im thinking about updating and changing mine, but i don't have any idea how to. i usually do 40 minutes of cardio and im just beginning to incorporate some core exercises like pushups, lunges, bicycles and squats (sort of, they're quite hard to do haha)
any help?

    Curves & Leslie Sansone in the mornings for one hour, then walking for approximately an hour every evening (about 3 miles a day), then 3 times a week I do 30 minutes on a Recumbent Bike in the evening.
    :laugh: The rest of the time I just sit around watching Oprah and eating Bon-Bons!

    Throw some planks into your routine they are great for the core! Hold the position for 30 minutes and try to do two sets of them.

    I'm still figuring some different ones out, I have a few that I stick to because I can do them without feeling self conscious in the gym, or I use the machines there. I love using the stability ball for arms and abs, and even for squats.

    I found this site, though, that has different moves and how-tos, and I really love it. You can search around for all different body parts and different things to use: http://www.fitlink.com/exercises?type=stability+ball&body_part=abdominals

    Great source of information for weight training. I use that site all the time.
    The title scares some away but its not for just for steroid consuming Hulks.

    Also you can see some amazing transformations which are really inspiring!

    I do a bunch of different things. I like to switch it up depending on my mood and it seems to help with plateauing too. I exercise at least 4 days a week, sometimes six. I will do anywhere from 30 min to 60 min. The exercise range from wii dance, aerobics on netflix or ones I bought, or walking. Sometimes I will do my resistance bands, which I need to do some more of :)

    This is what I do

    10 mins on the cross trainer

    Upper Body-

    Gravitron Tricep Dips,
    Gravitron Chin ups,
    Supported mid-row,
    Upright Row,
    Seated Chest Press,
    Tricep pressdowns
    Medicine ball rotations.


    Each of those will be 4 sets 12 reps, 10 reps, 10 reps, 8 reps

    Then finish off with my run on the treadmill about 20 mins and then 10-15 on the bike.

    Next day starts out and finishes the same

    Lower Body-

    Leg Curls,
    Lying Squat Machine,
    Thigh Extentions,
    Medicine ball rotations again.

    I hit the gym Mon/Thurs/Fri and do that that just switch which part of the body I work on. And Wednesday I do a run outside trying to get better and longer distance.

    I should add those are the machine names at the gym noy sure if there are other names lol

    I do Jillian michaels ripped in 30 DVD mon-fri in the morning before the kiddies wake up along with 3 miles walk/jog around the park with the jog stroller during the boy's lax and basketball practices. If I don't get my walk in I jump on the elliptical on the evenings after the kids are in bed.
    Sat and Sun I get to run without the jog stroller so I am working on speed and distance. I would love to add some more strength training but I just now making this work consistently so I am not ready to switch it up yet. I am reading Making the Cut and am going to be doing that once my fitness level increases some more.
