    QOTD: Wednesday, June 29th

    Do you ladies have any favorite workouts? A favorite routine, a favorite strength exercise, a favorite trail to walk? Is it based on how many calories you burn, how much fun it is, or how relaxing it is? Tell us about it!

    I really like to use the elliptical, though I don't have one so I have to go to the gym and it is usually not worth the effort of taking my 4 kids to the gym. At home I have a love/hate relationship with my dreadmill. I also love to hate Jillian Michaels. I have donet he 30 Day Shred twice and am now doing her kettlebell workout. I really like it!

    Peanut Butter is one of my major addictions, so I try to keep clear of it. I love peanut butter melted on whole wheat toast. I love peanut butter on ice cream!!!!!:love: I think that a peanut butter sandwich made with crunchy peanut butter and grape jam on soft white bread is about the highest form of earthly bliss that there :blushing: I haven't had that in a really long time. But I guess that I got off of the topic:blushing: I really like Skippy or Jiff!

    Wed. QOTD ~ favorite workouts

    I like to walk/jog (mostly walk at a quick pace with short bursts of jogging) outside when the weather is nice. When I have to exercise inside I like the elliptical, it is a great workout.

    My favorite workout is working out with my trainer but since I am saVing for my wedding, I haven't gotten more sessions. So right now my go to work out is Jillian's 30 Day Shred. I just feel so accomplished when I do it. It was hard at first, but now I do it cause it makes me feel good.

    Do you mind me asking which park you go to?

    I run at Central Park - it's less than 1/2 mile from my house!

    Hey, I love Jillian Michaels although currently I hate 30DS because I have stopped four days short of completing it (doh!). I also like her 'Banish fat, boost metabolism' DVD, which I am currently using mixed in with the turbo jam cardio workout.
    Mostly I walk with my little boy in a stroller or sling, he loves to be out in the countryside and it gives me the chance to do a little exercise without the need for childcare.

    I love Turbo Jam. Even though I haven't been able to do it in a month due to a pulled muscle. This is the one workout that doesn't feel like exercise to me. Just fun!!!

    I am addicted to 30 Day Shred. It is so challenging and I love pushing myself and getting stronger everyday. I also like the C25K running plan. I am determined to become a runner.


    As far as the PB question- I buy the store brand. Creamy.

    Lately my favorite workout has been running. For a long time it was Jillian Michaels 30DS because she helped whip me into a semblance of physical shape. Now that I consider myself moderately fit I enjoy zoning out with a good run in the morning. I am especially lucky to have moved a block away from a wonderful trail along the river. I live in Philly, so trails along the river aren't exactly in abundance! I enjoy the scenic view and starting my day feeling so empowered.

    I run each morning with the best workout partner ever... my yorkie :-) Meet Choo Choo!

    Cute dog :)

    My favorite workout - hmmm. Right now since I'm training for that 10 miler I will say running outdoors on a trail (not a road). We've got a network of trails that have a crushed gravel bed so it's pretty soft. I found an awesome website called walkjogrun.com and you can map your route and see exactly how long it is. Try it, you'll like it!

    As for peanut butter - I like any and all, but prefer crunchy if given a choice. Very much like it in vanilla ice cream, on celery, mixed with honey (dip wheat thins in it), um, pretty much any way. On the spoon is ideal. And gotta say, thanks so much for giving me this PB craving now :sad:

    Right now I pretty much just bike or walk. I have tried the Biggest Loser workout DVD, which I have to get back too. My mom bought me the 30ds for my 30th birthday......I just have to wait to start it until I get it from them since she forgot to bring it tonight :(


    PB -Doesn't matter the brand, I do prefer chunky over creamy though!

    MMMMM PEANUT BUTTER (in my cookie monster voice). GIMME GIMME GIMME. MMMMMMMMMMMMM I love Jif!

    My favorite workout is when I go to the gym in my hoodie and sweat pants. Do about 15 minutes of cardio, then I circuit train for an hour, or until my clothes are soak and wet, or I am exhausted. Which ever comes first. I also love doing Turbo Fire workouts. They are fast and intense. Very productful.

    My favorite work out is anything that gets my heart rate over 150. I see alot of us all have this one in common, the 30 DS with Jillian Michaels. I love Jillian she really pushes you to the next level. I enjoy indoor cycling and the elliptical machine. I love to burn calories and have fun so I enjoy my workouts and still get a benefit from it.

    I love pb too and prefers it crunchy. I love crunchy foods so I can eat peanut butter on anything. It is just like icing on a cake to me. I love all you Diamonds and let's make the Dolls sit down!!!! Team Pink

    I am just finishing the 30DS and I have enjoyed it...althought somedays I dread it! :) I am going to use it throughout July as well as trying the Banish fat, boost metabolism as well....

    I also like the Walk at home series with Leslie sansone....the DVD I have is 5 miles, but you can choose how many miles you do - I like that flexibility.
