None of these exercises require weights. They are body workouts only, so I'm just lifting my own weight.

I wouldn't say I'm trying to build that much muscle... maybe only in my ab areas. My legs don't need muscle :D I'm just trying to tone and get fit more... I thought maybe all this exercise would help with a faster weight loss since I haven't been doing very many strenuous activities other than running or walking.

Nice advice, everyone. I have been thinking, I'll take it slow in the beginning, and stretch everything that I possibly can. If I can't make it through the jumping jacks, that probably means I need to just take a break today. Other than that, I want to go ahead with the workout, but slowly. I have time... :)

Well the first day was ALL core and ab workout. You do the routine, take a rest for 90 sec, and then do it again, 90 sec, and then again. 3x's. Yesterday, however, it was a slight mix. There was some lower ab workout, but mostly it was leg and all over body. And it was also 3x's, but I could only get through 2 1/2. TODAY,…

Bump, I'd like to know, too. :)

What's a negative pull up?

What is the best way to build upper body strength so that you can do a pull up in the first place? I can't lift my body, it's still to heavy.

Guys who make fun of girls are jerks... but not all of them. (My boyfriend makes fun of me, but he's not a jerk). Anyway, it all started in grade school. I had a lot of people making fun of me back then, probably not just because of my weight, because I was a little odd anyway. :D My whole life is an embarrassing fat…

My abs hurt from yesterday's workout... I hope that is good! :)) And my shirt looks a little bigger, but that might be just because it's a large. :)))))

:blushing: Wish I could log s*x... xD anyway... how do I log ab workouts? It's a legitimate question, since I'm in a pickle here. I did: 25 crunches 25 reverse crunches 25 bicycle crunches 40 Russian twists 20 side crunches 30 sec. plank

You took the words right out of my mouth. I am always watching those girls... wishing it would happen. It hasn't happened yet... but I just hope that it will when the time is right. I have been doing this for 2 years... struggling on and off to change my ways. Inspiration and motivation is what is getting me through all of…

To me... it looks like a close up of a pizza slice folded in half... how big is this thing anyway? :))

1200 calories was never enough for me. I have been hoping that this raise in calorie intake will help out a little more... and sleep. It works wonders not only for your mind, but simply the better refreshed you are, the happier you will be throughout the day! :)

Your shirt is pink! :)

Love this one so much. ;D

"True commitment is serious and it is powerful. Commitment is not just saying you'll do it. Commitment is doing it. True Commitment is not conditional, for to be committed means to be absolutely committed. Commitment is more than doing just what is convenient or comfortable. Commitment is doing what is necessary.…

You need to talk outside of the [/ quote] part

I'm confused... you have a wife AND a girlfriend??? WTF??

That's neat, a Dali clock! I would get that... love Dali! :))))

Because you see you every day. You never notice the changes until your pants start fitting better :)) Trust me.

Awww you look fantastic! And I love that picture with the TARDIS! :))))

~Bump to activate thread again~

In what time does the Doctor appear? :)))

I always thought a gym workout was more effective than a home workout... you can keep track so closely with those machines! :)) And I feel more motivated to work out at a gym than do situps at home :)

I have some in there! You can see it in the door :D
