Mike, this is a duplicate post...I'm not sure where you want us to ask questions!!
This is the extent of my workout at the moment...I do anticipate improvement with the Physical Therapy, etc.
Thanks!
Mike,
My name is Pam. Do you have any recommendations for those who are physically challenged? I've just entered Physical Therapy and see a Chiropractor. I am unable to stand more than 10*15 min/at a time, or walk more than about the same amount of time w/o having to stop due to pain and weakness in low back, heels and left hip. So right now, my cardio is walking up my 9 stairs to my apartment 1*2 X day. Other time is spent in recliner recovering from those 10*15 min of standing or walking. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks so much for putting this group together and I'm so looking forward to this. ! Blessings, Pam:)0 -

Reading all of these I feel like the biggest slacker. I do a brisk walk about 30 minutes a day if I can. Otherwise I find other cardio ways, such as a 60 minute heavy clean of the house, or washing a load or two of clothes by hand. (which definitely works the arm and stomach muscles)
I do not have a gym membership (nor plan on getting one anytime soon) and do strength training with canned goods and other heavy objects here in the house.
I'd love to be able to run, but at this time I can't even pull off a simple jog. I'll get there though!
I definately do not think you should feel like a slacker!!! You are here with all of us and your doing something!!! Thats is a start! No one ever goes from a sedintary life to being active and fit overnight... its a process!!! And its as much a mental challange as as physical challange. I for one have been very guilty of thinking " i cant do that" ... but oh the power you feel when you do!!! Its all about one goal at a time and one day at a time. When i started running i could barely walk around the track one time without Being out of breath but someone kept saying to me... "Yes you can!"... you are NOT a slacker! Youve done the hardest part which is getting started!! The rest of it will just be power and progress!!!0 -
I JUST did week 1, day 1, c25k. Signed up for my first 5k in July. Other than that I have fizzled out on my workouts. I HAVE Nike+ trainer for xbox, Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire. I have lots of workout support but I'm good at sabotaging myself! Looking to get back into a regular routine!0

Hi, I'm Marcia I am am on week 4 of P90X. I actually like it...BUT... in the 4 weeks I have been doing it I have lost a grand total of 2 pounds... when I started the program i was eating 1800 calories, I just dropped to 1600 last Tuesday. The program recommends I eat more but I only lost weight after I reduced my cals.. Question is am I on the right track????? Help
The premise of P90x is to increase lean muscle so you will not lose a great deal of weight in weeks 1-6 but 7-12 you should start to drop body fat and weight because your metabolism will be faster due to the increase in lean muscle. 1600 is fine however. Just make sure you are eating protein around the workouts and fruit pre workout to fuel the workouts. I think you will be fine Marcia keep on keeping on!!0 -

Pam. Do you have full use of your upper body? IF you do I would recommend circuits in your chair after your 10-15 minutes of standing. DB Curls DB Presses DB Overhead Extensions Front Raises Lateral Raises, Chair Crunches, Knee Lifts, Deep Breathing, etc.
Google: Seated Exercises grab some 3-7 pound dumbbells and get cranking Im sure this will help you. Perform 3 sets of 15 repetitions for each exercise you find and do this 3 days per week!!
You have inspired me I wish you the very best !!0 -

o.k I just joined and am starting to workout again....holy after reading most of these posts i truly need to get moving. I plan on starting the 30 day shred tomorrow and doing a walk/run workout on treadmill 6 days a week. Needing to put strenght in there somewhere.0

This month I am focusing on abs...doing an ab challenge and Hip Hop abs...workingout 6 days a week.

I have recently changed jobs. Before i rode in a golf cart if i went anywhere on our 90 acre campus. Now i walk, at least 20 minutes a day. Also, old building had an elevator, new building has stairs, so i am walking those also. Started back on curves this morning, aimming for three times a week at least.0

Curently I am doing Chalean Extreme the burn series (for strength) and hip hop abs (for cardio)0
-
I do something every day. I walk to and from work Monday - Friday which is a total of 35-40 minutes (fast paced). After work I do a 30-45 minute DVD (was 30 Day Shred - now ChaLEAN Extreme). CLX consists of 3 days of heavy lifting, 2 days of cardio plus abs and/or yoga/stretch. Chalean recommends 2 rest days... but I don't really know what that means. :-) I use an HRM and typically burn 300-400 calories a day every day working out - more if I go skiing. I let my gym membership lapse as I'm loving this routine and have been doing it consistently since the end of December.0
