Starting Out/Starting Over: Consistency or Variety?
I am committing to a healthy lifestyle, slowly but surely. Looking to gain some fitness insight as an obese "beginner". I'm 5'2, 230 lbs and apple shaped. In the past, I was able to lose some weight with a gym routine (alternating cardio and weight machines) but soon lost interest and found the couch, snacks, and netflix.…

Yoga at LA Fitness or similar
Has anyone taken a yoga class at LA Fitness (I'm in the midwest, but anywhere is fine)? Just trying to get an idea of the level/style they teach.

Should I attempt a Zumba class?
The gym I go to is [finally] offering Zumba in their class line-up. I'm veeerrry shy and easily embarrassed when it comes to things like this, which is why as much as I wanted to try zumba I just kept putting it off. If I do go, does anyone have advice for a newbie? :blushing: I think I'm just very self-conscious about…

Starting Fresh
Hello all. I was a member but deleted my old profile after being inactive for a few weeks, so I could start over fresh. I'm 27/F and around 230 lbs (weighing in officially tomorrow morning) looking to get down to about 160.
