Looks like everyone in sajha is a personal trainer so maybe i will also act like one with my family pack(soon to be 4/6 packs) .

If you want to add technology to the mix why not get one of these Heart Rate Monitors.

Don't forget to get those straps with the monitor. You can analyze your workout session and even maintain logs and discuss with personal trainer what you need to add in the mix.

It is very accurate and will help you know which zone you are in. Most ppl only think about how long they worked out and how much calories they burn. But they forget about intensity which is also equally important.

One of the things that may help you is joining fitness class with a group. You will be amazed how much difference this can make rather than just joining run of mill Gym. Most people it is not that they don't want to work out but that they lack motivation. Being in a group really helps especially if they measure weight and monitor it weekly or bi-weekly. It might even arouse competitive feeling among the members and foster support for each other.

Depending on your income level and your locality.. you definitely and absolutely need to join gym if you are serious. Working alone in home watching some dude on TV Screen telling you what to do won't work for 90% of people. Maybe it will work if you have that "Brazilian Butt lift" DVD.

Planet fitness: 10 bucks a month
LA fitness:35 bucks a month
24 hr fitness:25-25 bucks a month
Lifetime fitness:110 bucks a month

If your excuse is gym is expensive, that is poor one. If your excuse is far, choose the one that is closet to you even if it is expensive, At least you will be making use of it. There is no point joining 10 dollar planet fitness and not wanting to drive 45 mins-1 hr to go there.

Don't ignore simple things like hydation and good sleep. There is no substitute for it. Last but not the least, it's true what you eat is what you are.

This won't work out, if you burn 600 calorie in a day and start eating 4000 calorie a day or gulping 1000 calorie smoothie.

Ok now I feel like a personal trainer.

if you guys need more motivation call me at 1-800-DRPHILL
