What workout program are you doing?

Adonis Index. This is by far the most enjoyable lifting program I have followed. It is also the most logical I have seen to get the shape you want.

The women's version is Venus Index.

5/3/1 with Periodization Bible (lifting). I also train with kettlebells and walk.

I'm in week 6 of TurboFire and 2 weejs ago I added in ChaLean Extreme Circuits 3 times a week for strength training. I'm losing major inches each week especially since adding CLX My weight loss is slower than average due to health issues that slow my metabolism but I've lost 5 pounds which is good for me. I'm averaging 6-7 inches lost each week between all my measurements combined - I lost 2" from my waist just last week - and dropped 2 shirt sizes and 1 jeans size.

I am much more consistent and motivated when I have a schedule to follow with a variety of classes. Both programs I do are Chalene Johnson programs. She's so motivating, explains each move in detail and overall a great trainer.

TurboFire is 12-17 classes depending the dvd set for 12 - 20 weeks. It's intense cardio/HIIT that is kickboxing moves, a little dancey and has plyo, squats and lunges mixed in to upbeat music. There is a low impact modifier in each class that still keeps the intensity. HIIT - high intensity interval training- is one of the most efficient ways to burn calories and is super-effective at boosting your metabolism for 18-24 hours post-workout. I currently burn 120 - 150 calories per 10 minutes depending on the class, I'm never bored and find new ways to challenge myself and increase intensity as my fitness level and endurance increases. Most days I have so much fun doing the classes that I forget I'm working out.

ChaLean Extreme is a strength training class geared towards women that focuses on lifting heavier weights for less reps so your muscles reach failure in 10-12 reps. How much weight you use depends on you individual strength and there's a modifier for resistance bands. It's super effective at building lean, toned mucles - I did 5 weeks in 2011 and had never been so toned before, especially my arms, back & shoulders. I stopped bc I reinjured my ankle and had to go back on crutches and regret not starting up again sooner.

Most workout programs have sample classes available on YouTube. Whatever you choose, make sure it's a program you enjoy and will look forward to everyday. Good luck!

Anything I can get my hands on for cheap. I have most of the Jillian Michael's DVDs and sets. Late 80's, early 90's step aerobics DVDs are a blast, fitness and dance games for the Wii and Wii U. My big thing right now is searching Youtube and using workout videos off there. Believe it or not a lot of gyms and health clubs are videoing some of their classes and posting them on Youtube. They are great, you don't even have to leave your home to workout!

I'm doing 30DS right now. Completed day 9 this morning. Will be moving to Level 2 on Wednesday. Not noticing any changes, but I have been binging a bit and was already near maintenance. Hoping to get the binging under control, have been in control since yesterday. It's a start, right?

I'm also doing 30-45 minutes on the recumbent bike just minutes after 30DS. I'm doing this so that I can eat more. I'm only burning about 165 calories in Level 1 of 30DS, and that's not enough for what I want/NEED to eat. Another 300 or so calories from the recumbent bike.

I do a "Body Pump" class at my gym. Also spinning at least 2x per week. Or I go to the park and run sprints and up hill. I tried to do those 30 day shred videos but i can't. It's just boring to me and I lack motivation if I'm working out alone to a video. That's why I prefer the Body pump and spin classes at my gym.

4 or 5 days a week of running. I always use a training plan when training for a race, but my next half marathon isn't until October so I'm between plans right now. So mon-fri I do 3 days of 3-5 miles with one interval day and a long run of 8-10 miles on Sundays.

I also follow the You Are Your Own Gym body weight strength program using the ap. I totally recommend this as a beginner program especially if you can't fit the gym into your life. You do it at home for 30 mins 4 times a week. I ususlly combine workouts though and do 1 hour 3 times a week.

My runs I do on my lunch hour at work. YAYOG I do after the kid is in bed at night and chores are done, so around 9pm. Works for me.

Starting week 4 of Insanity today! I am getting addicted to it.

this and running 3 x a week for 40 mins outside

30 Day Shred. I'm on day 2. After that, I'll be starting Insanity (August 1st)

I'm doing the "whatever I feel like doing" program. I don't think I could stick with a program because I get bored so easily and I'm sure I would give up quickly doing the same kind of thing over and over.

Insanity. I am on day 36, which is the first day of month two. I haven't seen the scale move (at all), but I do see a difference in my body. I'll take that.

Jazzercise! I absolutely love it - and knowing I can still travel and go to other Jazzercise centers thru out the U.S. is even more of a plus. The ladies are fabulous - very supportive, very knowledgeble, very understanding. I am very thankful that my friend invited me - now I can't seem to get enough! :happy:

NO program...just the "jill program"....

I'm finishing up George St. Pierre's Rush Fit. Then on to Body Beast.
