Default Need advice on my workouts.

Hi everyone! Well I have been looking for some advice on my workouts. At first I went way too far and complicated with my workouts. I tryed doing too many different things and got frustrated. So, I decided to start simple. I have a leslie sansone tape, and started doing the "Walk Strong" one day and the "2mile walk" the next day. With one day off, namely Saturday. The Walk Strong uses the 2 lb weights in intervals. Yesterday I thought I would kick it up a notch and used the 2 lb weights thru the entire 2 mile walk (in the video they use none at all). I have been thinking of incorporating some body weight exercises into my routine, since I cant afford a gym or to buy any heavier weights right now. The thing is, I am so sore today I wonder if I should do my video? Should I do Leslie 3x a week and the body weight exercises the other 3 days? What are your favorite body weight exercises (for beginners)? I Really want to build muscle as well as lose weight. Do you think Leslie is enough for now? I dont want to overtrain as I am soooo out of shape, but dont wanna be slacking either. I am willing to do whatever it takes. I do have bad knees so anything too high impact or with jumping would result in alot of pain for me.

Anyway, thanks in advance! Although I dont post alot I do read here every single day, and it has been sooooo helpful!

Jenny

I have the Walk Strong video with the stretchy band - I'm going to start it today . I used to work out and weight lift about a million years ago and there was always a rest day between working specific muscle groups. Upper body one day, lower body the next, with a bit of cardio 4 times a week thrown in. things may be different now - but pain usually means give it a bit of a rest ps- I really like your avatar picture
