    Do you work out at all yet? When I started back in January, I eased into it and saw a personal trainer to find out what my heart rate and everything should be.

    Mine is different depending on the season: Now, I walk/jog before work for usually only about 1.50 or so miles and then after work I go for a bike ride (at least 5 miles). Sometimes I'll do a bike ride in the morning instead and I'll go 2-3 miles since it's faster. During the weekends I'll usually bike ride for longer depending on what else is going on.

    If it's the winter, I'll go to the gym and use the treadmill for 45 minutes and do arms and legs every other day for about 10-15 minutes per depending on what I'm doing (again, it's the morning so it's a bit more rushed for the arms and legs than I'd like since I have to get to work early)

    I started with walking & logging my food. Then added Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. Then couldn't move for three days because I used my old 5lb dumbbells that hadn't been touched in 15 years. :sad: LOL

    Two and a half years later, I mix it up with 3 days of running (used the c25k program to ease into it), and three days of strength/cardio mix with dumbbells (I can use more than 5lbs now and not die :tongue:) - either with a workout DVD, or with a phone app, recently Nike Training Club (it's free).

    I do jorge cruise 8 minuets in the morning extra easy work out strength training.

    for personal work out I rotate between wii Gold's gym cardio work out and walk away the pounds dvd.
    many people are donig zumba I tried it and hated it. way to hard.

    walking is a good place to start or swimming since its summer time and hot outside.

    Ii work out every day (but it's only been 3 weeks so hopefully I can keep it up), and just alternate between the following:

    Day 1
    AM: Yoga 30 min
    PM: 4-5km run 30ish min (increasing, and starting half-marathon training for next summer in the fall probably)

    Day 2
    AM: BodyRock workout 12-20min
    PM: Strength/free weights 45 min (75 min once a week, that day I also boost my calories)

    I really like BodyRock.tv, and if you have no idea where to start its good they have beginners workouts and they are all short enough that you can't really come up with an excuse not to do them.

    Cardio: @ 6 am on an empty stomach
    Monday - Friday (4-5 days) 25-30 minutes of interval cardio.

    Strength training: Evening hours. Sometimes Saturday morning. I normally do 3-4 sets of 4 groups for each muscle group.
    Monday - Chest/Back
    Tuesday - Triceps/Biceps
    Wed - Rest
    Thursday - Shoulders
    Friday (or Saturday morning) Quads/Hamstrings/glutes/calves(sometimes, I'm genetically gifted)
    Saturday -Rest
    Sunday - Rest


    Abs get thrown in there during rest periods when I feel like it. They get worked indirectly enough. I'm also working on chin ups twice a week as a fun challenge. When I can do 5x5 without resorting to negatives I'll be successful. Last night was still 5,5,4,3,3.
