    I'm 68 years old. I started working regularly when I was in my early 30's. It's made all the difference for me. When I was losing 17 pounds about 8 years ago, I was so glad that I had the 150-300 calories a day that exercise bought me. I can't run anymore (bad knees), but there are lots of other things that can be done.

    There is only one diet that works. I call it "The Four-Word Diet". Eat less, do more.

    sorry, meant to add to that quote there...check out fitnessblender.com - they have many tabata styled videos...

    I agree, maybe you should check out fitnessblender on youtube or got to their site at fitnessblender.com. They have some great HIIT/Tabata routines that are free. you could try those out first & see how you like this type of workout......

    I also like Amy dixon's breathless body I & II which are Tabata style HIIT, they are tough but effective as far as burning calories.

    I just bought a copy of insanity the other day but do not intend to do the whole program. I started lifting weights & don't want to overdo it on cardio every day & lose lean muscle mass, but i like these very hard HIIT videos. So i bought a used copy of insanity so that i will have more videos to rotate in on my cardio days. (i get bored watching the same ones all the time.)
