    Hi, my name is Chris. I finished 30 Day Shred last night! Joined a Zumba group and plan to start that tonight. 30DS was a 25 minute workout, so Zumba will be a 25 minute workout. I am doing about 50 minutes of other cardio challenges on MFP, and walking 4+ miles at 15 minutes per mile six days a week. I can't run or jump...my burpees, jumping jacks, mtn. climbers, etc., are all modified. I'm working on belly fat and jello arms.

    I just started back with the C25K program. I really enjoy it and intend to keep at it. My plan is to do that 3 days a week and strength train 3 days. I have access to a gym but I am somewhat intimidated by the meat heads. I have dumbells at home.

    for me, i usually do bicycling or race walking five times a week, 40 mins for each time. a month ago i started riding bicycle to school and back home, that would add an hour bicycling to my daily work-out. but recently my knees don't feel well, so i got to stop exercising this week. going to a doctor on Monday, hope i would soon get back on the wagon :)

    I'm actually in the getting motivated phase right now. When I exercise, it's walks for about 30 minutes at a time. There is a boot camp class pretty close to my house that I'd like to try, but I struggle when I can't do all the exercises and it feels like everyone else can, so I'm working my way up there. :)

    I do body pump on Tues and Fridays at 6am. I play tennis -during indoor season-doubles for 90 min between 2 and 4 times each week. I am looking forward to playing singles when it is warm enough for outside. Other days I walk and just began to periodically go up and down the 4 flights of steps to my office. Any other tennis players?

    I've just read all of your posts....and I DEFINITELY need to move more!!!! After a one month hiatus, last week I returned to my Tues & Thurs 1-hr pilates circuit training & muscle endurance class. It's wonderful....but I am looking to all of you for inspiration on other things to do and reinforcement of how important it is for me to move more. Thanks!

    Haven't be really sticking to anything. But need to Have Shamrock 5k tomorrow but so out of shape just doing the 5k walk instead of run. Sign up for a color run in September so I need to get training for that so I can run the full course.

    I recently started training for a 5k that I will be doing in June. The plan is to jog/do my ellitpical 2-3 x's per week. Then, I am trying to do 30 day shred 3-4 days per week. I am a day treatment clinician at an alternative school. So sometimes I can play football and basketball at work too.

    I workout 4-6 days a week depending on my work schedule. I do about 40 minutes of cardio; I mix it up between walk/jog on treadmill, arc trainer, and elliptical. I usually also do a body area with weight machines (usually 8-12 different machines). I've started jogging outside in the morning, but can only do that a couples f times a week. I hate running, but I'm getting ready for a 5k and I like that I can jog before work without driving across town to the gym.

    I do 30ds on week days, finish next friday, not sure what to do next. I might just do some youtube videos, and then go back 30 ds and do the harder versions of the exercises.

    I walk everyday between 30- 60 mins.

    I do a 10 min yoga dvd 2- 3 times a week.

    I'm now trying to get out on my bike at least twice a week as that is a challenge for me. 15 mins and I'm dying, so I want to improve on that.

    And lastly I'm toying with the idea of doing c25k.
