I found that for me, running + light weights is the only way for me to slim down and tone up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-workout-routine#post-247081 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 11:43:42 +0000 DillonLion 247081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like a few PP have said, weight loss is MAJORLY dictated by what you are eating (at least that's how it has been for me). I've always been a mega work-out person, but only when I'm being very specific about my eating do I see any results. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-workout-routine#post-247066 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 11:33:03 +0000 JoJoGirl 247066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You don't have to sacrifice it!! Every once in a while is okay, it's more if it's every day, etc. I was eating like a bagel for breakfast, a PB sandwich for lunch, and who knows what for dinner - all carbs and dairy with no protein or vegetables. I don't eat those grains much :) but i don't eat any bread really at all anymore. If you're *mostly* eating clean, don't worry about occasional treats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-workout-routine#post-247058 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 11:27:47 +0000 Meridian 247058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: @Minnie_Girl: ARGHH... I was hoping that by working out more and at least watching what I eat, I could avoid sacrificing the "good stuff". For me that's white rice and the occasional sweet... I'm not big on grains, and have never eaten quinoa, wheatberries, or bulgar in my life! hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-workout-routine#post-247039 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 11:19:17 +0000 Minnie_Girl 247039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keep eating clean and working hard for the next couple of months and you should see some awesome results! Have you tried bodyrock.tv? It's a free home workout website that, for many people, was the extra boost they needed to get lean: <a href="http://www.bodyrock.tv/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodyrock.tv/</a></p> <p>@mrs. bird: Haha! I can really relate to that lately... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-workout-routine#post-247034 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 11:17:06 +0000 JoJoGirl 247034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As Mrs. Bird, said, make sure you're eating the right 'kind' of calories, not just the right number.. protein, healthy fat, and healthy carbs (meaning fruits and vegetables, not necessarily grains..but if you eat grains, eat GRAINS and not 'whole grain bread' - quinoa, wheatberries, bulgar, etc). MFP should give you a macronutrient breakdown of your calories so you can make sure the proporitions are on track for fats/protein/carb breakdown! I was so shocked when I started looking at mine because my diet was like 80% carbs! </p> <p>But also, don't give up :) It can take time to start seeing a difference so just hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-workout-routine#post-247030 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 11:12:20 +0000 Running Elley 247030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: LOL that cracked me up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-workout-routine#post-247027 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 11:11:22 +0000 Meridian 247027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: Increase protein, got it, great tip!!</p> <p>@Running Elley: Now I will have to see when the next spin class is!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-workout-routine#post-247022 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 11:08:08 +0000 Running Elley 247022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: They are intense but that’s what I loved about them…they really forced me out of my comfort zone. And you can adjust it to where you’re at and then increase in intensity as you build up your endurance. I always came out of the classes completely sweat soaked and on the biggest workout high :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-workout-routine#post-247015 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 11:05:44 +0000 mrs. bird 247015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're doing great! Try not to expect much for the first 6-8 weeks. This is a big shock to your body &amp; it might fight to hold onto fat. make sure you are upping your protein intake to fuel your new muscle. </p> <p>Spoken like a lazy hypocrite :D DH was my personal trainer before we were together, so at one point, I did know what I'm talking about. </p> [attach=2301/12/m86sri.600x399.image.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-workout-routine#post-247011 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 11:03:29 +0000 Meridian 247011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: @Leialou: AGHHH... I've been avoiding the spin classes because I've heard they are so intense!! Maybe I will have to give them a try... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-workout-routine#post-247007 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 11:02:21 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 247007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love spinning as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-workout-routine#post-246992 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 10:50:03 +0000 Running Elley 246992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SPIN classes!!!! I was addicted before I got pregnant. They are absolutely amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-workout-routine#post-246987 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 10:46:31 +0000 Meridian 246987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I joined a gym exactly 2 weeks ago and have already gone 10 times! I'm on a total gym kick right now (let's see how long it lasts). I really want to lose 15 lbs, and I have been tracking what I eat via MyFitnessPal and staying within 1300 - 1400 calories. </p> <p>Unfortunately, NOTHING IS HAPPENING. I know I should be patient, maybe I'm building muscle and it weighs more than fat, I know I know... but it bums me out that I'm working my ass off and watching what I eat with NO results. Here is a sample of my workout schedule for this past week:</p> <p>Mon - 45 mins kickboxing (high intensity)<br /> Tues - 30 mins running/walking on treadmill + 15 mins weights<br /> Wed - 20 mins elliptical + 20 mins swimming<br /> Thurs - 30 mins running/walking on treadmill + 15 mins weights<br /> (I also like my gym's Sunday AM zumba class so I'll be hitting that up this weekend!)</p> <p>Do you guys have any foolproof workout routines that really work for you, and where you see visible results relatively quickly? </p>
