    I go to the gym ...working in a group motivates me.

    Body Pump - Tues, Thurs, and Sat (Les Mills body pump, It's an hour of weight lifting working all muscle groups. Youtube it if you want to do it at home)
    Group Cycle - Thurs and Sat
    Jogging Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

    New Rules Girl here!
    I had been lifting some before starting New Rules but I still started with Stage 1.

    Here is an example of Stage 1:
    (I modified two of the exercises because I use my home gym and I don’t have all the equipment.)

    (Stage 1) Workout A
    Squats
    Push-ups
    Seated Row (I do bent over row)
    Step-Up
    Prone Jackknife

    (Stage 1) Workout B
    Deadlift
    Dumbbell shoulder press
    Wide grip lat pull down (I do upright row)
    Lunge
    Swiss ball crunch

    Alternate workouts 3 days a week: M-a, W-b, F-a, M-b, W-a, F-b

    There is a little more to it than that as far as the reps and sets but it gives you a good example.

    I occasionally do some cardio: Zumba (when my SIL can get me to go), or intervals on the treadmill. :) Good luck!

    I don't have access to a gym with weights, so I have been doing the You Are Your Own Gym workout, which uses body weight and common household objects. I'm 5 weeks in and have been very happy with my progress. There is a book, but I now 100% use the iPhone app.
