Search the internet for whatever type of exercise you prefer. There are all types of free videos you can watch. Always, make sure you change up your exercise (not do the same thing all the time), as your body will become used to one thing and it will no longer be a challenge.
I started in Sept this year, went from 205lbs to 190lbs. Its tough i will say that. The eating part isnt an issue. But the exerces are starting to be boring, trying to find others and its tough. i work hard and my weight hasnt changed much since
No, Jillian is not on the dvd, that I saw.
Does this DVD have Jillian? Will wait if it does. Would like to try it
"Biggest Loser Yoga for Weight Loss" --- what a work out.........I finished it a short time ago and I'm going to go soak in a hot tub because my muscles are on fire.........I just know I'm going to be ever so sore tomorrow................but it's a great dvd.......I'm so happy I've been doing yoga and the Wii Fit, or I'm never have been able to keep up......
I got that dvd today - Biggest Loser - Yoga for Weight Loss..........I watched it on the computer just to see what it's like. Tomorrow, I will actually do a work out. A lot of the poses are also on the Wii Fit, so I'm familiar with them. The difference is that Wii Fit stops after each pose and takes quite a while, where this dvd goes right on through, from one pose to another............I'm going to like it, I think. I may try to alternate Wii Fit with the dvd -- and I have some others as well........
Well, I did good tonight ----- pretty proud of myself.........I got hubby to walk the dogs and I went to work on my Wii Fit...... I did 20 minutes of yoga and about 12 minutes of step aerobics, for a total of 32 minutes -- THEN I did 5 reps of each of 3 stretching exercises that my doctor gave me for my back!! It's not a lot, but it's 37 minutes more than I've been able to accomplish recently...........
I'm going to try to find that dvd this weekend. In the meantime, I'll go with the Wii Fit and must do the stretching exercises or the doc will be unhappy with me.........lol
I didn't do anything on the health rider today, but I think I've done enough as it is -- I know I'm going to feel it in the morning......................lol
Oh -- and I discovered that Wii Fit says I weigh 2.6 pounds LESS than my bathroom scale says --- of course, I'm going to go by Wii Fit -- after all, I can use all the help I can get ---- but I guess it doesn't matter that much since they both say I'm over weight!! Bathroom scale says 145.8 and Wii Fit says 143.2 so I think I'll adjust my weight tracker to the Wii Fit --- I'm only 5' tall.......
Yeah the DVD can be bought at stores...i got mine from Best Buy for $12...I think it's cheaper at Amazon.com....
Man...seeing ur schedule...i can understand how hard it must be to fit in working out....
Good Luck and I'm sure u'll find a way....
I have to get up at 3:30 in order to get showered, dry my hair and ready for work, take care of the dogs, clean up their dishes, etc, which all takes me about an hour, then my commute is anywhere from 30 -50 minutes, depending on how I hit the traffic lights -- traffic is minimal at that time, but seems like some days I get caught by every single light there is - and there's about 20 of them along my route.............lol In addition, I've never been one to walk into work at the last possible minute and have to jump right into it, so I like to get there a few minutes early so I can have coffee, check e-mail, sometimes log onto medhelp, etc before i have to get moving for the day because once I get started I rarely have a chance to stop.
I generally fix whatever I'm going to take with me for food, the night before and I keep a bowl of boiled eggs in the fridge and fruit on the counter, so I can just grab one for breakfast before I leave the house. I've tried showering and washing my hair the night before also, but I have night sweats so badly that I have to do it in the morning anyway. I have to wear a uniform so there's never a question of what I will wear on any given day. The only thing I have a choice in, is what shoes I'm wearing, so that's not much to worry about.
The first thing I do when I get home is take the dogs for their walk --- and by the time I get done with that, I'm ready to crash. I know you are right -- I used to do the same thing you do when I got home - exercise, then crashed, letting hubby walk the dogs, but he's not willing to take on that task most days now. And then there's still all the things that have to be done to keep the household going - laundry, cleaning, cooking; and I even get behind on those things. I'm usually in bed no later than 7:30, so not long after I hit "post comment" here, I'll be off...........
I'm not trying to make excuses for not exercising -- I actually enjoy it when I can do it when I'm not exhausted and without having to let other things go. I keep telling myself that 30 minutes is no big deal and I'm currently on a "campaign" to get back into a daily routine. I'm starting at 20 min/day and planning to add 5 min/day each week. Does that make sense?? I'm doing 20 min/day this week, next week, I will up it to 25 min/day -- and keep doing that until I can get back an hour of time......wish me luck............
Oh, I want to look into that dvd you mentioned - is that available in stores or does it have to be ordered?
Hey!
That's crazy how you wake up at 3:30am when you have work at 6am----why?
i kno how life can get in the way of taking time out for yourself...
as soon as i come home from work..i jus take off my work clothes and go straight into my yoga clothes(which are already layin on my bed when i get home) and JUST DO IT!!...before i even look at my mail...before i go into the kitchen...anything...as soon as you see "triggers"--like food or the computer or tv--it'll keep u from doin it...i come home from work mentally exhausted some days...and the yoga is like the "me time" to calm my mind that i really need (like i said--only 30 minutes)...yeah ur body is fighting to hold poses..but ur mind is being cleansed...
also...do u wake up at 3:30am to prepare meals or set up things for your day ahead?...try doin a few of those things the night before..sometimes..u take extra long time for preparation in the morning due to grogginess and sleepiness when it takes shorter time the night before...
i'm a HUGE fan of sleep...so that's why the 3:30am shocks me...i HAVE to have my sleep haha....and sleep is JUST as important for weight loss as ur diet and exercise...it gives muscles time to restore/build/rest..etc...it keeps ur mind more alert throughout the day...and probably would help that "exhausted feeling" u get after work go away...
It sounds like you've hit on a pretty good plan there -- slow and steady is the best way to do it, so you can make the changes last.
I'm not familiar with the "Biggest Loser Yoga for Weight Loss" DVD, but I love yoga. Yoga stretches your muscles and strengthens your core muscles. I am not normally one for slow boring things either, but the movements in yoga are so deliberate it takes a lot of concentration to get the poses right. It's also very low impact. And best of all, is that you only need to stretch or do as much as you are able to do.
When I got my first yoga dvd, I watched a few minutes of it and said to myself "yeah, right -- like I'm gonna be able to stretch like THAT ---- EVER".........well, I almost didn't even try it, but fortunately I figured I best get some use out of the dvd since I'd spent the $ on it........am I ever glad I did.........I still can't stretch and move like the "trainer" can, but I'm a lot better than I was when I started out.
Unfortunately, I have really slacked off on ALL of my exercise and am trying to come up with a way that I can fit in time for it when I actually have ENERGY to do it - I get up at 3:30 am; work from 6:00 am-2:30 pm and by the time I get home, all I want to do is crash---------
I know I'll be able to come up with some sort of plan though - I just have to keep working on it.
