ok, other than telling you your fat, which de-moivates you, great answers from all others, ... try to put a great cd in that you like to listen to and put the dvd in and play them together. just work out to the beat! I got a cardio workout dvd, and planning on doing that . \n\nps, by the way, i am fat so don't worry, keep working on toning up! i hope to be no where near fat sometime!

Whats working for me is since I am very lazy when it comes to excercise I  lay on my bed and with almost half of my body hanging off the side I  then try to sit up then go back down also as you are slightly hanging off the side raise your legs up off the bed about 6 inches and hold them there for a count of 25 then raise them up then back down slowly and hold again repeat as many times as you can just dont lay them down on the bed until you are finished I am also hoping that since gravity pulls everything downward with the years that hanging upside down enough will help keep everything in place alittle longer(wishful thinking). another good easy one that really works for the mid section and the back of your thighs is lay in front of the sofa but with your back up against the front of the sofa so you are resting on your shoulders  then try to touch the floor with your toes then bring your legs  up do a few sets like that and then keeping your legs straight up open them to form a wide v and bring them back together slowly this is great for the inner thigh. for the buns sit on the ground with your legs straight out in front of you then try to walk forward and backward by rolling your butt from side to side. Another good one is while watching tv stand up and pick out two places on either side of you eye level and without moving your lower body turn from side to side tring to pretend punch the target on either side this is great for the middle and arms and back. If you ever download things from the internet instead of waiting there doing nothing if your chair is like an office chair and bends back what I do is put my arms on my chest and lean back as far as it is safe without falling over and then do like sit ups it beats just sitting there doing nothing while you wait. since my chair also swivels I have got in the habit of turning from side to side while I am at the computer. In two months I have lost 6 inches off my midsection and 1 1/2" off my thighs   doing these lazy excercises. I try and do them at least once a day for about 30 minutes altogether. swiveling in the chair i do all the time when at the computer.

Working out does stink and takes determination.  But, the reality is if you are truly unhappy enough you will do it regardless. Once you make the decision to do it, you will feel so much better.  Its a very tood feeling once you've accomplished a goal.  Just remember with weight training that muscle weighs more than fat, so you may look better and weight a little more.  Measure inches, not pounds and incorporate cardio.  Good luck

Any floor excercises?!

That is hard to say. Maybe change your workout program, add something else to it.  You also have to watch what you eat or at least cut back on somethings. Good luck. Now I have to push myself to get started. Maybe this is just what I needed to push myself. Thanks.

I will give you a good motivation cyber tablet for nothing forget over the counter rubbish.......\n\nIt's called being POSITIVE with what you do no matter how trivial from cooking, cleaning, taking out rubbish, gardening, walking,whatever you do for a Job, just say to yourself No Negativity for this person...IT WORKS just takes a little time to adjust, ITS AMAZING HOW QUICKLY YOU BECOME MOTIVATED,\nOK i hear you say this guy is a nutter, BUT I have turned my life around from being like yourself un motivated feeling down and tired all the time...\n\nNow I walk with purpose, talk with confidence,and love the feeling I am getting from being Motivated like this....Not to mention how others around you lift cos you won't accept negativity..\nI always try to no matter what find the positives from any situation and not being bombastic either by the way about it , so lording it over those who want nothing better than to find the negatives..\n\nIt has improved my relationship no end and believe it or not my health as my diet has changed also thus losing weight.\n\nSo all I can say it comes down to ATTITUDE my friend change that then all good will follow CHEERS hope this was of some help,,,

Get up and get moving around. It will help loosen up those stiff muscles.

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.

First of all great job and god bless you for taking charge of your life to a better you!!! Now my doctor told me that it is recommended by the American Heart Association that we need at lease 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week. So here is what i do i either jog or use  the elliptical machine for 45-60 minutes 3 days a week. Then, 2 days out of the week i get on the elliptical for 30 minutes and then i do strength training for 30 minutes. You see that is just part of my life style. One other part is asking for gods help to get me through this because without him i wouldn't be able to do this. So what ever ever higher power you believe in ask for its help and you will get it. Also as part of my healthier eating style i follow the South Beach book its great! You can order it on-line or buy it at a book store for less than 20$. Well I hope this helped you if you want more support or advice don't be afraid to email my email is jgomez3582@yahoo.com. Take care Lisa! Oh by the way my name is James

When you get inspired, start right then.  Don't put it off until tomorrow.  You said you already have a plan, so just pick it up and do it.  If you can, find a friend or family member to be your workout buddy.  When you have someone else involved, you're less likely to skip a workout.  For more motivation, cut out some pictures or articles from the fitness magazine that inspire you.  Tape them up on the fridge or somewhere that you go when you are putting off working out.  You'll see them and be inspired again.

I am trying it out as well.  I'm still on Learn & Burn, as I still don't feel coordinated enough to go on to the next video. :)  I always sweat like a pig, and feel like I'm getting a good workout, but I don't get sore as easily as I did w/other workouts.  \nI think you should at least give TJ a chance.  I would say if you don't see SOME kind of results in a month, it's time for a change.  Best of luck to ya hun! :)

Stretch your muscles and it won't hurt as bad.\nYou should never over do it. start out slowly and work your way up. I drink Mona Vie too, it gives me energy and that extra boost to keep going, even if I over do it a lil.\nyeah I've done it too so don't feel bad. But be careful because I have also hurt my back real bad trying to push myself with the devil oops I mean sit ups.whch is why I do crunches but I bought a ball so it makes it easier.\ngood luck and if you want some more info on Mona Vie let me know.you can e-mail me at monavie42481@yahoo.com

are you burning fat or building muscle?\n\nIt depends on what you are doing.  It sounds very good for building muscle..not the best for burning fat.\n\nIt is a tough workout none the less!!  Keep it up!

Do isolation crunches instead of sit ups. It is a much better workout for the abs. Cardie, cardie, cardie. Cardie karate puts a different push on the mind. makes you want to work harder. Even one of the tapes will help: Billy Blanks, etc. I am even going the yoga route.

have a goal to work towards, once you reach it maintain it, and if you find yourself slipping, work towards a new goal.  or get a partner!  when you have an obligation to meet someone for your workout, you're less likely to skip out.  also try switching up your routine!  if you normally run, try biking instead so you don't get bored.  its easy to kick your routine if its mundane  and repetitive.
