I'm curious what some of your fat burning activities are during the rainy days. I'm personally not quite ready for the gym world, as I am conditioning and learning my limits and this rain on the east coast has been cramping my style but I want to stay active. What are some things you guys like to do on rainy/bad weather days to get the sweat dripping? (I realize the obvious answer to this question will probably be straight from the gutter of everyone's mind lol but lets say other than that... )

When I started DDP Yoga, I hadn't either. I would say that this isn't traditional yoga, it really is more geared to upping your heart rate and helping with staying in a fat burning zone. The package I got was about 6 disc's and the very first one is an introduction to some common posing that will happen.

The next couple video's are where I spend most of my time, one is 20 minutes and the other I add to it (on occasion) is another 10 minutes.

To me, it seems like he's more there to explain how to make it work for you and not there to tell you how it has to be done. Which, after watching some other video's, was nice.

YouTube probably has some examples and the website is getting better and better. I haven't signed up for the subscription, but it's been lingering in the back of my mind for the recipes and additions workouts.

Pre-surgery, it helped me loose 30 pounds. But then Thanksgiving happened... and then Christmas... and then...

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thorough post. I really appreciate and take to heart your experience and advice!

I still think you should go roller skating.

Roller Skating is Great Exercise but as a former Owner of a Rink Please Please Please be the UnCool Kid and wear wrist guards. Adults don't fall as well as kids and their bones are usually more brittle. Wrist and teeth were always the most common injuries, usually at no fault to the Adult but trying to avoid a reckless little one.

I still think so too, the only thing is finding a local rink. I've been asking around and APPARENTLY no one knows of any. lol

Oh absolutely... lol I had a few gnarly falls when I was a kid, there's no way I would trust myself as I learned as an adult I'm accident prone. hahaha

I gotta say dude you look awesome. Keep up the good work.

In regards to blading, even when I was a normal weight and in my teens I was always very hard on my blades. I tore them up rather quickly, but I was the same way to every pair of shoes I owned. Work hard play hard.

Since I now live in a winter city, ice skating is something I can't avoid.

Is there a contra dancing group in your area? They usually welcome newcomers, you definitely do NOT need to bring a partner, and it's great indoor fun.

I put on a poncho & other foul weather gear and walk or bike in the rain.
