Hi! I am on a fitness journey just like everyone else and love supporting and being supported by others. I started this group to challenge and help keep myself accountable.

My favorite type of exercise is circuit training...I love missing things up!!

What is your favorite type of exercise?

    My favorite type of exercise is cardio, especially the elliptical. I put on a movie and I forget I'm working out.

    The elliptical is my go to cardio machine when I hit the gym! I love how many calories I can burn without putting pressure on my knees.

    I just started back on MFP today after a long absence. I'm glad you happened to start this group today as I need the motivation! I'm capable and I know what to do I just haven't felt like doing anything for a while and it shows. So it'll be nice to get back into the swing of things and talk to other folks :-)

    I used to love running but lately I hate it. I'm hoping to find that love again. My favorite way of working out is Muay Thai . I love hitting mits and working the bag.

    Welcome back to MFP!! I completely understand about an extended absence to healthy choices. The important thing is that we are back to regaining control over our fitness:)

    I want this group to be a place of motivation, encouragement and accountability. Strength in numbers! I've never tried Muay Thai. Is is similar to kickboxing?

    Awesome group. Nobody has the same gym as I do so I kinda get bummed out that I don't have a workout partner.

    I was off my exercise and diet for a few months & finding my motivation was rough. But I have finally found it 21 days counting calories & 3 days straight at the gym.
    My current goal is to lose the 15 lbs I gained during my "break"

    These 30 days will be the push I need to meet my goal. Thank you :)

    I enjoy most forms of exercise when I'm actually doing it... for some reason it's the getting there that I struggle with. If I can convince myself to put on my workout gear and go I'll enjoy it but I think I just have been letting myself slack off and been lazy. During this 30 day challenge, I'm looking to lose 8-10 lbs. Overall weight loss goal is 45lbs.
    Good luck everyone!

    Love my walking/jogging/cardio! I always feel so much better when I just get out there and make myself sweat!

    There is no gym in my small town, so its videos mostly for me. I do The Firm videos. I did just roll my ankle the other day. So any suggestions of what to do to stay active but not kill my ankle as it heals?

    We will make this group our virtual gym:)

    Way to go on getting back into the habit of exercise and healthy food choices. 21 days is the magic number to start a new habit, you are well on your way to dropping the 15lbs!

    Videos are a GREAT way to work out! Between work & kids I don't always have time to go to the gym & have used quite a few programs with really awesome results.

    Bummer about your ankle!! If you have access to a pool I would suggest swimming so that you aren't putting pressure on your ankle. You could also do Pilates most of the moves are done while laying down. I have a few great videos I use let me know if you want some info.

    8-10 lbs is totally doable in this 30 day challenge!! In fact I'm going to make a 10lbs weight loss goal too!!

    Great idea for a group!
    I'm a fan of exercise that doesn't feel like exercise; walking, dancing, running...
    I think this group will be an excellent way to get some inspiration for more ways to get moving! It's so easy to get a in a rut and do the same workouts until you're sick of them and do nothing.

    Hello all! I enjoy cardio. I am not able to run due to a health issue and may not be able to anymore. I need help with the motivation to strength train. If you have any videos/dvd suggestions please let me know. I hope to use this group to stay accountable. Thanks.

    AMEN to exercise not feeling like exercise lol! I have to change things up regularly or I get bored. Right now I am into a video program that is a circuit training format plus my lunchtime workouts with my crazy coworkers...I never know what we will get into.

    Really glad you are in this group with us!!

    Welcome to our group!! Running is out for me as well :( I am finishing up treatment for a herniated disc so no more running for me...now I am a "power walker" ha ha

    I am a big fan of at home dvd workouts since I have limited extra time to get to the gym. I am currently doing the 21 Day Fix and so far I LOVE the workouts. P90X3 is awesome and so is T25. If you can't tell I am into the 30 min workouts that is about all I have time for most days lol
