New exercise routine needed

cindergirl73

I have been walking as my primary exercise for the past year. But about 6 months in, I started to see little to no weight loss, even with watching what I ate. I was wondering what exercises you all could recommend for me. I belong to a Planet Fitness and they have exercise bikes, Arc trainers and ellipticals. I do the bike sometimes, but again, no results from that.

i go to zumba once a week which is good fun and pilates once a week to, you feel your body toning after class one of pilates!

I'm doing Insanity 2-4 times a week as of mid July. Prior to that, I did Zumba DVDs 5 days a week and lost 1 lb a week (April to the end of May), then during the month of June, I did the 30 Day Shred.

I lost a total of 8 lbs in 2 months doing Zumba, and once I started the 30 Day Shred and Insanity, the scale has not moved much, but I've lost 17 inches total.

I don't love the machines, but when I have to use them I prefer the arc trainer. I tend to use the hill interval program, but sometimes I also just play around with the incline and resistance. It's a great workout, and easy on the joints. This was my "go to" workout during several injuries in which running was not an option.

as your doing lots of walking why not try adding some running

I belong to a gym as well, but I have found that my body becomes use to the same old routines. I was doing Zumba three times a week and while it's a blast to do, I just got too used to it. Last week I went to Wal-Mart and purchased Ripped in 30 by Jillien Michaels for $10. I'm going to finish that up and then do the couch to 5K. I think our weight loss hits a plateau and sometimes we need something new to push it over the edge.

I have recently gotten back into a regular routine of working out and I am a fan of zumba, pump or any group class. It gets me out of my comfort zone, is always a great workout because I decide the effort I want to put in and it gets me around a group of people who are after similar goals. I have recently decided to change it up a bit by adding in 2 workouts a week of 30 minutes on the elliptical followed by 20 minutes of circuit training with weights.

Give the group classes a try, you might like it!
