    I workout during my lunch hour at work. There is a gym in my building. I get bored very easy so I change it up a lot. I do classes at least a couple times a week. I also do the elliptical or treadmill and weights.

    Mainly I try to just workout until my HRM tells me I've burned at least 450 calories. If I work hard enough I can do that in 45 mins.

    I'm doing an hour on the arc trainer on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and some Sundays. I also play my drums on Friday (which actually burns calories as well). I'm going to work on weights after i shed all the weight.

    Right now I am doing Insanity but when I go to the gym my week looks something like this:

    Monday: 30 min cardio; chest/legs
    Tuesday: 30 min cardio; back/abs
    Wednesday: 30 min cardio; shoulders/legs
    Thursday: 30 min cardio; tri's/abs
    Friday: 30 min cardio; bi's/legs

    On ab and leg day I do different exercises. When starting over the following week I use different equipment for example if I used the lat machine for my back the next week I'll use the assisted pull up machine and do 1 arm pullups, regular pull ups etc. and for the other days if I used the smith press then I'll use free weights the next time around.

    When the weather is nice out I usually take the dog for a long, brisk walk in the evening as well.

    When I'm done with Insanity and back at the gym I'm probably going to continue with at least a 6 (or even 7) days a week exercise routine.

    Just my opinion, but you will have less flab if you tone as you go. Meaning, you should incorporate some kind of weight training NOW. I lost over 100 pounds, and I'm not that flabby because I was toning as I go. I'm not saying you have to be intense about it, start out with a little bit, and gradually increase as you lose weight. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or want some suggestions!

    I have set days and times. In the past I didn't have a set schedule and I would miss getting to work out because I would have something that had to be done.

    But, I know every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday at 7:30 I'll be doing 35 mins of aerobics and 25 mins of toning.

    And Saturday is bonus day. I will get out and do something physically challenging and fun - bike rides, hike, snow shoe something

    I'm a SAHM so when i first started on my weight loss journey last August, I would walk for an hour to an hour and a half a day with my 2 year old in her jogging stroller. Then i gradually began slowly jogging with the stroller on and off. Then one day i decided that i wanted to start running seriously....entered my first 5k and fell in love. I started running solo since then and currently run 5 miles every day. I also do weight training 3-4 times a week....deadlifts, squats, lost of arm stuff and an ab set, etc...
    I believe the biggest key to success is finding something you really love and would look forward to doing. Like someone else said, give a few things a whirl and see what u really enjoy doing and don't be afraid to change it up either!!
    Good luck!
