Working Out

[Marilyn]

Do you workout? If so, how often, and what's your favorite workout? If not, why not?

I don't workout, but I REALLY REALLY want to get into a routine and shape up. I'm just having a really hard time finding the motivation. I am already petite, but I know I could have a smoking body if I put the effort into working out and eating right. But since I'm married and hubby thinks I'm beautiful the way I am, I am just not motivated. After I work 8 hours a day, I'm just too tired to even think about working out.

I REALLY have to start walking for half hour everyday, but i don't have any motivation at the moment But i know that i get tons of energy when i walk!!
I don't want to loose weight, just have to work on my condition!

I use to workout a lot a lot a lot!
then i got pregnant... but im getting back into yet now so yes i work out lol..

i use to think that as women we should be doing light weights at higher reps and doing cardio to get lean.. but this is WRONG!

right now im trying to get lean.. so im lifting heavier weights (not like 100 lbs or anything).. just heavy enough so that i struggle..

and i dont do cardio before lifting weights anymore.. because i found out that is also wrong.. only do cardio before lifting only to warm up (maybe 5 minutes max)..

mond, wed and fri i do arms, shoulders and back.. tues and thursday and sat i do legs.. everyday i do abs though..

ive got 40 lbs to lose... so this is going to be a bitof a journey

I don't work out...but I REALLY need to. With running kids everywhere and keeping up with a house, I've just gotten too lazy when it comes to things that I need to do for myself.

I use to walk 30 minutes everyday on my treadmill when I came home from the bus route. I'd walk watchng the last 30 minutes of Little House on the Prairie. But then the doggies came and well, I played with them instead of walking..time to get back on that thing cause I sure did feel better.

This sounds EXACTLY like me... I'm pretty thin as it is (or so everybody tells me) and I'm sure if I would get my butt off the couch after working all day I'm sure I'd have a "smoking body" too. I'll ask Alex (hubby) if I should work out and he always says no, I'm fine the way I am, but I just feel so blah.... I know exercizing would help get my energy up, but getting into a routine I like and can stick with is SO hard!

me and my mil joined the curves gym last year and i think i have gone maybe 10 times the whole year-and it not even two miles from my house!!! i am the biggest procrastinator. my hubby bitches about my fee 31.03 that comes out of our accont every month but i tell him to stick it cuz i know he spends more $$$ than that on dang cigarettes!!! i'm self-conscious and it freaks me out to be in a small room of sweating people....maybe i'm just throwed off who knows??? as soon as my car gets out of the shop i'm going back before my jigglies overtake me!!! i too have seen my ass in the mirror and hunny it ain't pretty!!! my hubby says there is nothing wrong with me but i think he is just trying to get my legs around my ears!!!

I use to go to Curves a couple of years ago. I loved it. Took off some inches, lost a few pounds, but I had to drive 10 miles everyday in the winter and I just quit going. I live in the country and here if there is snow, the winds just make the roads so bad. Plus I didn't like paying that much and then paying for gas. Hopefully after Thursday I'll get on a regular walking schedule and WW and do it right this time.

I am a Jazzercise instructor. It's really fun and a great workout. It's dance aerobics with choreographed routines to all different music. A regular class usually is 30-40 minutes of aerobics and the remainder is muscle work and stretching. Classes are usually 1 hour. You can try your first class for free. To find a class near you go to www.jazzercise.com and click on find a class.
