I alternate Turbo Jam and Chalean Extreme. I've been thinking about getting Turbo Fire, but have been having foot problems lately.

I have a membership to a pole dancing gym and it is a women's only gym (love that). They offer not only pole classes but aerobic classes. I do Zumba on Mondays for 2 hours then an ab class. Tuesday I do a 30 minute class that is like insanity then 30 minutes of abs. Wednesday I do a class that is a combo of free weights and cardio and I do 2 hours of that then 30 minutes of abs. Thursdays are different every week, sometimes I take the day off or I do a class that it is called hit it and quit it, basically we work one muscle group for one song then move to another station and work another muscle group. Fridays this month were an hour of Zumba. Then Saturdays it switches with whatever class my gym is offering. Sundays is ALWAYS my rest day, I dont do any high intense excerise. I did do yoga one Sunday and it was very relaxing and I think I might try to do that once a month.

I dont think I could do videos at home, I like going to a class not only to see the girls I work out with but also the girls motivate me to work harder!

The past two weeks I have joined a program through work for running. I do that two nights a week. I am hopefully going to be able to run 4 nights a week, strength train 3 nights a week, and do another day or two of just cardio, running, or yoga. I don't want to do major strict workouts that would be hard to keep a routine up. I use to do a crazy amount of exercise and then when I would start back with working or going to school, I couldn't keep it up and gained weight back on. I'm trying to find a happy medium. It will be easier once my family moves into our new house. It will only be maybe a 10 minute drive from our new house to my gym.

I feel like an underachiever. I've been doing nothing really. I've been making myself get up off the couch and do things around the house. Forcing myself to go up and down the stairs to do laundry seems like challenge enough at the moment.

I do sometimes do a yoga DVD that i have. I like that, cause it gets me all stretched out but I'm sweating by the end of it.

I do want to start doing something else. I would love to have the funds to start doing water class.

Maybe someone can suggest a slower paced video i could download?? Just to get me started.

I'm the kind of person who thinks running is only if the building i on fire or something is chasing you and going to eat you. :happy:

I'm answering your post because I KNOW how you feel. This was me about 2 weeks ago. I was so unmotivated to do ANYTHING! It just feels like too much work for me and not to mention how weak I was. I still am. I only started last week. What got me motivated? Pictures that I saw of myself at a wedding. It was DISGUSTING. :sick: it infuriated me to see my body like that. That's the fire that is fueling me now. I'm also watching the biggest loser series on netflix and that is very motivating. If they can why can't I?

I won't tell you what to do because I feel you need to find what will work for you. I will suggest you consider doing Slim in 6 workouts. That's what I started with. After the first day I was a bit sore for 2 days. Expect that BUT it is totally worth it because the workouts make you stronger EACH time you do them and there is no high impact movements like jogging, running, fast aerobics, etc. You don't even have to have a lot of coordination because the workouts are not fast paced. You basically do a lot of legwork, some abs and some arm movements. After doing slim in 6 I tried Jilliam Michaels 30 day shred and the workout was not as bad as I thought. It was still a hard workout but I was able to get through it and my legs weren't killing me when I did the leg work on her dvd so I truly believe slim in 6 helped my legs gain some strength. Once you have some strength the workouts become easier and it won't hurt anymore. You'll be able to handle it more. I'm also doing some walking to get some aerobic/cardio workouts in my week.

Take it one step at a time and find your motivation. You really need to get mad enough to WANT this. You Deserve to have a healthy strong body. Just think how STRONG you'll feel.

Okay, when my alarm went off this morning . . . I reset it and went back to sleep. My body just felt TIRED. I don't know if this is a result of the sugar blowout I had yesterday (daughter's 8th birthday), or what. But, I basically took an extra rest day from Insanity. Tonight, I am going for a run, might even do Day 2 of the Butt Bible workout, getting in bed early, and I'll hit Insanity tomorrow morning. I can do this, I can do this, I can . . . .

I injured my shoulder a while back and have had a really hard time finding something that burns a lot of calories without hurting. I have cycled for a few months but just started doing the TurboFire using the prep schedule and am very excited about it. I used to love my aerobics classes and this seems to be similar.
