I need a good daily workout plan that I can stick too! Any ideas?

I am interested in this too!!!

What kind of workout or what are your goals? Cardio, endurance, muscle/strength, agility/athletic based?

Anything that will help burn fat and gain muscle

If you can believe it, walking is one of the best things to lose weight, and it's easy. I do a lot of walking. After speaking to my doctor, health nut wife, several friend, two seasoned personal trainer and researched it online, I learned that keeping your heart rate lower (versus running which is hard on your joints and back) is what burns the fat best. I also like walking in different neighborhoods. It's amazing what you see when you are strolling by versus driving. If you have trails in your area I would strongly recommend those. And please get good shoes, they make a big difference. I would recommend going to a local, small running shop where someone can watch you walk and take a good look at your foot to get a good fit (makes all the difference). Walking has brought me into hiking as I like nature. Winter might be a different story for you than me, I live in southern California, so weather is usually great. I also have a heart rate monitor to keep track on my progress, love it.

Thanks for the tips! I also walk alot! I'm getting a treadmill this weekend too, I live in Kentucky so our weather is bipolar lol

I hear ya on the weather. That's great. Walk to you can't walk anymore!!! ...not literally though. lol.

do some lunges. works on balance and strength and you can do them anywhere.

I use the Nike Training App. Free workouts, with videos and everything

I do zumba or some type of dance cardio two days a week, one day 60 minutes on the treadmill at fat burn setting and two days weight training - one is a class using light weights and one is machines. On the day I do machines I do the hour of treadmill as well.

So I basically do 4 days per week 1 hour - 2 cardio, 1 fat burn and 2 weight training.

Since the kids are out of school for summer and I don't want to pay $4 per hour per kid ($36 per day/4 times a week) in daycare, I've been using my home gym in my garage. I have a treadmill and weights. I like to keep my workout routine short and sweet. I run for 20 mins every morning, 7 days a week. Every other day I lift weights but it's not the super heavy weights. Lifting heavy seems to stall my weight loss and I figured once I get to goal I can worry about building muscle. My morning run has my heart rate up to 160 bpm. I mentally can't handle more than 20 mins on the treadmill because I become extremely bored and it feels like a chore. I do not plan to lengthen the time but I will eventually add on more speed to the 20 mins of cardio. Once the kids are back in school, I will start spin class again but gotta save money this summer.

I'm def not suggesting this as a fun exercise, but I will tell you...the 30 day squat challenge that I found on-line has really changed my life. Sounds silly, but seriously. Before surgery I would frown at lunges & squats & ALWAYS avoided them. Well, a friend of mine is a personal trainer & my legs are def a trouble spot for me. She suggested it & one day, I picked up the 10lb dumbells & just went for it. First day was 50. My legs have changed so much. They are much stronger & I'm starting to feel that they are sexy!

Anyway, on to the fun stuff...Zumba is awesome! Walking is one of the best exercises & not hard on your body. Water aerobics is awesome & very good on your joints. THen, dancing is a blast & you burn so many cals.

Some of the things that I have been doing while on vacation is the treadmill for thirty minutes a day in South Carolina while visiting my aunt. Now I am in Mississippi and I have been doing some workout videos (Jillian Michaels kickbox Fastfix workouts 1 and 3; Crunch dance workout videos). The latter has 4 workout cds covering different types of dance styles and another video called hip hop abs, I believe that is the name of it. In other words I am the type of person who gets bored very easily so I have to change up things a bit. Once I get back home, I will be going back to the gym doing strength training two days a week and cardio two days a week. I hope this helps!
