    Most days I currently alternate between 40mins of exercycling and Jillian Michaels ripped in 30 or my c25k program of which I am on week 4 and ripped in 30. Once a week I do 30 day shred to change it up a little. Working so far as I have said bye bye to 10kgs :)

    Im just walking, making sure I do the routes with heaps of hills. If it's raining I jump on the treadmill and walk for the same length of time, though I do sweat more when I use the treadmill. I need to start doing Zumba again.
    Kahu I would be up for the challenge, Im on my feet all day working with children so I would be keep to see how many steps I do take in one day :)

    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 am dancing to (Just Dance 3) on PlayStation, it's really improved my fitness. I also have fitness coach (PS3 again) lol. Just got the 30 day shred and planning to do C25K with my husband. Me and my friend signed up for line dancing to have some dorky fun lol.

    I hopefully will also be joining a social netball team, if they don't have enough numbers. Season is basically beginning, so was a bit late for me to ask. But I would love to get back into netball again!

    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 try to get out walking with my kids at least 3 times a week for a good hour, i have a $20 Zumba DVD set from Offtheback.co.nz and i do at least 20mins of that most nights. Plus i recently got on the kids trampoline (was only on 20mins) my body was sooo sore the next few days, haha so ive been doing that for ten mins when i dont go walking or ive had a bad day, as it seems to realy work some good muscles

    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! :)

    I have been walking for an hour three times a week so far and doing a pilates DVD a couple of times a week as well. I am interested in progressing to running but worry am too big for that yet.

    You can get 3 of Jillian michaels exercise DVDs on groupon at the moment, it's awesome. I really like her yoga meltdown. Check it out on you tube first though to see if u would like it!

    Now I move boxes and move a lot when I work, I play percussion instruments in a band, I do Aqua Power at the pool, DanceFit at a local hall, a bit of yoga, drum practice, a bit of Zumba and a fair bit of walking with or without a canine (but I probably should do more walking).
