Neither is better than the other. The two should actually be combined to make your workout/exercise complete. You should strength train on some days and cardio on the others.

I have lost 10 dozen eggs, hoping to lose 10 dozen more.

Items on my list this year: Some weights (dumbbells to be exact) weighing: 8lbs, 10 lbs, and 15lbs. Heart Rate Monitor Aside from those two things I really don't want anything. Eventually I'd like to add New Wardrobe to a list of items I want/need, but I have about 10-15 lbs before that can occur.

Yoga X is generally completed on Wednesday for me, but unfortunately I was not able to get around to completing it....so I did it last night instead. Since Saturdays are generally my rest days I figured I would just push the workouts back a day to make up for it. Last night's yoga session was much needed though. Work has…

My posts are always after the fact because due to work being insanely busy, my workouts are now completed in the evenings and majority of the time, once I'm home, I am not on the computer. Last night's workout: Shoulders and Arms, ARX While I was able to stay more focused during the workout, it still doesn't interest me. I…

I did some Plyo last night and believe it or not, I love this video. It totally kicked my butt, but I was loving every second of if! It was definitely a struggle to get through the whole video even while doing the moves for half the time. Some moves I was able to push myself through the whole 30 seconds, others, my legs…

Thanks. I will give it a shot next time around. I just get bored with the video. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I am stationary (aside from the arms of course) for the most part. It's a mental thing that I will have to overcome.

I completed the Shoulders and Arms video last night. Due to earlier than normal work schedules my morning workouts have turned to evening workouts. I struggle with the shoulder and arms video though. Not because I cannot complete the moves, but because I find myself losing interest in the video. Any suggestions? I am…

Bump.

Just started P90X Classic today and the videos kicked my butt. My upper body strength is lacking. I am looking forward to seeing myself progress over the next 90 days!

Thanks, everyone! These are all wonderful tips. I do get up and walk around often, but our office is in a ranch style so no steps. :frown: I am sure once I start working out in the morning I will feel much better, but its nice to hear all of the wonderful suggestions. :happy:

That is awesome! I am getting ready to start P90X! I'm excited to begin. I might even start tonight rather than tomorrow morning. :-)

Thanks. I am getting ready to start a workout program in the morning. My plan was to start this past weekend, but I ended up getting sick so I am waiting until I'm feeling better before starting. I just don't want to workout in the morning and then feel like I'm doing nothing to accompany that workout throughout the day.

As soon as I get over this cold, I will be joining in. I cannot wait to get started!

So who won?

I am actually getting ready to give this a try. A co-worker of mine recommended it when I told him I wanted to start working out again. I'm excited to see how it does.

I would love to be a part of it. I will be starting my routine this Saturday (the 19th) so essentially I might be a week ahead of everyone else, but am still willing to participate. Is it okay to add you as a friend?

Wow! Thanks so much! I will def have to rethink my choice of Lean. I think you guys have convinced me to switch to the Classic Routine. I'm so excited to get started! :happy:

Thanks so much! I just sent him a message.

I chose Lean because after reading through all of the material that was sent with the DVD's it seemed to be the one that fitted my goals most. Plus, I'm a huge fan of the Core Synergistics video. I've done the Plyo video a few times and I struggle with it big time. I was thinking I would start with the Lean Routine and…

From a personal stand point, if you are happy with yourself at 230, then you are happy and I do not see any reason why not to maintain. From a health stand point, I don't believe its worth all of the potential risks associated with having a bmi that high. Though you might not have any health issues now, maintaining that…

I love my butt and my legs... every last part of them. I am super proud of my lower half. My leg muscles are pretty defined as they are, but are getting more definition weekly. I also like how firm my butt is becoming....but to be fair, I have always appreciated my backside. :wink:

That's awesome!! Keep up the good work! It's so exciting to see and feel yourself get stronger as time progresses. :happy:

I have a few progress pictures that I can post later. I'm at work right now and the pics are on my home computer. I will post some tonight...I am not at my goal weight just yet...but I can def see a difference in the pics so far.

My SO and I met in high school. He was two years younger than I-therefore two grades behind. We had one class together my senior year. We talked here and there in class, but never really connected. I had no idea he had a crush on me at the time. 5 years later, he added me as a friend on facebook. We started talking, the…

Have you recalculated your caloric intake value to match your current weight or are you still going off what was based for your weight when you first started?

You and I are just about right on! I am 5'0 and want to be between 110 and 115 when I'm done losing. I'm currently 128 wearing a size 5/6 depending on style and cut. A year ago I was a size 9. I lost about 25 pounds on my own so far, but am thrilled to have found this site to help with the last bit.

Welcome! I just joined recently. Anyone one here is free to add me as a friend as well. I am more than willing to support/motivate.
