    @Anjali love the DP! Its soo fantastically in your face! :love: :love:

    @Naruto Yup true! going to push myself the rest of this week. 45 minutes done today! :happy:

    Ive just bought resistance bands for the days when im travelling and have to work out in hotel rooms but I still have to try them out. (still to receive delivery of the handle) i went with SKLZ. so this is what i will soon have:

    have you worked with resistance bands? how different is it from dumbbells? and how effective?

    Okay. Advance apologies to the moderator and everyone.
    New on the group.
    Where do I introduce myself and stuff?
    Also, half may is gone. So, I pledge 30 minutes daily for whatever time is left,
    Cheers. :-D

    Did 40 minutes swimming in the pool.
    But since I was just splashing the kids during play time,probably should count only 35.
    What did everyone else do?

    @naruto- I run once a week. So, not much. Trying to take that number up slowly. Flat foot combined with heavy weight giving me a hard time.
    @jasneet- do you train at home or in the gym?

    @Torsha I workout at home. Naruto has got me hooked on www.fitnessblender.com and then there is youtube and the zillion other websites & apps.

    Wow. I would really like to start strength training at home since my weight loss has practically stalled after the initial 20 kgs. The gym seems a little intimidating for now, frankly.
    I'll check out the site. Thanks.
    What equipments, if any, did you guys buy?
