joined - one is a moving challenge that sets a monthly goal for mileage. The other sets a weekly goal for minutes worked out. I find these very motivating to keep at it, even when I don't really want to... Good luck!
