Need workout advice

i have no clue. thats why i don't use dvd's regularly cause they are the same thing and bore me. i do at least 30 min on the treadmill, and i also have two wii active games for my wii, and i like that cause there is somehting different everyday, and there are 3 diff levels so anyone can do it. and as for my dvd's i just pick a different on out about 3-4 days a week and add them into the other two things i do. that way i don't get bored and i'm doing a differnet workout so my body doesn't get used to it too. good luck finding one you like. alot of ppl i know like the 30 day shred from jillian. again it bored my quick.

Youtube has a ton of workout videos on it and they are all free

Find a friend or two and go speedwalking and/or running. There is nothing more fun than exercising with friends outside. We even started a bootcamp class with jump ropes and bands. Videos bore me to death.

I made this work out for my cousin. So I thought I would post it to help you out.

15 minute on the stairs (not the stepper the actual stairs that circulate)

12 reps 3 sets of each - Don’t do it in a row do one then the other until you have done each 3 times or you will get bored.

- Use a medicine ball or 3-5 lbs do a normal squat. The arms are in a 90 degree angle and your hands next to your head. As you go to squat press your arms up. (Shoulder press).
- Walking lunge 6 one way 6 back (if you can with lbs in your hand use them)
- Lay on a matt with your legs up in exactly 90 degree angle.
- Plank – 15 seconds

After the 3 reps are done of each then continue to this..

- Pick up ball squat. Put your legs in a wide stance toes pointed out place a ball or lbs on the ground right in front of you. Squat pick up the lbs and lift above head and squat to put it back on the floor. That counts as one.
- Backward knee lunge. Stand in a normal stance. Bring your knee in front of you like you are about to kick and bring it back in to a lunge. Do each leg separate 12 each side. This should be done in place; there is no traveling.
- Bcycles – I am assuming you know how to do these.

This should take about 45 minute. If it is not do some miscellaneous arm exercises like tricep dips, bicep curls, and crunches.

15 minutes on the elliptical (intervals)
3 minutes run 3 minute walk for 12 minute
3-5 minute cool down

This workout done at a quick pace could burn 650-800 calories

even though it may sound like a broken record........ Jillian's 30 day shred, (any of her DVD's really) and the Jackie Warner Total Body are awesome. You'll want to add some outside cardio with the Jakie Warner though. You can even stop the dvd after each section and do jumping jacks, jog in place, butt kicks, mtn climbers, whatever you like for two min. then restart the DVD

I have the Kettleworx program of DVDs which are 20 mins each + about 5 min warmup / cool down. They are really good and I do one cardio, one core and one resistance a week. I also have just bought the 30 day shred so can't really comment having only done day 1 today - although it was good!!! On top of this I do one 30 min run a week, one 60 min spin class and a cross training session for 45 mins - all short and sweet but keep me out of trouble :-)
I think variation is the key - just have a few different ways to exercise to keep the variation or else you will get bored and give up!
Good luck!

Thanks everybody! I don't think I'm ready for P90X. In searching my cable company, I discovered a bunch of workouts on Exercise TV on Demand. It even has Jillian's 30 Day shred and about 25 different 30 minute workouts. I'm going to try some of those and hopefully work up to P90X.

I love exercise TV! have fun!
