Beth - What yu need to do is cardio, rather it's at home on that clothes hanger treadmill or at the gym with a 'hot young trainer.' Only thing is you don't really need a trainer for cardio (unless you need the eye candy)

A habit takes 21 days to form, it could be free at home on the treadmill or at a gym where you pay and it could still be a treadmill If I were you I would set a time, like 6 a.m. get up put on your workout clothes and get on the beast.....try it for atleast afew weeks, start out with like 15 minutes, work your way up. If you hate it, then go and pay at a gym. How does that sound?

I know I dont need a trainer for that.. i need motivation I think kinda like a carrot on a stick... or should I say a pc of cheesecake.. anyway im gonna push myself just to do it.. maybe if it wasn't in the basement but up stairs so I can see outside.. hmmm... I just wasn't sure if I needed to workout more weights too thanks

[Star]

Beth - Do you have a tv in your basement? When I had my home gym, my stuff was in the basement too. The big screen tv really helped me do my time on the treadmill (beast)...lol Actually I had to turn the tv up real loud becuz my beast was loud. If someone would have broken in the house I would have never known.........

Oh almost forgot - Gym today - cardio day with abs...it was great! Also rode my bike about 20 miles at Saturday morning - I forgot how much I love to ride my bike - it was great!

Gym today - circuit training - great workout. Love the feeling of power and muscle. I can see my work paying off, the muscle is showing now. My arms are looking good. This gives me reason to keep doing everything I'm doing. (Plus I LOVE working out)

Hey Star-I'm still doing cardio like a mad person and trying to find the time/energy to get in some strength training. Keep posting about all the great benefits and hopefully that will get me motivated! We still have our gym membership until the end of the year and I think i just keep thinking the 'all or nothing' approach...I know I won't be able to make it 3 days a week with a day of rest in between, but I bet I can make it two days...something to think about.

Jen -- Two days a week would be great - matter of fact that's what I do now....
If you go - you will see results!!!!
So glad you are loving cardio. You know having the love for working out is a huge bonus! we are very lucky.....
Hugs.....

Oh-I don't know that I love it, but I do love to eat and I know if I don't work out I have far less leeway ;-) I can say it is a routine and a priority!!!!

[Star]

Well, sounds like you have it down to a science and you know what works for you. I don't have that much logic - that's why it's a blessing that I love to do it......lol

At the gym this a.m. ran into an old workout buddy, who works at the hospital with gastric bypass patients. Made me realize how lucky I am and made me push myself alittle harder on the treadmill (with a smile on my face). Did 3 Miles in 45 minutes.

[Star]

weights - 45min. see some improvement in thighs - must be the inner/outter thigh machine..

[auditgirl]

I walked 3.5 miles at the track, then went home and walked another 3 miles with DH. Tonight I plan 5 miles at the track and bowling night ;-)

[Star]

Jen - According to you walking schedule, I figure you should way about 150 right now.......and look at you - got DH out there too....WTG

[Star]

Friday - Went to gym - cardio day - get to look at magizine - cool!
3 miles - 45 minutes and abs ofcourse.
If this thread doesn't pick up by Monday, I will stop posting here.......
