Best Workout

Good for you, dorannmwin! These days I am so too busy to fit in a real exercise routine, so my goal is to at least get a good stretching work out in. My muscles are real tight - just from holding the baby, taking the stroller in and out of the car, hunching over from nursing, etc etc . . . so I truly need to loosen up. Last week, I really took the time to stretch at night for about a half hour while everyone was sleeping . . . oh, I slept much better and felt better overall the next day. So I'm making it a point to get that stretch session in. Also, we as a family, are trying to take more walks - like before dinner. We can't wait til we can all go bike riding as a family . . . that'll be neat!

wow, i really appreciate you target maam dorannwin,.. luckily, i dont have to attend to the gym involve myself in a serious diet because i have that very thin body... well, not that thin really just skinny.. Good luck and i hope next month, you will post another picture of yours. something that i could recognize you anymore because of the weight loss. God bless you.

what worked well for me too many years ago was spending a good chunk of time on an elyptical (sp?) machine. Too bad they don't have child care nor can I afford it.

Good for you! You sound like you have a great workout plan. I would love to join a gym but we never have enough money for something like that. I think that is really the best workout since there is so much variety at a gym.

i think there is only a good way of workout and that is jogging. it takes its time to result, but results are assured and lasting. i have done many kind of exercises but i feel that only jogging gives me a better result every time , so i am simply suggesting you.

I don't have that much time to go to the gym, or have some workout, what I do is I really drink a lot of water and fiber-rich foods to clean my digestive track. But the result for me is good, I don't know if its my metabolism or what, but I hope this could be an additional help to meet your goals.

hi dorannmwin oh how I wish I could work out somehow. My left leg with its brace is the problem as its hard for me to walk very far and walking used to be the way I could lose weight. If we had a swimming pool here at Gold Crest I sure would to that. I have not been exercising as I am trying to find something I could do where I am at right now, I have been cutting back on carbs . Now I wish Ihad not let my son toss out the old exerciser bike that I had,it was still functioning but he said oh I will get you a new one. I am now wondering it there was some way I could get another one cheap and use it in my room. Maybe craigslist might have something. thats a good idea that just popped into my head. wow.

I prefer things that are higher impact. I want to do work outs that are going to make me sweat before I'm done. I also try to build muscle. So I'll take a few group cycling classes each week, some cardio classes, some pilates classes. On days I don't have classes I'll usually run on the treadmill for an hour and do some weight lifting. Yesterday I tried a new class, called Willpower and Grace, they have a website, it's a world wide craze. Boy is it hard, I'm so sore today. I thought I was capable of doing squats all day.. that class proved me wrong!! It's great though. Am I close to my goals? Well my goals change daily. I really don't know how thin I want to be. Some days I think I'm close enough, other days I want to go another 20 lbs. It's really hard to tell with all this extra skin. I guess I will just get to a point where I'm no longer capable of dropping pounds no matter what I do.

The best I've found for fat burning is step or Tae bo. I also like Ashtanga yoga for working up a sweat and Pilates if you want really toned abs.

Well, I have a set weight loss goal, I have not checked on it in a while though. The best work out I have ever had was a 1 hour Ninjuitsu class. It was intense. Aside from that I semi regularly attend Aikido(if I lived somewhere this was offered, it would be regular), I also try to walk to and from work each day, that a good 30-50 minutes, twice a day. With Appreciation.

Hi Doran, Now it's your turn...be determined and you will reach your goal. i did! you need to also watch your diet friend. goodluck and i am happy to hear that you are practicing healthy lifestyle now!

Hello dorannmwin, I seldom have a heavy workout I"m just actually maintaining my weight and for me I do cardio for 25-45 minutes 3times a week,I less my intake of carb and lastly for a flat belly ever, my holla hoop that would be 35 minutes after arising and 20 minutes before bedtime. My aerobics class doesn't works well with me because I find ending up like starving myself so I quit and only my dancing lesson gets me better. Happy myLotting!

hell0 doran! I think that the best work-out depends on that what are you actually want to achieve, because some people work for better legs, some other for better arms, others for tight tummy- and if you want to lose weight as whole, then i guess that you should combine all these exercises- for legs, arms, tummy and also back together and try to do them every day, at least twice- in the morning and in the evening and I guess that after 2-3 months you will see a big change with your body and hope that you will be satisfied

The best workout for me is skipping (jumping rope). I can do it for between 20 and 45 minutes now and it is great for building your stamina and improving your lung strength. At the moment I have a cold and haven't been out to run in 3 weeks but I can still skip as it is a shorter amount of time and I can do it indoors. I put some double unders in my skipping routine as they really get you gasping for breath.
