@rmc9142: Will do. At present, I'm mostly doing it on the elliptical, as I'm not a big fan of running outside. I may also try to use the treadmills at the gym for it, if I can figure out the right setting to do that kind of interval work.
Alright, so I did 30DS with DS Thursday and been keeping up with the running but we're taking time off tomorrow for DS and I to recover from different health issues...me with a cold/sore throat, sinus problems...him with flu-like stuff. We're quite the pair right now.
Hope you and your son are feeling better soon Ms. Perception. It's always difficult to exercise when you're ill.
May goal: hit the gym 5x/wk
Week 1 = goal (5x)
Week 2 = goal (6x)

Today was a tough one. I was feeling pretty old and stiff before I even walked into the gym! I wound up doing my usual routine and even a little bit more. DD was with me for inspiration; otherwise, I wouldn't have lasted.
Monthly TOTALS 315mins Strength & 579mins Cardio & Dog walk 10x’s
Missed a few walks with the dogs due to weather but made up the time by having a few extra long ones through the week Back in a good routine I think it's now time to start tracking my food again I think I'm back to under eating
Fer - Booty Ballet is okay still have one more cardio dance dvd to try I think I'll like it, the other cardio dance was fantastic. I still burn more calories with biggest loser but it's more conditioning/strength where as booty ballet is pretty much cardio. It's not a bad addition though.
@carved: Do you find that you need a lot of space for the biggest loser dvds? I'm tempted to get something to supplement my balance ball dvd, but I've barely enough room to do that in my living room. I'll be moving this summer and can't guarantee that my new place will have more space for working out. I'd like to do more strength/core work at home, but worry about smacking into the coffee table or couch and thus not ever actually using the discs.
May 1st-7th
Worked out 5 out of 6 days (started a day late). I managed at least 60 minutes each day.

Today was a great workout. If I hadn't been on a time constraint I felt like I could have gone forever. I went at a higher intensity than I have before and burned over 750 calories in 65 minutes.

mmm not really I usually do it in our livingroom or my office I don't have that much space either. You basically need enough room to kick your leg out in front/back and sides. There isn't any floor routines in the one I have but there is balance/phyiso/stability ball in one that you need about the same space.

Wow! I am seriously impressed. I've been gradually working on upping my routine. I always do 30 mins cardio on the treadmill - started out walking sloooowly and have been amping it up a bit each day, even adding some running to the mix. I like the idea of C25K, but I have had issues with a foot injury in the past, so I'm a bit paranoid about pushing too far too fast. (The idea of a potential injury preventing me from working out is horrible - certainly a 180 degree change in my attitude about exercise! )
My gym is about 1.5 miles from my house, so whenever possible, I grab a ride there, workout, then walk home. (Heaven forbid I walk there too!) I think that as a mini-goal reward, I might buy myself a bike and ride there and back.
For this month I would like to get in five workouts each week. I usally workout for at least a hour but there are times when I dont. I do a variety of things from weights to classes at my gym. My other goal is to get a workout in on the weekend no matter what it is! I always slack on weekend
