YAY - I complete my goal of working out at least 5X a week for this month

Remember that physical activity is definitely helpful for us depressive types!! and we can cheer each other on by seeing what's we're all doing for working out

I really dig this thread and it sounds like everyone is doing wonderful so far, how inspiring!

Yesterday,
I went for a walk for about a half hour +, maybe closer to 45 mins, for the first time in awhile and it felt great!!!

Together we will defeat the depressive feelings

A question:

What videos/DVDS have you found to be helpful in losing weight yet gentle, not one that would easily strain a body part? I have joint issues and FMS so I have to be careful. Thus far I have tried one of Richard Simmons' videos and a Leslie Sansone Video. Thank you!

Take care

Thanks for joining us! We're glad to have you here!

I've heard Walk Away the Pounds is a good one. I see you're doing some of Leslie's videos - is this the one you're doing?

I usually do Jillian's 30 day shred...but it's a little brutal.

Also, have you tried yoga? I have a Yoga For Beginners DVD which is pretty decent: http://www.amazon.com/Yoga-Zone-Intr...ords=yoga+zone
