in Introduce Yourself
My goal is to lose about 20-25 lbs by summer. That's all I have left to get back to being fit. I like doing Zumba and walking. I don't really do much but I am looking to start adding more cardio to my workouts too. I had a workout buddy but she is moving up to New York in a week and I will be moving to Texas in a few months. I would like to find some people to talk to and plan workouts with. Feel free to add me.

    Zumba & walking are cardio ......did you mean add strength training?

    I use DVDs for strength training......not good at the do-it-yourself workouts.

    Yep! I swear by my at-home work-outs! I currently use YouTube videos and subscribe to ToneItUp, JessicaSmithTV, Blogilates, XHIT, Fit Sugar... Some others as well... It helps so I never get bored! Wish I could subscribe to a Zumba streaming one... I can never make the Zumba schedule classes by me and the DVDs get boring since they don't change...

    I work out just at home. I have one piece of equipment, a stair climber, then I like to do just videos off of you tube really, I just search whatever kind of workout i'm in the mood for and find one that is an amount of time that I want and that looks good! I also have 30 day shred by Jillian Micheals which I must admit I have never completed but I like to take it out here and there for a nice 20 min. workout as well.

    me and the hubby have been working out at home for a while now. We quit the gym over a year ago. No more driving there and forgetting stuff. No more waiting for "that guy" to get off the one machine you need to finish your workout. We get to work on our schedule. He has lost 85 lbs and I have gotten back into shape after a bad accident left me in a wheelchair for about 4 months. We have a nice collection of different workouts so we are never bored.

    I go to Jazzercise a couple of times a week, its more of a circuit with cardio and weights than zumba. Then on the off days me and hubby are doing JM 30 day shred, and no more trouble zones. Again incorporates light weights.
    My next goal is to start heavy lifting

    I owe most my success to jillians Body Revolution. Totally worth the money and I never went to a gym. Check out my photos on my page and add me!

    No I do some strength training at the gym. I just started with the Zumba as my cardio workouts.

    You want to raise your heart rate? Sledgehammer, Heavy Rope, and a big tire. There are a number of things you can do with just those three that will wear you out.
