This past month I have been doing spinning classes at a local gym and some basic weight lifting, toning exercises that I found in the Oxygen magazine (I am sure they are in many other places including the net for free). At any rate, I started out at 3 spin classes a week and last week I did 4 spin classes (each class is 45 minutes and I get my heart rate up to 85% -I check on my heart rate monitor.) The other days I have been doing the elliptical, and other aerobic movement machines they have at the gym-one being a machine that simulates roller blading(that I could never attempt in the street as I would fall and kill myself). I also have gotten videos for home that I will start using soon, and since there is a big snowstorm tomorrow, that will be a good opportunity.I have been going the gym 5 to 6 times a week.
My stats are :61 years old, 5'2" (on my good days), started at 156 pounds and down to 151 in one month.Goal would be 139.
Eating plan is one I developed myself-cut out sweets totally, limited carbs and eating alot of veggies and protein, and H2O.
Hope this helps someone out there who is struggling to get motivated. I know that all the posts helped me immensely.
