i dont remember who mentioned this, but using book tapes while you run is like the BEST idea ever! im going to stack up on them so i can use them while on the treadmill. thankyou so much for the idea! its seriously awesome!

Hey guys! yay i'm happy. It's raining here and so I couldn't go running, and my dad wouldn't take me to the gym, so I just decided I wasn't gonna get exercise today. But then I just went and played Dance Dance Revolution (my brother has it) and I did the workout mode and I burned 400 calories!!! And it was actually fun, unlike running on the elliptical. for all of you out there who love to dance, I TOTALLY recommend DDR!! You can dance to your heart's content and burn major calories if you do the normal level (not the beginners or workout level)

hey everyone. my mom bought richard simmons rockin to the oldies 3 lol but i put it on and its really fun and it is a real workout. i waited until my parents and sister were out of the house...then i popped the dvd in...and i just danced and danced and i could not stop laughing at myself. it was really fun and its good exercise. my friend wants to do it with me so that should be really fun. plus on the dvd there is a section thats success stories...and its so inspirational! theres a 12 year old that lost 30 pounds, and a 27 year old who lost 180 pounds! all from adding that extra exercise in their day. anyways...my point is...find an exercise that you like and thats fun! i am excited to dance again today lol! but for some reason i dont like doing it with my mom or dad in the house. theyd probably think im crazy cause i can't stop laughing while i'm doing it. and after you do it....you...

Hey Everybody.
This morning I did my advance Tae-Bo tape it was awesome. You really feel good after you do it. It is an hour of intense cardio, that is awesome. I recommend it to anyone who likes doing cardio. School starts next Monday for me so I am working really hard. Good Luck to everyone. If you are going to do Tae-bo start off with the easier tapes at first, don't go to advance right away because it kicks your ass. Good Luck :)

Hey guys its me and im really excited because today i finally figured out a way to exercise at my work. Usually i just sit at my desk all day while my co worker takes breaks and stuff but today i got a brillant idea. See the stairs that lead into the lobby of our floor are great for going down but u cant go back up cause it locks you out. So today i went down the stairs to the lobby which is about 50 steps..then i waited in the lobby still bouncing or stepping side to side for an elevator to take me back up to the 3rd floor. Once the door was shut (if i was alone which was most of the times i went up) i do leg lifts or step side to side or a move that i learned while dancing in the musical which swings your legs out to your side. Then i professionally walk across the lobby and go down the stairs again! I did this about i dont 10 times from 10:40 to the top of the hour. Sometimes i even...

Sometimes i even went all the way down the stairs to the parking garage which is 70 stairs then walked a lap around the parking garage. WOOHOO! Im going to do this twice a day once at 11:40 and once at 2:40. tomorrow im going to actually count how many stairs i manage to go down and get an accurate number. Isnt that a good idea??? so yah..im excited now i'll shush up lol good luck to all -mandi- (view less)

Hey you know cheerleading isn't everything for one thing and for a second thing i mean sure you may want to lose weight but first think am i dedicated and do i want this a lot. If you do then just start by walking everyday i mean honestly my neighboor lost over 20 pounds in a couple months just by walking 45 minuets every day! It can be fun if you do it with a friend, mom, dad, brother, sister, boyfriend, or anyone!Love ya good luck,

HEY YOU GUYS! A good thing to do is jumproping. I'm 148 pounds, and i do 1000 jumps (which takes me 15 minutes) and i burn aprox. 169 calories. The 1000 jumps aren't as hard as they seem. So eventually, I'm going to work up to 2000 jumps. I listen to music while i jump. And if you do this, make sure you're outside and have lotls of space (maybe at 6:00 in the morning on your front sidewalk/proch.) It makes it hard when you have a ceiling above you. it makes you think you're going to hit something. Now i'm only 148, and i know a lot of you are over that. For 175 lbs in 15 mins. you burn aprox. 200 cals. For 200 lbs in 15 mins. you burn aprox. 228 cals. not that's just 15 minutes! Try it and post on the board if you did.
