This is a great thread! I prefer weights to cardio as well. I have to mix it up or I am dreadfully bored but no matter what I do I still get in a 3-4 mile walk a day with my dogs. Every week I write down my fitness plan and schedule at least 2-3 days for "fun cardio". My fun cardio usually includes biking/or spinning, videos of all sorts (Beach body/ P90 X, have so many good ones), and trail running. Gyms have always intimidated me so I have a lot of equipment at home or try to get outside whenever possible.

I hope we can help motivate eachother. I have been on this fitness committment to a healthy lifestyle road for almost 4 years now and still need motivation at times. Good luck everyone.

You can do it. There are a lot of people here who have had a significant amount to lose and succeeded. Take it one day at a time. We are all here to help and support one another.

Hello Ladies!! I am trying to up my fitness level too!! The treadmill does get boring but on days when it's not very nice out it's all I have for cardio. So I've been mixing it up a little on the treadmill. I'll do my little warm up. Then I'll crank up the elevation to 6.0 at a 3.8 speed for 5 min. Then I'll put the elevation up to 12 at a speed of 3.6 for 5 min. Then I'll put the elevation at a 3.0 at speed of 4.0 for 5min. And so on for about 45 min to 60 min. Atleast it mixes things up and it works a lot of different muscles.
Haven't figured out how to make the elliptical a little more interesting.
I've also recently gotten into cycling classes at the gym. It's fun having a group to exercise with and the instructor is really energetic which just fuels me. The first time I could hardly walk the next day lol but it gets easier!!
Good Luck to you all!

Hi all!!! I ran 2 miles yesterday on my lunch break and now my hip is killing me. :ohwell: And I gained 2 lbs this morning :explode: But I know that it was probably a fluke since I didn't eat over 6000 calories... Wishing you all energy to burn :flowerforyou:
