Does anyone suffer from exercise DVD boredom?

I stopped doing DVDs about 2 months ago and started inventing my own cardio & strength workouts. I'm amazed that I'm still getting results and losing weight!

How often do you use DVDs?

I think when people develop their own workouts and nutritional program they really take ownership of it and would have the success that they desire.

Educate + Initiate + Evaluate = Success!

Take care,

I make it a point of getting out to walk/run outside as much as possible, or to exercise with others whenever possible. I find that without the human interaction, it is always hard for me to keep motivated by DVD's alone.

In my article Blurt: Ho Hum Gotta Exercise I offer some solutions to overcome the boredom of exercise. I like to change my routine around to overcome this boredom. I have lost over 80 pounds and I am living a healthier lifestyle. I have come a long way since my days of being bed ridden and I am continuing in my journey to success. I wish you the best of luck in overcoming your boredom. Have a great day!; ▶ Reply to This

That's what I thought--@ 28 weeks sounds like it may be a tough choice for women to "break" the cycle, though. Thanks for posting this very important information which, I'm sure, will benefit women for something to be aware of.

yes, of course, we don't know what causes gestational diabetes, but we have some clues. The placenta supports the baby as it grows. Hormones from the placenta help the baby develop. But these hormones also block the action of the mother's insulin in…
