I'm curious as to everyone's favorite videos, workout routines, exercise plans. I'm not in good enough shape yet to run... but I'm at the place where I need to start moving..
I think just getting started walking is key. I lost all my weight by starting out walking and eventually getting to the point where I motivated myself to run a bit. Now, when it's gorgeous outside, I find myself running up to six miles. I just don't have the same drive in this nasty weather, so I just make sure I walk 45 min to an hour five days a week and light weight lifting.
I do lots of different things but one video I keep doing over and over is "Body Pump" created by Dr. Jackie Mills, I have a tape of a tape and I use it all the time, it's pretty old, and pretty well-used and I haven't found anything like it. It's a quick and challenging work-out, but you need weights to do it.
I started with walking too...moved it to the treadmill (afraid of bees) and slowly increased the height. Now, I'm really into weight lifting! Actually, I was talking to one of the trainers today about when I first started working out and found my first muscle! It was hilarious and I'm notorious for making an *** outta myself in the gym with new found things. Today was I have this line on my tummy from my sternum to my belly button. I had no clue what it was and almost went to the dr. I asked the trainer about it and it turns out its my abs! Hahaha...I'm used to cushon there...not abs! Made them laugh!
I love my treadmill! I first started walking and after a few weeks I started incorporating short runs, til I worked up to being able run for 3 miles. I also use a lot of dvds. I have a series of pilates dvds which are about 20-30 minutes long that I can't live without. Another favorite is BL Power Sculpt.
I love walking/running outside. I started just walking and after 3 weeks started the C25k program. I have tweeked it a bit and I use mapmyrun.com to keep track of which area I like to walk best.
My 2nd fav is the kettlebell, it mixes cardio with weights so I really get a good workout.
I love to try new things so I have one day for that.
