Hi! I am working my way up from walking to jogging and am hoping to be running by the end of this challenge! Have a great day!0

I am going to be doing The advanced Series from Slim in 60
-
I'll be doing a bunch of walking (have a 5 month old puppy that requires - demands - at least a 40 minute walk daily.) I do a lot of strength training too. LOVE kettlebell workouts. I'm hoping to add maybe some running and heavy lifting to my routine too.0
-
Awesome. Thats' a realistic goal too! Can't wait to see how things go.0
-
Wow! The advanced series. That's a great workout. I'm looking forward to hearing about your progress.0

That's great. That's actually the best way to start a running program. I can't wait to see how things progress. Have a good day.0

My exercise goal......at least 4 or 5 times a week I plan on trying to get 1 hour of something in. That something will be any combination of walking/running both outside and on the treadmill, using the elliptical, some strength training, and my personal favorite....WATP videos. I like them because at my age, 57, I feel like I'm getting a good all over workout. I just did a 50 minute/ 4 mile WATP video. I didn't realize when I turned it on, that it was one using hand weights, and the only ones I had nearby were my 5 pound ones. So I did 45 minutes of the video using the 5 lb ones. Afterwards, my arms were burning and I was sweating like crazy! I feel great!0

oh and continue the 30 day abs challenge (today is day 14) and starting 30-day arms challenge in september.0 -
I will continue doing steady cardio that I like to do interval training with on the Elliptical machine since i have one at my house. That is the easiest for me since I don't have to leave the house to work out. I also will continue my strength training, I do lunges, squats, crunches on my weight bench, etc. I also like to throw in some jump rope for cardio because it really challenges me
I cant get very far with it yet though! lol some days of the week i throw in running or tennis instead of the Elliptical.
However, My main goal is to add in pilates and/or yoga to my routine and keep working out at least 4 days a week, but I'd like to commit to try to do 5! And maybe lengthen my work outs a little bit Right now they're typically around 30min. YAY! excited! :happy: 0 -
That's great and sounds like a great plan! Everyone should include flexibility and stretching for a complete well balanced fitness routine. I'm excited and looking forward to your progress!! 0

Hi! I'm going into my 6th week of T25 it's awesome. I have another group going on MFP for T25 and if you haven't joined it yet feel free to do so. I love this workout and I'm sure you will too! Glad to have you in the challenge and I look forward to your posts in the next 90 days.0

I'm going to try to walk between 45 mins to 1 hour 5 times a week rain (usually I stop but going to try not to) or shine. Haven't decided if I'm going to do Insanity again or not or do the Hip Hop Abs. So at the moment not to sure but definitely will be doing something other then sitting on my butt. 0

Sounds like a plan! Welcome to the challenge and I'm excited to have you!0

Hi there! My plan right now is to continue my Zumba workouts two to three times per week plus a 30 day arm challenge (mostly daily) and walking two days per week.

I'm going to start Jillian Michael's Ripped in 30 to start. I'll do some walking for a few weeks after that and then start Jillian's Body Revolution.0
-
Great! Glad to have you in the challenge!0

I will be doing JNL Fusion and have my workout calendar created and hanging above my scale. The only time I really have to work out is early in the morning so I told my husband that starting next Monday he needs to make sure I am out of the bed before he leaves at 5:30 am!!
I am excited to start up with everyone!!0 -

I'm currently in week 3 of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution - so another 9 weeks and I'll be done her schedule. Then I am going to go onto T25.0
-
Great! T25 is awesome I'm finishing up the 6th week and loving it. If you have any questions about the program let me know. I have a special facebook group going for that, so if you are interested in joining that too when you get the program let me know. I've had some awesome results with it so far. Although, I haven't been following the meal plan to the tee it's simple and easy to follow. It's laid out real nice, and is the easiest of all the beachbody programs I think. I'm excited to have you in the challenge and I look forward to your progress and posts. I'm not really familiar with the JM body revolution but she's a tough cookie so I'm sure your results will be great!!! 0

I do my cardio using my elliptical, treadmill and workout videos. I seem to do best every other day. For weight training I usually train just one muscle group in a day on my Life Fitness gym. When I train my legs (which is the biggest and hardest), I usually can't do a full cardio workout. I use a machine for weight training (legs, chest and back); except I use free weights for shoulders, triceps and biceps. I also get on my Total Gym once or twice a week for a routine if I can't face the weights.
I'm use to weight training but I'm not getting much weight loss. I'm trying Carb Nite Solution now. Since I'm already a low carber, this won't be too hard for me to do. CNS is known for breaking plateaus. Seems just starting off I'm at a plateau. It's always been easy for me to lose weight but this time not so much. I'm wondering if it is because I have continued to weight train through my weight gains.
I don't know. I'm trying to figure it all out and get losing. I do see some sculpting but nothing on the scale. I went down 3 lbs, then gained it back then loss it, and have been bouncing up and down a pound. Dreaming of seeing some real losses soon after over a month now...0 -
Hi! Nice to hear about your workouts. The plateau may be because your body is used to what you're doing and it needs to be challenged in a different way. I taught aerobic kickboxing for 12 years and I reached a plateau with that workout and had to change things up to see a change. Even just a different routine may be enough to do it. Another option could be to examine your diet. I've found that on occasion that has been my problem. At the beginning of the challenge which starts next week take your measurements, weight, etc and every week or every couple of weeks check your progress. Please don't use the scale to gauge your progress, because if you're losing inches you are making a change. I am here for you if you need anything. Have fun and I look forward to your progress and am excited to have you. Take care.0
