The two that burn a lot for me are the elliptical ( high rsistance and RPM) or lane simming

Have you ever tried Plyometrics? P90X has a workout that will do the job.

I get bored easy doing my workout but since Jan I have put goals in my path. I run so I have started doing races. At one point i would only run to get into shape get there and leave it alone, or try some other form of workout that really didn't work i would just try and convince myself it did until i dropped everything. So far the race theory has worked I have been able to string together 7 months of constant workouts with results. going to a race at least once a month. Running for me is the only way to burn the right calories. If you go to furmansfirst.com there is a plan there for running to get faster and better depending on your goals. good luck!!!

Same here! I need races for motivation, i think that running burns the most calories in the shortest amount of time and it's free! Well kinda, if you don't count the expensive running shoes. I just got the cutest running skort, love it! :happy:

Have you considered circuit training because it combines strength, cardio, and abs

I love Jillian Michaels workouts. They go from 20 minutes to 50 and they are kick-butt workouts. I tend to get bored with the same old exercises also but adding videos helps a lot.

Honestly, I tried the "first" circuit training gym. I hated it! Their measurements were inconsistent and the "trainers" were there but absent, you know. I started walking every morning for about 1 1/2 months and the weight just melted off. When I went back to work after summer break, I wasn't able to keep up the routine and gained some of the weight back. I got mad at myself and joined another circuit gym that offered more. Not only did they have the circuit but that also had treadmills, weights, elipticals, bikes, ab machines. It was really nice. I loved it. I saw results quickly and couldn't wait to get to the gym every day! Since my son's accident, I won't be able to go to the gym anymore. They won't let me out of my contract (after I brought 6 new people into the gym!) so my money is just being wasted. I decided to get a treadmill and the Malibu Pilates AR chair! Love the chair! Suzanne Sommers EZ gym is on its way to me as we speak. I love working out here at home now. I don't have to feel guilty about leaving my son with another caregiver and I'm seeing real results. I just wish there was a way to get out of that contract. We could really use the money right now with all the medical bills. :sad: :mad:

Anywho, I honestly think that variety is the spice of life. :drinker: You'll try many different things until, one day, it'll click! You've found your passion. I'm also doing the Cook Yourself Thin thing and it's been fun. My hubby loves being the taste tester. Give it a chance. Try everything for at least a couple of weeks before deciding it isn't for you. You might be like me and find several different things that work for you in combination so it isn't the same old routine.

Keep in touch and good luck. :flowerforyou:

Running is one of the best calorie burners, but so is squash, biking, swimming, rock climbing, nordic walking..which i'm a huge fan of, the elliptical, step aerobics and rowing....just a few ideas to throw into the mix for you to think about.

You could call your sons doctor and they could write you a medical note saying you need to take care of your child and cannot get away to come to the gym. This might help, then agian they might just freeze your account, but that would help as well. Hope this idea helps you out. I work for a chirpractor and we have written such notes before for people. Good luck

Thanks! I'll do that. I guess just thinking "two years!" It seems like such a waste. They did say they'd freeze it for a few months but, his recovery will go way beyond that. I'm just frustrated. I just need to suck it up and put it in God's hands. Thanks for the help! :flowerforyou:

If your gym has them, Versaclimber's are awesome and whip you.
