I have managed to lose a whole 30 lbs since July 2010...and have plateaued yet again! 10 lbs is all I want to lose. My stat's are 5'3" and 125 lbs. Since July , I have gained the ability to run 5 miles, blow 30 day shred out of the water, and am now bored with my No More Trouble Zones video. I like to eat so I will continue to eat back my excercise calories with a net of 1200 to 1400. I love the muscular definition that I am gaining but do not wish to "bulk up" .
That said..I am very happy with the "sweat and burn " that I get from Tae bo and Jillians-Banish Fat Boost Metabolism( I find them very challenging) but those are predominantly cardio. Can someone suggest something to take me to the next level in strength training without expensive equipment and a gym membership..a certain video maybe?

The Jillian videos are circuit training..I need some education on intervals though...Help..lol.0

Only cardio: Jump Rope Routine
4 rounds
4 mins - jump 30 x's and mark on paper
1 min - Leg up/downs (one ab exercise)
Then repeat 4 times and there is 20 mins.
At the end of your work out you tally up the amount of jumps/skips for each round. Its fun bc the next week you try to beat it. So you are competing with your self!
Interval timers work the best for this so you dont have to keep stopping to look at a stop watch.
These other workouts include cardio too bc they are circuits and done fast. PS the numbers are my records; I copied and pasted them from my forums.

Ok I suggest doing Ripped in 30. Its so much harder then the other videos and a great change that you will like.
As for intervals I do them for all my cardio. Like today i was on the treadmill and did a Jillian interval. It would be walk 5 minutes at like 3.7 with say 5 incline then jog 2 minutes at like 5.2 with 2 incline.
Here is a link on why do intervals:

really it will increase your metabolism. So you could go out for a run. You would sprint and then jog or walk. sprint then jog or walk.0 -

oops...I will try intermingling the sprints with my jogging when I go..I have trouble getting out of the house for this so I will have to pick up Ripped in 30.--I was skeptical to begin with that it wouldn't be as hard as the longer videos of hers but then again, I haven't met a Jillian video I didn't love!0 -
