Just wanted to share, for anyone who doesn't think they have time to workout.. These are 30 mins workouts, 5-6 days a week.

Slow & Steady: Close to Goal Weight Friends?
I've realized that if I want to make getting to goal weight a life-time achievement, I need to make my changes that are part of my lifestyle and not a crash-course. As such, I've started exercising early in the morning (as its the only time I can consistently commit), using mostly 30-min strength and HIIT blend videos…

How long did your FitBit One last...
I'm looking to purchase a FitBit One and thought I would save some $$ and buy second-hand. I'm curious as to the approximate life-span of units out there in operation, as one advertisement is for a 2 year old unit... wouldn't want to buy it if its lucky to still even be working! Thanks!

Calorie Burn on Fitness Blender Workouts
These workouts always give a range... For example my 27 minute Kickboxing + HIIT video this morning was 200-375. My HRM put me at 353, which I know is too high (I'm a 5'4" female), although it was beeping away when I was doing those mountain climbers! I tend to just log the low range number to be on the safe side. Can…

What foods do you prep in bulk for the week ahead?
It's Sunday, which means I'm prepping lunch and snack foods for the week ahead. I find it's less expensive and easier to control the ingredients (fat, sodium). I currently have 8 skinless chicken drumsticks in the crockpot for shredded chicken on my salads. It will make 8 servings at 24g protein and 114 calories each...…

Pretend you have 40 mins, 3x per week... What would you do?
Looking for advise... I've been doing 20mins elliptical + 10-15 mins total body strength Fitness Blender circuits + 5 mins stretching routines OR 10 mins elliptical + 25+ mins total body strength routines + 5 mins stretch. But is this the most efficient use of my time? My goal is to lose 16 more lbs (GW 140). Would I be…

Finally doing this!
SL5x5 has been on my mind since I first read about it while lurking on this forum forever ago. It sounds like my exact cup of tea. I recently re-committed to exercising regularly, as well as monitoring my diet. After a few weeks of doing total-body strength routines from Fitness Blender (and loving them) I decided I am…

Women --- do you lift at home?
I am so very intrigued by "heavy lifting". I really enjoy strength training, and not so much cardio. I work out at home. For equipment I have: A simple bench with leg extension/curl and barbell rack, weights, a barbell, dumbells, curl bar, physio ball, floor mat, elliptical. Is it reasonable to lift "heavy" at home, alone?…

I've met my goal of doing 3 strength workouts this week (Fitness Blender total body workouts, using my elliptical to warm up and one of their 5 min cool-down stretch routines).…

Help with workout schedule - just starting out
Hello all - first post! I have been using MFP to track my diet for some time (although just recently back at it after a very long hiatus). These past 3 weeks have been successful for me with an 8 lbs loss, using what I would consider a very healthy diet (loads of veggies and protein, no added sugar or refined carbs, under…
