When I first started working out I was so determined I would go to the gym 3-5 times per week back in early 2007. I got hooked I loved it I loved seeing the results that working out and eating right brought me. Somewhere along the way that motivation left me and I stopped going to the gym. I started going again spuratically this last year but just couldnt get the motivation I had in 2007. Finally I joined this site and kept hearing about Jilliian Micheals 30 day shred and so I "rented" it from the library to see if I liked it. Instantly I loved it. The video had moves that my old personal trainer was doing with me right before I stopped working out. So I thought wow it must be good. I love this site and just going through many posts and blogs this afternoon has just filled me with inspiration to keep going. Im always looking for new support so add me as a friend and lets do this together :) I just ordered Billy Blank Tea bo and another JM video .... I keep hearing about turbo fire and insanity but they are too pricey for me at this time .... I hope to get there soon.......sending good vibes out :)

    Same here girl! I got tired of having to travel to the gym and having to get there by a certain time! I haven't been to the gym in almost a year! I do all my workouts at home now unless I'm going to take a friend's live class. And I LOVE Turbo Fire and Insanity :)

    I have no gyn in my town so I got a collection of workout DVD's, you name it I have it. I just got 10 minute trainer and I say WOW! What a workout! Better than Jillian Michaels. I also like to go out for walks and jog. I guess its nice to mix it up.

    I can't afford a gym, and my workout time is usually sometime between 445a-630am and I would not have time to get to a gym and back to do a workout before I have to get ready for work, so I decided to work out at home.
    I bought Biggest Loser Cardio Max to start, and I really like that. Then I got YourShape Fitness for Xbox Kinect and love it. After doing YourShape I was looking for something kinda cardio and kickboxing...so I got Billy Blanks Bootcamp and while I like it it was not exactly what I was looking for, so recently I got Billy Blanks This is Tae Bo and I love it! OH I forgot, I have Zumba for Xbox Kinect and love that also, and a couple other dance games. I have yoga and some cardio workouts on my Netflix too. I am trying to work out a schedule of workouts with all those but so far I just do whatever workout I feel like doing each morning. I am thinking of making a schedule of MWF cardio and TTH yoga/pilates but I am not sure yet! I love working out at home though a lot more then I ever thought I would!

    Welcome back to the land of the living!! Don't you feel SOOOOO much better??
    I worked out EVERY day last year and MAYBE (just maybe) 30 of those days came from a gym, the rest were dvd workouts, elliptical, treadmill and running or walking outside at my rural residence!! Working out helps you stay young! And boy do I have to do that cuz 52 is at the end of the month!!
    I wish you many happy and healthy days to come!!!!
