What are your tips for successful challanges?

[dvcfamily41801]

I just signed up for the 5 for January challenge and the January Exercise challange and am excited about both!

Do you just go out walking or anyone use workout DVDs in your home and if so which ones are any good? My DH leaves for work at 5:30 am and by the time we get home from work and finish all of our night activities it is dark out. I do not live in a bad neighborhood at all, I just get a little creeped out walking at night so I am trying to come up with other alternatives for exercising. It is not in our budget to join a gym or fitness center, and truthfully...I have gone that route several times only to end up quitting after a few months.

Thanks for any suggestions!

If you have fittv, they have some really energetic a.m. programs. Since you are awake early, you might fit in that.

Otherwise, try the library. You might find some interesting exercise DVDs and a variety to try before you buy if you do buy.

I'm not sure of your fitness level, but you could try Walk Away the Pounds by Leslie Sansone. I know a lot of people who use the Firm and have found great success with that.

I also love using the Winsor Pilates or again, the library should have a choice of pilates to try.

Walk in place to some music you can put on for a certain length of time or to a TV program, skip rope, skip

Do you want me to stop yet?

Congratulations on you quest. You can do this. It will be such fun!
