My (planned) exercise.

Catman_Jellytot

Trying to get back into a routine of calorie counting and exercise to get fit and slim for my Graduation in July

My university has a Dance Society that runs Street dance, body conditioning and Zumba classes... all for just a £5 membership fee!

I plan to do these as well as some walking/running and workout DVDs.

All this as well as keeping my calorie intake under 1200.

What do you guys think?

(By the way, I am 196 lbs, 5'4", 20 years old and I want to lose 42 lbs by July.)

Sounds like a pretty solid plan Catman.

I always tell people exercise should be something they really enjoy, so Zumba and Street Dance sound like great choices!

The one thing I would suggest would be some weight training. Cardio classes are great for burning calories, but if you want to build up some lean muscle, resistance training is the way to go (it burns plenty of calories too, mind you.)

Best of luck with your goal! Also, enjoy your last year of University... I miss it a little bit, not gonna lie.
