Fitness Program Recommendations?

[BandedBrunette481 310]

Hello all!

I'm at that point in my weight loss now where I really need some guidance with my fitness routine. I'm getting bored with my self-made workout routines and I'm not savvy enough to come up with the right plan to make sure I'm exercising the right muscles and doing the right amount of cardio so I was thinking of purchasing one of those fitness programs that come on DVD like Shaun T's T25. I've heard good things about it so far. It's 25 minutes a day 5 days a week, 50 minutes on Fridays, and weekends to rest. There is also a modifier on screen who does modified workouts for when you need something easier.

Has anyone used this program with success? Or can you tell me what program has worked for you?

I'd love some input from my fellow bandsters!

Thanks

I'm finding that out of all of it I've tried, I really enjoy cycling. I've always hated the shape of my calves, thighs and butt, but I gotta say they are perking up.

My sister has done insanity and T25, she likes it, esp for a quick workout. You can also go to bodybuilding.com and find workout plans that are built for woman and you can pick them based on you goals (gaining muscle, toning, etc). They usually give you a 4-12 week workout plan and some of them come with meal plans, like Jamie Eason's LiveFit Trainer, which i've done before in the past.

Thanks for the tip!! That's what I really need, is just some guidance on the right workout routine. I suppose a personal trainer wouldn't be out of the question either, but I think I'll start with the good old trusty internet haha
