I do bootcamp classes 5 times a week at my gym for about an hour (mixture of strength and cardio), and I walk a lot. I completed the JM30DS about a month ago, and although I didn't lose that much weight, I lost lots of centimetres all over my body. Its well worth it for a 20 minute workout everyday. I downlaoded it for free (woops!) and also managed to get some of her other workouts on there too. Score!!

I've just finished reading The New Rules of Lifting for Women, and really want to give that a good go come the New Year. My focus is not so much on losing weight anymore than it is to lose body fat. Oh and gaining a bit more muscle, even though I've already got good muscle mass (which is in hiding right now).

The thing I really miss from being back at home, is team sports!! I need to find some over here in Korea.

Had been training for the REAL womens duathlon, so had been running/biking x5/6 per week. now that has been completed starting on strength training that i will do at home x2 per week and will run x2/3 per week.

With 30DS, is this something that you would repeat over? Or do you only do for 30days and then redundant? everyone seems to rave about it

Anyone keen to try and achieve 10,000 steps per day in the month of April? If so I could start a group just for this challenge.

You can shred for free on Youtube, wouldn't recommend it long term i.e years, but is ideal short term i.e months, or an addition to other cardio

I am using ChaLEAN Extreme. It is a butt kicker.

Hi all ... I am doing Couch to 5k (aka C25k) which is great ... for anyone sitting on a couch and hasn't run before. Then by the end of 9 weeks you will be able to run for half hour or 5k non stop. I have a couple of fun runs coming up and wanna actually do well at them rather than just struggle through them. I have only just started but I am really enjoying it. It is free podcasts and the guy tells you when to run and when to walk and slowly builds you up to running 5k. If anyone wants to join me here is the link. (hope this works for you lol)

I'm training for a 10k run on June 3 so that means running 4 times a week. I also swim 1 - 2 times a week and do yoga occasionally.

I started out speed-walking 3 days a week back in January following an accident.
Since February I have been going to the gym doing a split routine Uppers/Lowers 4 times per week (2xUppers/2xLowers). On the other days I have been increasing my cardio, from speed-walking to running since April.
So in all I am exercising everyday and feeling so much better for it. The weight is dropping, I'm toning up, feeling great, and have that sense of finally being on the right track.
I will probably look to mix my routines up with some high intensity once I have a good base down, another couple of months. So far I am injury free, which hasn't been the case in my past when trying to restart an exercise regime (head said go, body said wo!)
I do think its important to do something everyday if possible, even if that's going for a 30-60min walk. Listen to your body wisely and if you feel like you need a recovery-day after a hard week or particularly gruelling day of exercise, then take it. you actually get better during that recovery-day!!!. Just don't abuse the recovery-day by taking a ton of them, remain focused on your goal, and why you are on MFP.

And above all have fun, and make friends here on MFP. There are a lot of very supportive and friendly people who can make a lot of difference to your achievements, and it will make you feel good being supportive of them too. My two cents worth...

I do about 30 minutes of jogging on the spot in the morning, some oblique twists, sit ups, push ups and I usually go for a 45 minute walk/run every day!
