Hi MFP'ers. I joined in 2009 and went through a phase of weight loss then injury (knee) then lately illness. I am trying to get back on the straight and narrow and the exercise seems to help me feel better. Endorphins and all that. I really would like some motivation from my pals right now and would love to get back in contact.
I started exercising again 2wks ago and was doing Hip Hop Abs. I realise that this time round I was using up less energy than I'd like to and thus the calorie burn is lower. I have an FT4 Polar HRM and I believe it is pretty accurate. Yesterday I started doing C25K and I've done 2days in a row. I am in my fat burn zone for 20mins out of the 30 which is a lot better for me. My body aches a little but I must press on. I feel the knee injury still when I run. Has anyone any suggestions on how to strengthen my joints especially the injured knee? Just downloaded One Fifty Dips as my triceps are horrendous at the moment.
Are there any other workouts that you guys know that expels a lot of energy? I have Insanity but will get back to that when I am at my utmost best health-wise. I am doing well on the food front. It has always been a lot simpler to manage than the workouts.
Anyway, just reaching out and reintroducing myself. Speak to you guys soon.

I love anything from jillian Michaels. Try the 30 day shred to start. Tough enough, but you should be able to modify for injuries.0

Hey Girl! I've also heard Jillian Michaels is great. I had a baby just over a year ago, then trained for a 1/2 marathon. Still didnt' lose the weight. What worked for me was talking to my Beachbody coach. I ordered the Insanity program through her, coupled with their health shake: Shakeology. I lost 30#'s! I'm HOOKED on the stuff now, and LOVE to tell my friends about it because of what it did for me! I'll be sending you a friend request. That's awesome that you're doing C25k. Are you planning to run a 5k also?0
