Hi Mary,

I would also like to see us all succeed in 2013. I am doing kettlebells every other day. I haven't done it seriously in over a year, so I am easing my way back into it.

I like treadmill only in warm weather, mine is in my cold garage. Also, in the past for some odd reason no matter how much I walked on the treadmill. I never lost weight from it, I just had larger calf muscles.

2 years ago when I was doing the kettlebell regularly, only 20 minutes 3x a week, I felt so strong, had better posture and after doing it for like a month the pounds started to just melt. I went from a size 16 to a size 12 in 2 months. Unfortunately- cold winter weather came along and "Knocked me Out "(I have health issues that flare up in cold weather) .

I have now only been doing the kettlebells for 2 weeks and only 10 minutes 3x per week and I already am getting a little spring in my step. With this exercise and with alot of strength training I know that the results don't always show up on the scale, it shows more in the measurements.

I am walking on the treadmill and have started Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred. I have lifted a few weights, but right now trying to establish a routine again.

I do a combo as my schedule changes regularly and I have a family to keep a priority.
Goals
- Cardio 3-4 days a week (before family wakes up or over lunch)
- Strength training 3-4 days a week (full body, split workouts, crossfit at home Bob Harper DVDs

Hi, my name is Monica I am a mother of 5 kids. When it is cold outside or I can't get to the gym we have 3 wii games that I do with my kids wii Dance Dance, Just Dance or Dance Disney. I don't get as good of work out as the gym but I am having fun with my kids.

how do you log the jillian michaels dvd into MFPal? I just started it but not sure how to count it into my exercercise log.

I had that problem with another dvd ~ my daughter who's a MFP pro said to add it under circuit training because of the type of workout it is and then just adjust your minutes. Another option is to create an exercise and add the amount of calories burned (you could do this if you use a heart rate monitor that calculates them).

Okay, I've only been back "on plan" for 5 days, but I do a variety of exercises as I get bored easily. I do DVDs at home....Jillian Michaels is a favorite, I have several of hers. (I have to build up to those, though, because I'm so unfit & she knocks me out so much that it's hard to excercise for a day or two afterward!)

I just started doing Core Fusion 30 Day Sculpt & really like it. It's contains 30 daily workouts, each one different, so you just go in order & don't get bored...plus it's only 20 minutes so I can fit it in even on busy days. I feel it afterward, without being overly sore, and it has aspects of both cardio and strength.

I love to hike and snowshoe, but it's icy lately (I live in New England) so I haven't done much of either.

I too will do Wii Just Dance with my kids, & that's actually not a bad workout. It's fun for both me and the kids, and we're all getting a workout without feeling like it's work.

Have a small elliptical at home (no handles, tucks away behind the couch, I love it), and this gives me a decent workout if I use hand weights or do arm movements while on it.

My trying-to-be realistic goal is 30min/day, which lately has been a 20min DVD plus 15min on the elliptical.

I want to get fit enough to do some of the harder workouts that some of you have mentioned.

My exercise right now is training for my first ever 10k. Last year I trained for a 5k so I wanted to up it a little this year. I am also doing a 5k Foam Fest Mud Run. It is an obstacle course. Looks exciting. I am also doing Turbo Fire. I had started it before but got sick for about a month straight with upper respitory issues but I am back at it and into my 3rd week. I just ordered Brazilian Butt lift so we will see how that goes.
