    I noticed someone mentioned macros. What is that?

    I'm in the same boat and used to hate cardio as well.

    First I would suggest spending some money on a really good bra. A sports bra probably isn't going to cut it.

    After a lot of experimenting I use the elliptical and go to spin class. Spin class is fantastic, it is so hard I get a huge endorphin rush from it and always feel so pleased with myself at the end. You'll find something with no jumping, there are lots of options!

    Thanks again everyone. I'm looking into everything right now. Another question though. I'm really ignorant when it come to fitness. Am I wrong thinking that your heart rate has to be a special number to burn calories effectively? I would just lift all day if I could but I'm already big. Should I lose the weight doing the cardio first then start toning up by lifting weights?
    You burn calories 24/7, heart rate doesn't matter. If you hate cardio, don't do cardio.

    I have just started working out again for the first time in years. I want to stick with it but I've come to realize that I hate cardio. I hate jumping around. Maybe it's I'm a big-chested girl. No matter what I do it's very painful. I am currently doing 30 Day Shred but I dread the jumping jacks and jumping rope. Maybe once I lose weight it won't affect me as much. I love the strength training but I'm over-weight and I need to lose 60+ pounds in 7 months. I have been eating better (no candy or chips) and staying under my allotted caloric intake but is there a way to lose the weight and forego all the jumping? I know you have to get your heart rate up to burn calories but is there another way.
    I do walk but the weather is getting worse every day so I be unable to continue. I was looking to buy this (((http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ellipticals/17164429))) but was unsure. I'm not interested in joining a gym so any home-based work outs, DVDs, equipment, etc. would be helpful. Thanks guys!!!

    "Maybe it's I'm a big-chested girl" i know what u mean cuz im the same. and i can tell u all what u need is a good sport bra.. must be compact and tide. i had the same problem and i didnt like to do any kind of sport.
    so whatever u want to do or u will do. with a good sport bra ill works and u can actualy enjoy sport in general!
