I started Insanity a little over a week ago, & I like it even though it's hard as hell. I feel like I should be doing more though. Like maybe another half hour a day or something of lighter exercise. Right now I'm out in the boonies on a hill in the snow in Oregon so it's not like I can go out to do anything, I just work out in the room I'm staying in. I want to do more so I'm wondering what you guys are doing or ideas to share.

I've been doing the elliptical for about half an hour because it doesn't hurt my ankles...
besides that I hike and do the pilates and yoga with school.
I also have a five pound hula hoop I try to do every day for at least 5 minutes. 0 -
I jump rope. I read that it's good for the whole body. I don't jog because I can't even jog close to 5 mins without almost fainting. But the jump rope helps a lot. I can jog 500 in the morning and 500 in the evening. And people say it affects the whole body and I have a big tummy that's why I use it.0

^ You just reminded me that I got a jump rope about a year ago & I don't think I've used it yet lol. Maybe I'll try & find it tomorrow & do it for the Daily Challenge. 0

I just started the 30 Shred yesterday. I also run or elliptical for 30-45 minutes each day. I added weights a couple weeks ago, but I'm not seeing the results I would like. It's been almost 24 hours since day 1 of the shred and my definitely body feels like I worked it, but nothing is too sore to do it again today.
Good luck, you guys!0 -
I do Circuit training 3 times a week and try to do a gym session twice a week (30 mins HIT cardio and 30 mins strength training). I am no expert, but am hoping this routine will increase my fitness, muscle tone and burn some wobbly fat!
If you are at home I would also really recommend JM's 30 day shred. I had great results last year doing this - and am considering starting it for a second time next week
I lost over 3.5 inches around my waist when I did it :noway: I used to get up at 6am to fit it into my day, its only 25 mins in total per session in total but I have to be super focused to fit it in!
You can buy the DVD on Amazon (it was only a fiver in UK money!) or I am sure that some posters have said its now uploaded on YouTube so you can access it for free
