  • Ballet Beautiful kicks butt...literally! I bought the bundle DVD pack a few weeks ago and really like them. The two Butt Blast Series are killer..and I can't make it through the whole way without serious modifications and additional rests. I have no idea how she does it...I was in serious pain by the end! :-) I'm working…
    in Ballet workouts, anyone? Comment by eskimite July 2012
  • I own it, used it a few times after I got it and found it challenging. But, I never really looked forward to doing the workout in the same way I do with Jackie Warner's videos or other similar workouts. I think I have gone from loving Jillian Michaels and her workouts, to almost not being able to stand her. I find her…
    in Jillian michaells ripped in 30 Comment by eskimite July 2012
  • I workout at home. Monday to Friday, I try to do between 30-50 minutes, usually a video that is more like high-intensity interval training (e.g. Jillian Michaels or Jackie Warner) or a ballet/pilates video. Saturday and Sunday I try to do 60-75 minutes, usually something more aerobic like kickboxing or using my stepper for…
    in How long are your average workouts? Comment by eskimite July 2012
  • Well done! Keep it up! It's really a long haul losing weight...I'm surprised at how long it's taking me to lose about five more pounds, as the first 10 seemed to fly off, followed by a slower pace with the next chunk of five pounds, now these next five seem intent on sticking around!

  • Here's to those of us who are not letting chronic back pain get in the way of working out and being fit! Great advice from others! For me, what has always been important is to make sure I watch my form, focus on core-building, and listen to my body (especially the day after a new type of workout). I try to do a mix of…

    in Why are the closest ones to you are not very supportive? Comment by eskimite February 2012
  • Trust me, we've all been there. It's so hard to push through and keep doing the things that are healthy and necessary to lose/maintain weight loss. Maybe think about it as less you're on a "special" diet or workout program and rather you are living your life in a healthy way, in moderation. Would it work to treat yourself…

    in Where are you from? Comment by eskimite January 2012
  • I'd recommend you not worry about what you can't do in terms of going outside and think about the vast number of exercises you can do just from home! I really LOVE working out indoors. Honestly, I enjoyed working out in the gym and I also enjoyed the years when I was an avid runner and out there nearly each and every day.…

  • Thanks for the input. I will give it a second thought and perhaps go on Amazon.com to order one!
    in Should I buy a scale? Comment by eskimite January 2012
  • As others have said, I too always think in my head "wow, you go girl/boy!!" when I see folks with lots of weight to lose at the gym or working out outside. It is so much harder, for reason you raise!!, to get up the motivation to do something that makes you completely vulnerable to others' opinions and judgments. Yeah,…

  • I just discovered Moms Into Fitness workouts and, thus far, really like them. I was very much into Jillian Michaels before, and some more workout-y yoga/pilates videos. however, I have chronic back pain and was attracted to MIF's focus on building a strong core. I have Boot Camp 2, Core Firing Sequence, Core Fitness, and…

  • I'd love to have all of you as friends! I just joined MFP and am still feeling my way around. Can't wait to be part of this supportive and encouraging community (especially when it's late at night and all I want to do is make a decaf coffee and eat a bunch of cookies...)

    in Hello Every, New and looking for friend to keep me motivated Comment by eskimite January 2012
  • I'm new to MFP and to doing weight loss as part of a community! I just joined a few minutes ago and am not exactly sure how the whole site works, but I'm going to send a friend request so I can start introducing myself to the community!
    in Starting Over Again! Comment by eskimite January 2012
  • I love Jillian Michaels, but was looking to change up the routine. Plus, after having my son almost three years ago, I still felt like my core was weak and needed more specific attention. So, i found a series of DVDs by Lindsay Brin called Moms Into Fitness. I actually downloaded the videos to my computer and my iPad, as I…
