I walk or jog nearly every day plus I have a few workout DVDs (30-Day Shred, Burn Fat Boost Metabolism, Pure Burn Super Strength) and I also check out workouts on my cable providers free on-demand Exercise TV.

Sunday morning - stark naked, after I pee and before I eat anything.

I do the 30 Day Shred because its quick but it gets results if you really put effort in. A couple of times I have done Level 1 immediately followed by Level 2 or Level 2 followed by Level 3 and it kicks my butt! But I also burn a ton of calories! Have yet to try all three at once.

I liked Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred because 1. its a short workout - about 30 minutes by the time you warm up and cool down 2. Uncoordinated people like me can do it 3. If you really put effort into it then the calorie burn for that short time is great I'm now doing Banish Fat Boost Metabolism which is heaps longer but I…

I dont have a cheat day, but I do sometimes fit something into my day that I probably shouldnt eat as long as I can do it within my calories. There are some things I love that I just dont go near - I find that if I havent eaten something in a while I dont crave it but if I have a little bit of chocolate then next thing you…

This is rather mean but.......... I'm going to say it anyway. I look at people I went to school with on Facebook and a lot of them look awful (like they have let themselves go) - and I dont want to be like that! I was the nerdy kid in school who got picked on - its nice to be 40 y.o. and look younger and a lot fitter than…

I'm doing the 30 Day Shred (currently on level 3). I weigh 115lbs and burn about 140-180 calories in 20 minutes of the shred (depending on the level and the effort I put in). I have a Polar FT7 HRM that I use during the workout to get these figures. I log it on MFP as circuit training for 20 minutes and MFP is within 5-10…

I think this is typical of most people - the difference between what we THINK we are consuming vs what we are ACTUALLY consuming is huge. I think most of us (even if we are not trying to lose weight) should take a few days here and there to count calories and see what a typical day adds up to - I think a lot of people…

I'm 40 years old, 5'2" and had a starting weight of 130lbs. I started level 1 on October 25 with a waist of 29", hips 38", middle (at my belly button) 34" and thighs 22". Within a week I was seeing some results! I will add that I also have been watching calories (net = 1200 calories a day) and walking 2-3 miles most days.…

I just bought the Polar FT7 - and like others have said, you push a button to start and a button to stop (actually to push it twice at the start and twice at the end). While you are working out there are several options for what you can view during the workout - heart rate, training zone, time and calories burned. Dont…

Just my personal opinion - but I find it easier! There are some static lunge moves that are supposed to be harder but I find them easier!!!! Maybe I am doing them wrong....... The cardio kicks my butt but the stuff with weights I find easier. I started doing level 1 again after I moved to level 2 as my other half decided…

My experience has been the same. I find its much easier to stay committed to my daily calorie limits and exercise if I dont allow myself cheat days. Its so much harder for me to get back to my routine if I break it. That being said, I think there is some great advice here about just putting the last few days behind you and…

I log it as 20 minutes circuit training on MFP - just got a new Polar FT7 heart monitor and the results are very similar (HR monitor is slightly higher when adjusted for BMR calories).

I just saw this challenge! I started on October 25th so I am a little ahead of the game although I have missed two days since then. I'm walking 3 miles most days and doing Level 1 of the shred. I take a break from one or the other every few days because its kicking my butt! After day one and two I HURT! My glutes were on…
