How to work out at least 3 times a week by UrsaMajorUrsaMinor

"it's about time."

How I did it: I finally decided I would lose weight this year. It was too difficult last year, being my freshman year, so I finally decided that I was ready. So far, my goals are working out extraordinarily well; I'm taking a kickboxing class twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays and going to the gym on Saturday with my friends.

Lessons & tips: Make sure you know what your habits and schedule are, and that you can commit to it. Talk to your friends/family about it, because it will hold you more accountable for your promise.

Resources: Weight Watchers! I'm doing the online thing-ma-jig. It helps since I literally don't stop moving all day, but always have my computer on me.

How I did it: I used to go to the gym at my university, but I don't really like going alone nor do I like being gawked on while I'm doing the weights (which are all on the first floor where the men dominate). I decided I would work out at home with my exercise bike, weights, and some work-out DVDs. Then I stumbled upon exercisetv.tv, which offers tons of work-outs, from 5mins to 20mins or more, with so many of them for free. I soon found my favourite t… Read how I did it…

    violentwife is going to be alright.

    This goal ties into 3 other goals. 3 weeks ago

    So if I can will myself to do this It will help me lose wieght, get a flat stomach and feel beautiful! That pretty much means that I have to do this one. But I have a plan.

    Monday- Tae Bo Cardio
    Wednesday- Wii Fit yoga/ strength training
    Friday- My neighborhood gym.

    I need the variety or i will not do it. Maybe Ill add more things to the mix for the sake of changing things up. If I have my iPod then it should hardly feel like work!

    I need to take care of myself. 7 months ago

    Nobody else is going to take of me but me. I know this. I have gotten lazy since I graduated high school. I used to work out all of the time in high school, that was one of my goals, to be in shape. I have always had a gut, but when I went to college I got lazy, and it got worse. I have been lazy ever since. My diet is terrible and not getting any better as I get older. I feel like my weight and body fat have affected my confidence all my life. I have to work out more, or just work out period.

    Go for a walk with my boys! 11 months ago

    I need to work out, but with my lifestyle, I think I need to start out with something that I would enjoy doing. Then after I lose some weight maybe I can start adding some weight training to my crazy hectic schedule!

    grokent is getting down to business

    Day 1 11 months ago

    Hit the gym, did mostly upper body. 4 sets of 12 each bench, curls, butterflies, and pull downs. 2 Sets of 12 leg press, 1 set of extensions. Still recovering from a knee injury so I’m taking it easy on the knees. It’s hell being old and fat with bad knees.

    Lazy, lazier, laziest 16 months ago

    This week I’ve worked out 3 times.. But I already feel the laziness creeping to my bones.

    It’s funny how, after you’ve worked out, you feel so great and are so pleased with yourself, but then when i should work out again, I really don’t want to…

    Totally blew it last week. 16 months ago

    But last night I was back in the gym. I have to admit it – I feel less stressed today than I did yesterday or all last week. Maybe there’s something to this “working out” thing…
