I'm doing HipHop Abs from time to time, but right now, I'm doing the
Ultimate Fitness Plan from Women Health
http://www.womenshealthmag.com/extras/app/index.php?pages/ufp
I had to adapt some of the exercices, since I don't have steps nor stability balls, but they are quite challenging !
I also played hockey cosom this week, since the team needed a girl. Was fun (and hard on cardio) but also almost strange, since it was my first time since high school (and I never even really played back then!)
I have a lot of ideas, but I need to be more disciplined |

Fluidity (strengthening and stretching program) on Monday
my own brand of aerobics, Pilates, and stretching on Tuesday during Biggest Loser
nothing Wednesday
salsa dancing etc. with the BF on Thursday - always a good, fun workout
nothing Friday
Fluidity, then martial arts class, plus usually salsa etc. on Saturday
nothing Sunday
I swap weight training for the Fluidity every 6-8 weeks.
My weight was up a little bit before the holidays, but then I started the salsa dancing and stuff, and I've steadily averaged a pound per week weight loss since around mid-November! |

Hi there!
Sounds like you and I are in the same boat. I was at 208 also. Anyhow, I finally broke down and went to a personal trainer 4 weeks ago. It was an eye opener.
He told me that if we look at our weight loss success like a pie chart, 50% of our success depends on resistance training (weights, etc.), 40% on our diet, and 10% on cardio. That was really surprising to me since ladies are usually so drawn to the cardio exercises.
With every pound of muscle you gain, you burn 50 extra calories a day - without doing ANYTHING. Gain 10 lbs of muscle, and burn 500 extra calories a day! WOW!
So, he showed me a TON of resistance exercises, lots of core strenghening - many of which are done with one of those exercise balls and a couple of 5 or 8 lb. weights. I wrote ALL of the exercises down. Many can be done from home.
So, basically 3 times a week 30 minutes of resistance training (each day usually focusing on a different group of muscles) followed by 20-30 minutes of cardio has been my basic routine.
I would recommend investing in a few sessions with a personal trainer to learn some new stuff. It has really paid off for me and really, it was very hard for me to finally break down and do it. However, I am glad I did.
Good luck! |
