in Introduce Yourself
So for New Years I'm going back to being vegetarian and I want to workout everyday for at least 30 minutes. I want to drop least 20Ibs for 2016.
My issue is, whenever I try to workout I quickly lose motivation to continue because I haven't found any kind of workout I even slightly enjoy and doesn't feel like death.. Being that it's winter, I don't think walking would really do much, so I'd rather find some workout routines I can do at home. I'd like some fun HIIT workouts that I can build myself up to more calorie burning exercises, but if you can suggest some type of easy strength training or yoga I can try it'd help tons!

    When I don't feel like going out, I like to find workout videos on YouTube. I also live in an apartment building, so I have stairs I can walk/run.

    There's really no workout you'll "enjoy" from the jump you just gotta have the mind set that whatever you're doing is for the greater good and will help better yourself.....overtime you'll notice you actually now want to do it cuz you enjoy it. :)

    I've recently discovered some pretty awesome Kettle Bell routines that can be moderated to whatever intensity you desire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uepe2BmqlYo
    Also, add me as a friend. I have some weight to lose and never mind the company!

    30 minutes, that's all it takes, of absolutely anything. put on some music, put on some shorts, and do it. YOU WILL NEVER REGRET any exercise you do

    My area isnt safe at night, not subscribe to gym, and I rent only a very very small room (no space to even do real push-ups). So I will be focusing my workout in room as well.

    Alternating between jog on the spot, wall push-up and squats. I'm still a newbie and these dont burn much, but at least a little is better than nothing.

    Yoga by Adriene is what I always do at home. It's on YouTube.

    Shaun t is the *kitten*! I did two rounds of insanity, did hip hop abs, and I'm starting asylum tomorrow. Sagi from body beast is really fun too, but you need a lot of weights to do his videos.
