I'm doing YouV2 the new Beachbody workout. It's perfect for what I need and where I am right now. Plus it's tons of fun.0

Yesterday I finished my week 1 of c25k. Also did an hr of yoga/Pilates class in my gym. It's been 10days since I joined the gym and I have made it 8 days. I was losing weight before I joined. But I have put on an lb or two after joining. Now it seems to come down gradually.0

I have used "Leslie Sansone: Walk Slim - 5 Really Big Miles" and it works. It has different sections you can choose from or do the entire video and it comes with a resistance band. I loved doing it when it was too hot outside, I'm in Houston, TX so completely understand the heat. The only reason I stopped is because I moved and can't find the DVD, but plan on buying again.1 -

Day one of Couch to 5K yesterday...I love running, used to do it alot and I'm excited to get back into it.
I will also be working out at home, no equipment, and I want to find YouTube videos to follow until I find something I love. Starting this tonight with my 12 year old daughter. Very excited for this as well.
If you like zumba, I can share with you a couple of links to my zumba workouts on youtube... it is basically a playlist I did with my favorite zumba videos and I follow along as I would in a real live zumba class...
I would like this! I love zumba!
Try this one....

Currently I'm doing walking/running intervals for at least 2 miles Mon-Fri, but getting a little hot so need a new plan soon. And I'm going to the gym on Saturday and Sunday for the weight machines. Everyone tells me I need a rest day, but as long as I see results and don't do the same thing all 7 days I'm going to keep going as I am.
I also just started a more structured meal plan that consists something every 3 hours: egg whites for breakfast; a protein shake 3 hours later; 4 oz of good protein, 1 cup of veggies, 2/3 cup of starch for lunch; another protein shake 3 hours later; 4 oz of good protein, 2 cups of veggies for dinner.0 -

Thanks for the info, Janine. I'm in Arizona and I am definitely going to look into this one for those days I can't make it to the gym.0 -

They're 140 calories (kind of a lot I think) but it has 25g of protein. And combined with my other food and exercise I'm still able to stay under my daily goal. I also go to planet fitness and mines open 24 hrs, but you might check with the gym by you.0 -

LOL! I hate them too. I can't physically do a real one...I've tried. When it comes to throwing my feet back after I put my hands on the ground, NOPE. I might as well just bang my face into the floor. I have to do one leg at a time!0 -

Ahhhhhh! I never knew there was a modified version....HOW CLEVER...well in that case I may try them now. They just literally make me feel like I am about to die and instead of getting discouraged and angry I omit them. Thanks for the tip

I have been going to my gym since about February, but I am trying to go more often and be more consistent with it.
Right now, what I do is cardio. I'm not a big fan of the treadmill (I'm only 22 but it somehow still hurts my knees!). My favorite machine is the Precor Crossramp, which is like an elliptical and a stepper had a love child. You can crank up the incline super high and it really works your legs!
I am going to try to start adding more weights & strength machines into my routine. I don't really know what I'm doing with most of the machines at the gym, but I need to learn because I have NO motivation to workout if I am home. Right now I have very limited upper body strength, especially in my shoulders. I would like to work on that.

I bought the Julian Michaels 30 day shred. It has 3 20 minute workouts which increase in intensity. I am embarrassed to say, I cannot get through the entire 20 minutes of the lowest Level. I am not going to give up though, if I get a little further each day, I am going to consider that a success. I do take a 2 mile brisk walk 5 days a week.4

I just completed the Shred last month and I started off the same way. You WILL get stronger. Trust me. I enjoyed workout 2 more than 1 and then 3 more than 2. It just appeared things got better as time went on. Modify it. You can do it!1 -

I've done the Shred and I couldn't do the last session due to coordination issues. Lol. I'll admit the workout worked but I cursed her the entire time. It helped. Haha.0 -

OMG! I am laughing so hard at "3". I may try them this weekend with my jumprope just to see how "capable" I am. Jullian is nuts but effective.0
