I am doing this at home...well, I guess I should say will be doing this at home. I'm starting tonight. I have a bench w/bar, weights, weider workout machine so will be able to do seated rows and lat pull downs, Swiss ball, and some lighter barbells (3-10lb) and 1 barbell I can change the plates on. I think I have…

I log it as circuit training as well.

:smile: Yup, lightbulb moment...got it now, thanks! :smile: looking forward to lifting weights!

Ok, got an answer in the other post I made on the group that explains it all much better.

AAHHHHHHH...lightbulb moment! Thank you so much. That makes much more sense! Got it! Workout 1,2 = first and second time you do the "A" work out and so on and so on...Thanks again!

Ok, I'll check out the link... So when it says workout 1,2 ....2 sets....15reps....it is meaning that workout 1,2 is 1 workout and NOT 2 therefore I only do 2 sets of 15 reps NOT 4 sets of 15 reps?

So workout 1,2 ( workout 3,4, workout 5,6, and workout 7,8) is counting as 1 exercise not 2 therefore I only do 2 sets and not 4? That is where I'm getting screwed up. I just want to get this straight before I start it tomorrow.

I do this on my treadmill getting my heart rate up to about 170-180. I do about 50 seconds and then 1 min rest or a fast paced walk (because I like to keep moving) and I do it for about 20 - 30 min max. It's hard but I like it much better than just straight running.

I use a HRM.

Bumping this to save for later...

Lol...that made me laugh. Guess I would qualify then, lol. I am cougar status...a married cougar but a cougar all the same since my husband is younger than me. Younger men are great...they're easier to train, lol.

I won't be giving up my creamer either...nope...not this girl. I only have about 2 cups...maybe 3 some days and that's it. Couldn't imagine my coffee without the creamer...ick.

900 calories? I'd seriously be starving on that! Don't be scared to eat foods that have more than 100 calories in them. Eat foods high in proteins with some good fats and carbs. Cheese is a good snack and over 100 calories/serving...sane with a serving of almonds. It's really not that hard to hit a 1300 calorie goal.

I posted mine in another comparison thread already but I'll post it again here because I really can't believe the difference myself. :smile:

bumping this in case anyone else has some routines they'd like to suggest...

Thank you! Yes, I know all about reps and sets and love circuit style workouts. I also love core workouts...planks especially. For the core work, are you meaning to do all exercises you listed in 1 set circuit and then move on the the weight circuits? My plan is to still do my JM (right now doing RI30 and Shred w/weights…

*sigh*...no takers huh...all right, guess I'll figure it out on my own :frown:

I didn't need to lose 100's of lb but I needed to lose close to 60. I think if it's something you want bad enough, you will stick to it to accomplish your goal. It's just like smoking...if you want to quit bad enough, you will do it. I can say that because I have done it. It's all about your wants and what you're willing…

Coming up on a year on MFP. Always welcome new friends...feel free to add me. :flowerforyou:

Anyone? I know it's old and probably crappy equipment but it's the best we can do right now in terms of weight equipment...lol

Feel free to add me, I always welcome new friends and support :)

I chose moderate because I workout a minimum of 3 days a week for 1 hour. My cardio days are usually only 30 minutes or so and I try for once or twice week for a total of 4-5 days/week of total exercise. My job is lightly active...I'm on my feet a lot so between my job and my exercise I think that puts me at moderately…

I used 3 & 5lb weights for the shred depending on the exercise. Now I'm doing her ripped in 30 and shred with weights together for a 60 minutes workout using 5 & 10lb weights.

Here are a few of mine...I have a couple more that I don't have photos of. I wish I would of had cleaned the one on my foot up before I took the pic but all well. I had the frog done about 5 years ago and then and then had the anklet w/dragonfly added about 1.5 years ago.

I've been using JM videos and the Nike training app (more so the JM lately). We'll be setting up our home gym of free weights and machines this weekend though, can't wait!

age, height - 40yrs old, 5' 2.9" tall weight, goal weight - 144.4lbs ...GW - 135lbs...will reassess once I get there calorie intake - between 1600 - 1750 depending on my activity for the day exercise minutes/ type - 3 X/week 60 minutes (circuit strength training), 2 X/week cardio for 25-30 minutes do you eat back exercise…

5' 2.9" tall Thigh - 22" Calf - 13.5" I weigh 144lbs...my bf% says 29% but not sure if that's right or not.

I eat Greek yogurt with Kashi cereal in it.

Mmmmm...cheesecake...I might have to look for that next time I go shopping.
