Who works out?

[Yorkie_GirL]

Use to work out Religiously... until i started working full-time..

I want to get back into it.. but i'm having a hard time finding some motivation lol.. i usually would do cardio 5 times a week.. with added weight training.. it was awesome.. when i started i think i was 140 pounds.. and then in a few months went down to 115.. but i have some extra tub around the belly LOL.. so im wanting to just get toned..

i wish i could have that jessica alba body ..

My youngest is soon to be 21 & I have worked out on a regular basis since she was born. I run 3 miles, 6 days a week & do my "Jane Fonda" video (by memory) for 45 mintues while I watch the "Today" show each morning - I think it is the best ab workout I have ever found. We also walk our dogs every evening for 45-60 min. I give myself NO excuses to miss - I just do it because I feel better. I have noticed the last few years that my body is a little more tired, but I keep on - I will be 50 next year - I just figure if I don't stop, I'll never have to worry about getting started again! Consistency has worked for me!

ahahahhhahahahahha I just about died of laughter when I read your post/ saw your comment I'm the same way now. The only exercise I get is when I lug three loads of laundry twice a week. There's only 2 humans in the house, mind you. But my husband seem to skin like a snake. Clothes everywhere the closet and bedroom. I use to do Yoga religiously but like any other exercise I've done, I get bored with it after a few months.

I'm running a race this weekend- 9.3 miles! I've been training for it since April. It's a HUGE deal in the area. Actually it's the largest 15K race in the country- it's called the Boilermaker Road Race. I think there are around 10,700 people running this year's race. The entire course is lined with thousands and thousands of spectators. They also have a competition between the sections of the city (North, South, East, and West) to see who has the best block party (cheering section) throughout the race. I'm so psyched to run it!! After that, I'm going to begin training for a half-marathon. Hey, it's only 4 more miles, right?! I've been slacking with my running since I got Olivia a month ago, but I'm going to step it up a bit after the race. My sister is determined that we're going to do the marathon in Disney World in 2006. (Since it's in like January, I think, I highly doubt it, though!)

Yeah the Carmen Electra video is the one that I am talking about. When you watch it you just have to get past her ditsy ways and it is a good work out.


Good luck with the Boilermaker. I have heard about it before. I have been thinking about doing the marathon at Disney also but not sure because of all the traveling that that requires and I am not too sure that I could be at top performance with not being able to sleep in my own bed and all that. But I am willing to give it a shot.

i've heard so much about the Carmen Electra Striptease workout.. that i have just Ordered it lol

[ReconsMomma]

Another workout tape that I have heard is really good but I haven't tried is is some belly dancing one. A friend of mine has it and I am trying to find it. I guess it teaches you how to belly dance and gives you a really great workout.

Im all for anything that helps me to keep my belly flat. And I am always looking for new videos so that I dont get bored with the ones that I have.

Carmen is very ditsy in the video so beware. The first few times you watch it she might annoy the crap outta you. I know she did me. But just do that workout and ignore her stupidness and you should be good. Now that I have learned to ignore her, I love the workout.

has anyone thought about doing hula? i dance hula for guam in las vegas guam liberation and let me tell you girls it works! it is hard at first until your muscles get usto it but it is really fun i attatched some pics for you guys when my group performed last year...i'm the short one with the bob hair cut

[Ilovebaby]

I have a friend who goes to CUrves and she likes it, but really hasn't lost any weight. I went with her once and didn't even break a sweat. So I think it is Great for some people and not so good for others. Also, congrats to those of you who have lost weight by working out, man I wish I had that much willpower!

You are my hero! Last summer when I started to workout full time, I made a commitment to myself to not workout to lose weight, but to workout to have a healthy life. And to continue to workout throughout my life. Thanks for sharing.

Its interesting to hear that you are a swim instructor. I am finding more and more that you and I have in common. Because I too am a swim instructor. I teach the girls high school swim team here in the fall. I used to be on the high school team and in college i was on the team too.

I also swam in high school and then on to college on a scholarship, but after 8 years I was burned out and quit...now a year later I miss it so much!!! I teach Swim Lessons to kids over the summer, it is such a rewarding experience, I love doing it.....
