I usually run and lift weights when my kids go to bed on my nights off work...I'm getting a little bored and it seems like it doesn't burn a lot of calories...Any ideas about how to get a good burn??

    Kettlebells always do the trick for me. ;-)

    Turbo Jam or Turbo Fire. Fun and a great calorie burner!

    Do you have an idevice? if so look at the Nike Training App.. it runs a circuit using your house and it is BRILLIANT and (at least last time I looked) it's free! It is really really well done.

    Insanity or P90x or kettlebells like someone else suggested

    kickboxing, shadowboxing, burpees, jumprope, body weight circuits. All of these are definately not boring and will kick your heart rate into high gear!!!! Using a heart rate monitor I figured that I can burn on average 500 calories per half hour of kickboxing or burpees or a compination of both. Good Times!!!!

    I never knew what a burpee was until I took this kickboxing class this last spring...I was in so much pain the next day..hahaha!

    Thanks for all the suggestions :) I'm really considering P90X..My neighbors said I can have the dvds and manuals for free

    P90X is AwEsOmE!!!!!! I did the lean version for 6 weeks until I broke my foot, I seen more toning than weight loss, but I hasn't incorporated the nutrition plan into it yet either! Good Luck!!!

    i have the barry's bootcamp fat blaster workouts..i LOVE them. 30 min with stretching and exercise and for my weight it burns like 437 for those 30 min. its only 1 min per workout but all back to back with 30 second rest periods..its great. i sweat sooo much within just a short amount of time.
