I just started strength training yesterday for the first time in my life. I’m committed to 3 exercises for 15 minutes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Since the modified plank exercise was very difficult for me to do on the first day, I practiced it again today (Tuesday). That was my extra little challenge to myself today to “strengthen my body in one new way.”

I walk everyday with my neighbor for one hour. I just completed a 5k race this past Saturday and I’m doing another one this Saturday and this Monday. I find that I will challenge myself if I’m walking in a 5k race and it’s always for a good cause!

I have started walking at the mall during the colder weather but now that it is getting nicer out I am walking the park. I am also doing sit ups. I have a goal of 20 pounds to lose by my 51 birthday in July. I can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!

I attend a body pump class at my local gym, which consists of free weight training and cardio.

I have been working out with a trainer for 6 months and I wanted to lose 10lbs. Well I only lost about 4 lbs, but what I did lose was inches… about 5 in my waist and almost 2 in my thighs. The muscle tone has vastly improved my body. Now I focus on cardio to drop the rest of the weight.

I’ve been running 5 days a week for about an hour a day and getting in some miles on the bike whenever the weather is nice enough:) Swimming is tough outside in Wisconsin…but triathlons are the new thing regardless! 18 months, down 40 pounds and feeling great.

I started lifting weights in December, for definition, and am in week two of strength training. So far so good. I like the obvious changes in my body. Upper body strength training and cardio are working for me so far. Whoo hoo!!

Started the biggest loser work out tapes and been consistently doing them for a month now. I can notice a big difference in muscle gain and feel less hungry during the day. Incorporated more fiber into diet as well.

With school & work I don’t have much time but with knowing how important being healthy & eating healthy is, i’ve learned to make time. I dance for my school 5 days a week, I have made a dance workout that I do atleast 3 times a week at home, everyday I try to eat some fruit with atleast 2 of my meals. I’ve been trying to get healthier food in my house for my family, so far… well lets just I need to keep up with pushing them to get better foods.

i lift weights 4 times a week. i also walk 2 miles a day.

I just started doing a half hour of walking every day 2 weeks ago this Sunday. I’ve done 2 big walks (3 miles or so). My son has these “perfect” push up things a trainer gave him and I starting with 8 push-ups a few nights ago. I’m going to try to work my way up but my arms are sore! I’ve got about 30 lbs to lose and I’ve been using the Kashi entrees to help me keep my calories under control. I’ve already lost 7 lbs!

I do 2 workouts (monday & wednesday) at lunch time at the gym and 1 night I am doing hoola hooping(really makes you sweat). Can really feel a differnce if I miss the classes. Just need to eat better at night stop the snacking!!

I walk two miles 5-6 mornings a week. I have just started weight training and have to find good exercises to use.

I have been walking everymorning with a friend for a half hour. I have also added 20 mins. on ball every night, after just 2 weeks I see a diffence! ust shows you a little at a time does work!

I take Sets and Reps and Crunch classes at the Y each week. Weight resistance not only pumps up my metabolism, but also my energy level and strength. I’ve found that it takes both weight training and cardio to reap a toned and a swimsuit-ready body!
