Have you tried Kettlebell training? I've used JM's Kettlebell DVD and loved it. I've had great success with all of her DVD's. There are times that I don't feel like doing them but the results are really motivating if you stick with it. Don't give yourself the option to quit; bored or not. If you want results, you can't…

Great story. You look great. I love the shoes. I might have to try some.

I'm 5'5".

Great story. You look great. My favourite part of your story: "This journey was more mental, than physical. Don't make excuses people. This is totally do-able. Everyone has time. Don't give me that bull****, I don't have time excuse. Make time.. It's your life. We've become too lazy and make too many excuses.. Your body…

You look great.

Great results. It looks like you've lost more than 5 pounds. Well done. I love her workouts.

You look great.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this.

Words to live by. Thanks for sharing.

You look amazing and I loved reading your story. The sampling of things that you can now do was awesome. I love #2.

Yoga mat and hand weights. I use 5 pound and 10 pound weights for some of the big muscle groups. You may want a set of 2 or 3 pound weights depending on your fitness level. Jillian doesn't give you water breaks. If I need a water break or a quick recovery, I pause the DVD and take it. This won't improve your endurance as…

I used to suffer from shin splints and I've had knee issues. The knee problem was actually caused by a hamstring injury. My chiro fixed it for me and suggested that I stretch my hamstrings and inner thighs before the run (after a short warm-up). I also bought Mizuno running shoes and I don't think I would ever use another…

You look great. What type of workouts have you been doing?

Make sure to increase your calories every 3rd day. Example: Day 1 1300 cal, Day 2 1200 cal, Day 3 1800 cal, and repeat. Be sure to add some resistance training as well.

Buy the Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, some hand weights and a mat. That's all you need to get started and you will be amazed with the results.

Thanks for the great advice. I really like #3.

Great post. Thanks.:love:

Week 2 of MFP and loving it. I am going to stick with it. I need to lose as much weight as I can before the 15km trail ride on June 9th; I don't want to break my horse's back! I am hoping that each of the 4 horses will be worked 3 times this week-with some time in the ring as well as on the trail. I am going to force…

I just finished my 5th ride of the week. Looking forward to next week's challenge.
