I was just wondering what types of exercises you all do? I do the stationary exercise bike, Walk Away the Pounds With Water Weights by Leslie Sansone. I am looking for some new types of exercises to do, so I was just wondering that would be good for a beginner, or the next level. If you do exercise dvd's which ones? Thanks in advance.

    Here is the exercises that I do: brisk walking outside(weather permitting) walk/run on my treadmill, stationary bike, weight machine, jump rope, snowshoeing (just started this year and I LOVE it!) and I began the Biggest Loser Bootcamp Workout a month ago. I also have a few other Yoga/Pilates DVD that I do but my favourite DVD is the BL Workout one. It is a great workout:bigsmile:

    Right now I am doing Taebo advanced immediately followed by with 1mile or 2 mile WATP twice a week. I do WATP 3 or 4 mile and Hip Hop Abs the other days. I also do intervals on treadmill.

    I have done the first Biggest Loser work out and the Kathy Smith Super Slimdown Circuit.

    I went to curves today but I don't like it. The only part I liked is the stepper and the equipment you do squats on.

    sounds like you have the exercise thing down. I am a beginner, or the next level. I wish that I had a treadmill, I just don't have room for one.

    WATP probably did more for my thighs than anything I have done.. even the treadmill (besides the taebo). A lot of the DVDs I've done I've found in the library. Also try the goodwill -they have stuff for a dollar- and freecycle.

    I had a hot yoga class this morning at 8, followed by an hour of weight circuit training, then I hoped next door, and took on an interval cardio step class...which I just love, my HRM let me know I burned 782 calories for that class alone! then I hoped on to the elliptial for 40 minutes..i'm pooped, but I get sooo psyched with all the classes, I just wanna do them all! :happy:

    and I have a secret agenda, it's one of childrens b-days today and I wanna enjoy a meal without guilt, I wan't a STEAK DAMMIT!! :bigsmile:
  • I love the elliptical machines...I am normally a runner and enjoy running outside but here in ny with the COLD weather i have been forced to stay in at the gym and can not stand the treadmill for long distances!! So i use the elliptical, which is easy on your knees and makes me feel kind of like I am dancing! :smile: I wouldnt actually say it is fun...but I do find it to be one of my favorite cardio machines.
    Sometimes I also will do 10 to 15 min per machine (ie bike, treadmill, elliptical, stairmaster, etc) for about 3 cycles, so anywhere from 30-45 min. This also alleviates the boredom of indoor cardio for me!

    For weights, I tend to use all the machines they have. I rarely use free weights because I fear I will do it wrong.

    I think the best thing to do to workout is to mix it up! Either bring a friend, change the songs on the ipod, get outside, whatever it takes to make the workouts enjoyable and rewarding!
