Unsure

Options
Ok, so I'm back. I need to start working out or doing something again. I lost 10 pounds from January-March but then I got a really bad cold and just never came back from my break. It's been almost 6 months and I've managed to keep the 10 lbs off (woo!) But now I need to start working out again. I guess what I need help with is motivation. I lost my workout partner and without her, plus a lot of other changes going on, I'm finding it so much easier to make excuses to not work out even though I haven't even started. So I'm looking for someone to keep me in check.

    What kind of workouts do you prefer? Strength, cardio, bit of both?

    Oh, also, home or gym? And what would you gauge your current fitness level to be? All the questions, sorry!

    What are you doing right now?
    Get up, put on your gym clothes and go work out :smile: when you don't want too is when you have the best results! And make sure you mix it up... do everything you can think of! Take various classes, do challenges.. I do everything from MMA to dance to HIIT to spin to sculpt to lifting to good old fashioned elliptical. That way you never get bored!

    Welcome Back! good work on keeping it off!

    Start with walking. Get some fresh air and a routine. Start slow... add body weight squats and lunges after you get a routine, then add push ups etc...

    Just don't run off after a 6 month break and expect to bench press 300lb.
