I use Bow Flex SelectTech adjustable dumbbells, a bench & a floor mat. I also have what is called a Power Tower but if you can get what adini749 is showing in the picture that is better. A MFP friend and I put together some strength training workouts for home use, if you are interested. They are shared at www.jefit.com and…

Yes, motivating each other is the way to go. Pamela, good for you finding a way to do that exercise. I can't do that roll either. Today was Abs, Elliptical and Treadmill walking. Let's all push it to the end of the workout week.

Picked up my first weight in the 80s. When I have been consistent the results are great. I turned 60 yesterday & I feel great. I look forward to lifting. Having MFP pals who are interested helps. Yes, I include cardio so I work on heart health too, even though I dislike it. Having DVRed TV shows helps getting the cardio…

Maureen so glad you are finding workouts to do in the meantime and thinking positively. Pamela, I just looked at your logs at JeFit and you are doing really well. Today was Strength training followed by Treadmill walking. Have a great rest of the workout week.

Sherry, thank you for your kind words. That is exactly what I am hoping to do: inspire others. I'm glad to hear you will stay on track despite the obstacles you face. Stay TUFF! You will be glad you did.

Today is my birthday. I'm the big 60 and while one year of intense fitness ends another begins. Today was treadmill walking, then elliptical and finally crazy core from the Bow Flex App. I hope all my DWOPs are having a good workout week.

Good for you Pamela increasing the weights this morning. First TUFFer Phase 1 Strength, then rowing this morning. Have a great workout week.

Today is my rest day so I will be ready for Monday. I hope all DWOPs are getting in rest days too.

Today's saying is so true. It was Treadmill walking and elliptical today; finishing off the remaining time for this workout week in the lower 2 heart rate categories as per my Polar FT80 HRM Star built in trainer. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

Check out www.jefit.com. I'm there under the same username. They have animations that show the 'how to' of the exercises as well as routines for every level. It's free to get an account but you can look at the routines without having one. I work out at home too.

I love PB too. You can add me as I am on everyday. BTW, I like lifting.

Maria it never goes in a straight line. Enjoy cooking up a storm. Today, was as strength training then treadmill walking. Enjoy the weekend coming up.

I workout 6 days a week. It took me 8 months to be really happy with my progress, although by taking pictures/ measurements of myself every month I could see progress long before then. See my profile pictures. Progress takes time and does not go in a straight line. I was very frustrated at the beginning too but it is worth…

Sherry have a good day. Maureen consider stretching for those sore muscles. Today was Treadmill walking following by Abs & Elliptical. Let's finish this workout week well.

Look at www.JeFit.com. Click Routines at the top of the page and type bodyweight into the search engine. You will get a whole list. You can find me there under the same username if you are interested. I have always done all my fitness stuff at home.

Today was TUFFer Phase 1 and then Treadmill walking & the Foam Roller. Pamela, good for you getting in the Turkish Get-up and Windmill as part of TUFFer as per your logs at JeFit. Sherry part of being on MFP keeps one moving ahead in their fitness program. We all want to be able to post something each day. So there is the…

Sherry the saying is certainly true. Today was Treadmill walking followed by Abs & Elliptical in a workout called Get Rid of Muffin Top at the JeFit web site. I hope all my DWOPs are having a good workout week.

Today I did TUFFer Phase 1 Strength. It was start of week 3. Next it was Upright rowing alternating with lateral lunge. Things are looking up as my left arm is getting stronger & I earned the trophy from my Polar FT80 HRM Star built in trainer, for the third week in a row. Enjoy your workout week. It is one week & one day…

Sherry today's saying is very true & it applies to your cold too. Tomorrow can only be better. Today is a rest day for me & grocery shopping since DH had to work yesterday. I will be stalking up on cranberries while they are available. They freeze well & can be substituted for other fruit in recipes. BTW, 1 tsp (5 ml) of…

Sorry to hear you are sick Sherry. Hope you get well soon. Today I did Treadmill walking & then just 'Walk" to fill in the remaining time in the heart rate categories as per my Polar FT80 HRM Star program set to maximize fitness. I should get my 3rd trophy (symbol) in a row Monday from the program for reaching the targets…

Again, a great saying Sherry. Today was TUFFer Phase 1 strength, then treadmill walking. I looking forward to Thanksgiving long weekend with my DH here in Canada. I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Laura TUFF is all about strength training with heavy weights which gives great results.

Cassie you come to a great group and as Sherry says you can learn a lot from others. Welcome!

Sherry, today's saying is so true and that's what I like about strength training. Maureen enjoy the time with your son. Today I did Abs, Elliptical and Treadmill walking. Enjoy the rest of your workout week everyone!

Maureen that's great you finished the run. BTW, I use recorded TV shows with Treadmill so I am not bored. Today Agents of SHIELD. Also, that why I am usually alternating with another exercise because that when I am fast forwarding through the commercials. I also love grocery shopping. It is an outing with DH to find the…

Have a 12 oz glass or larger one handy. Drink 2 glasses as soon as you get up. During your workout have a large glass & drink during it. Between all your meals drink at least one large glass. In the evening drink another glass.

I have a Polar FT80 HRM which has a built in trainer. I have it set to maximize my fitness level. It tells me how many calories & how much time to spend in each heart rate category. It is up to me what exercises I choose to meet those goals. It is set with my stats & it adjusts to my improving fitness level. It also has a…

Yes, Maria in Canada it is Thanksgiving next weekend. I'm glad to hear your kitty got inside OK.

If you already have dumbbells you can use them to do kettle bell routines. Having said that a kettle bell is easier to hold to do the swings. Consider trying some kettle bells routines with your a dumbbell and see how it goes. There are routines online.

Maureen that sounds like a good combo: strength & running. Enjoy Thanksgiving with your son. I hope your cat is ok. I have 3 cats along with 2 dogs so I know it can be hard when they are not well. Today I did Ab exercises, then Les Mills Combat: Power Kata followed by Stretch. I'm glad I can turn on the subtitles on the…
