You said it's effective.  Why change it?

I go to a gym and use a little bit of everything.  They say to shake up your routine about every 6 weeks or so for maximum results.  I think any machine can help you, but you have to use it consistently and it's probably better to use more than one gadget.  A lot of gyms have summer specials/reduced rates for students.

I know exactly what you mean.  I am an exercise hater!  Walking up the stairs to my classroom every morning is a trip.  Why? Because I am lazy.  My bones are stiff and I just can't work up the energy to get going.  I know I should, but I just don't.  But you know what - I thank you for the wake up call.  In less than a month, I will be 54 and I know I need to get this body worked out. I have no excuse. I am steps away from a full, complete up-to-date exercise and weight room, sauna and steam room with indoor and outdoor pools.  Shame on me.

Try Jazzercise. They'll tell you and usually there are a lot of different locations and time schedules. And it's fun workout.\n\nCurves costs a lot and not a lot of locations and times.\n\nPS. Go here before you even think about the Hoodia mentioned above:\n\nwww.newstarget.com/006016.html\nand\naltmedicine.about.com/od/hoodia/Hoodia.htm

Don't over do it to much i think you are doing enough, if you want better results the best thing you can do is join a GYM where they have professionals that can teach you the right exercises for the right areas you want to improve and the good thing is it really works no made up miracles!

I'm a fitness buff myself who found myself in a similar situation a while back. I came to realize i was sitting on the best piece of equipment available my own body. You will see twice the result lifting your own body wieght from different variations on pushups and other excersise lifting your own body wieght in different more natural positions will double your strenght and boost mind and body awareness this is recommended before hitting the gym any how. But I guarauntee after doing it this way you'll never stop if not just to hit the gym to show off your results to the gym elite

The best thing is always to work out with a partner. Knowing that s/he will be at the gym waiting for you is perhaps the single most effective type of motivation. Also, like you said, once you get there, you start to have a lot of fun -- and you'll see that, once you really "get into it," you'll never want to NOT go to the gym.\n\nAs for staying strong throughout the workout, I found that this will also improve over time -- you'll start to feel more energetic overall as your body adjusts to a more fit lifestyle. \n\nSo, good luck, and stick with it! It'll be one of the best things you'll have ever done for yourself.

time to up the weight level!!! seriously, try curls using heavier weights. try 25 lb weights at first and when that becomes no problem keep increasing the amount of weight you lift. 30 lbs, 35... etc (GRADUALLY THOUGH!!) Be careful not to lift too much that you can't take the load after the last few lifts. Oh and as you increase your weight that you lift, you shouldn't have to do as many lifts to get the "burn" (a guy benching 1000lbs does it only once and not 25 times, for example)It is a good idea to work your underarm muscles too if you arent doing that already. hope this helps.

i find cardio abit boring sometimes. I mainly love weight training, ur bench press, squating etc. Try moving about on different machines with ur cardio, so one day u do bike, another running, anther day rowing machines etc etc, therefore u will keep at ur training alot more :D\n\nMichael

after a while you body gets used to the same exercise... simply increase the pace or adjust in to make i harder to wwalk or if it has an incline feature... uo prolly have reached a plateau in your workout.

If you always do the same workout, your body adapts.  Try mixing it up a bit.  Try adding intervals into your workout on the elliptical.  Crank up the resistance or the speed for 5 minutes, then recover for 5 minutes, and repeat.  Or try different equipment for variety.  Try the treamill, bike or stair climber some days.  Mix up your resistance workout, too.  Try pushups and tricep dips for variety.  Do hammer curls instead of normal bicep curls.  Try some new ab exercises, too.\n\nAlso mix up your diet, too.  Eat a variety of fruits and veggies.  You can also vary calories from day to day:  1800 one day, 1500 the next, to keep your body guessing.

Start with easier workouts and slowly build up the amount of work that you do.  This will build up your stamina slowly and before you know it you will be doing more than you use to do.  Keep track of what you do for your workouts.  Never increase your workouts too much from day to day.  Slowly ramp up the amount that you do.  To boost your energy, about one hour before you workout have an energy drink consisting of several kinds of fruit, some 100% fruit juices and some milk.  The milk will cause your body to burn up the carbs slower.  And within 30 to 45 minutes after your workout have another smaller energy drink to replenish the glycogen in your muscles that you have burned up by exercising.

if you are already exercising - chnge up your routine and intensify your workouts. Try a stricter diet.

chill out dude I know what ya meant.  :D\n\nstart by just walking and doing some stretching exercises, then start the limbering up stuff.  do a little more every day and don't overexert yourself especially if its hot.  Don't start lifting until you have your body in better shape.

When you exercise, it seems like it's coming off slow, then suddenly, really fast. Keep doing that, and don't take diet pills. You'll feel better about it in the long run. You will look better, too, if you are toned. There are flabby thin people.
