HA!
I started the C25K app also, and stopped after the 3rd week. smh.
AND, I actually HAVE a 5K to do this Saturday for the firs time ever. So we'll see.
I do want to finish that training as well this summer.

Right now, I'm doing Zumba 2-3 times a week. I'm still going to my cultural African dance class every Saturday.
I've been doing either jumping rope, dancing on my own, bike or elliptical for the other days of the week to get cardio in for 30+minutes.

:flowerforyou: My daily exercise challenges at work for this week are:
20 'shoulder presses' each hour
20 'lateral arm raises' each hour
20 'seated calf raises' each hour
20 'knee raises' for every trip to bathroom
**I did like 120 of each arm and leg exercise yesterday! So it really adds up! And I can feel the burn a bit today.

I'm going for a walk at lunch and at home while the weather is nice (they're calling for rain).

Uh... I'll do yoga and arm strength training tomorrow!
I try to have A LOT of options so I don't get bored or start to feel like it's too much of a 'routine'..! :bigsmile:

Right now I'm doing a mix of cardio and weigt training. TF a couple of times a week. Speed workout from T25 couple times a week, great warm up before weights, some HIIT and Kettlebell and of course Sunday yoga.

On February 27th, I started a strength training program called Wendler 5/3/1 and include assistance exercises (chin-ups/pull-ups, dips, good morning, bicycle, rows, lunges, and leg curls).

I elected to do Wendler 5/3/1 three days per week which revolves around four main lifts (squat, bench press, deadlift, overhead press) done on separate days. On none lifting days I do some form of cardio.

30 Day Shred Level 3, C25K 3 times a week, kettlebell workout twice a week and walking

I envy those of you that have the discipline to workout with home videos, I just don't have the concentration to commit

This is why I love the rewind button. When I get distracted during the routine, I usually rewind back to where I left off. Since do my T25 videos in the morning before work, I don't have all day to get through the session, so it forces me to focus. If I was in a public exercise class, I'd probably just sneak out the back if I missed too many steps.

With T25 my main goals are
- to do all of the Alpha and Beta routines without stopping
- then to do them all without following the modifier. That's the person who changes the exercises to be "easier" with less jumping

I try to work in walking and biking wherever I can. I sometimes take the long way to do stuff to get extra steps in. I also use a FitBit, MapMyWalk and MapMyRide iPhone apps to track burned calories.

To make sure my gym membership doesn't go to waste, I try to go at least once a week. Definitely easier to do when I wasn't doing T25. Even though I may try other DVD programs in the future, like Hip Hop Abs or P90X3, I probably won't follow the schedule so strictly. Then I can mix in other stuff without feeling like I'm killing myself. The most important thing to me is to get regular exercise.

I currently go to Zumba 3 times a week and try to do at least 2 x 1 hr sessions at the gym.
I have heard of the following Workout vids: Billy Blanks Bootcamp, Jillian Micheals 30 day shred & No more trouble zones, P90X - Extreme Home Fitness, Shaun T's Hip Hop abs, Tae Bo Cardio, And Kettlebells workout not to mention the equipment I am hoarding (stepper, push bike, skipping rope, weighted hula hoop, slendertone abs machine etc - hubby says I could start my own gym)

I have not tried any, I think I have to much and do nothing with it all. Need to find the right one and commit to it. Any recommendations as to which will work the whole body, are for all levels and are fun.

I Try to get this workout in 3X per week. Its a Great Full Body routine that can be done anywhere.

Update: Pam’s Max Lift Circuit Routine.....

This routine designed by me along with son's suggestions (he and my DIL lift weights). The focus is weight loss, leaner muscle mass, strength, endurance, and the ability to perform fully three “unassisted” chin-ups. It will revolve around 3 days of total body lifting exercises, 2 days of cardio (some Hill Sprints), and 3 days of unassisted chin-ups (performed at the best of my ability). I will re-evaluate the exercise and dumbbell sizes at the end of 30 days.

I was the same way I have Insanity and Turbofire and stopped after a week on both and gym is just not an option with a 2 year old and full time job so I just decided to do it and have pushed play almost everyday on my current program thank goodness:-)

I'm doing Tae Bo and exercises from Fitness Blender. I rotate them monthly. I tried Jillian Micheals, but there's so much jumping and I have a bad knee and had to quit,

I have been doing T25. I am currently on week 2 of Beta (starting today).

I also am doing (started yesterday) a 100 day fitness challenge. Basic premise is that you work out for 100 days in a row. My end date is Sept 9th.

I also am starting C25K today.

I know it will be a challenge especially since I am getting ready to move out of state. Working out is a big stress reliever for me so this will be good.

great post!

I'm doing DailyBurn.com's Beginner's track. I walk on the treadmill 5 days a week for 30 mins. and do weights 3 times a week.
