Invest in a personal trainer. Mine is £40/$80 per hour, I see him 3 times a week, but I sware he pushes me so much! And I now in 3 weeks I have abs! Wooohoo!
Plus hes drop dead yummyness! I spend a lot of time looking at his butt to be fair, but who cares! =D All included in the fee!

Its so worth it girls! Im trying to find some before and after photos for you all! In 3 weeks he has really made me a tonne healthier! I am so so impressed!!

Kate

I have been thinking about getting one. Glad it has worked so well for you!

I cannot reccomend getting one enough. I think in a way its better to get a guy! They push you a bit harder! They are probally cheaper in the states too!

Go for it! They can work muscles you didn't know you had.

WW didn't work so well for me even though I followed it religiously for a whole month and excersized daily for at least 1 hr minimum. So, I actually start with my personal trainer today. I'm hoping to learn a LOT more things to do at the gym besides my typical running/elipticals routine and I think that will help me lose a lot of weight and becoming toned all at once. My goal is 20lbs gone by August - totally doable and it'll be the kind of weight that stays off this time! Especially for someone like me, because I've never had weight to lose before... I've always just excersized and did what I wanted to when it came to that because I didn't have real weight to lose... just to maintain. So wooo wish me luck! I'll keep you all updated! I am hoping to go 2-3 times a week.

I agree with the guy thing - especially cause they know a lot of building muscle routines, etc. They only have one guy @ my gym and he doesn't do nights so I was SOL with that one.

Well he makes me do swings with a 6kg medicine ball. And press ups. And this rotation pulley thing that KILLS! I do reverse crunches, the plank thing facing the ground on my elbows and toes! And then on one arm on each side for 20 seconds, he said he wants me to be able to do it for 1 min soon! Arghh!
I also do a LOT of squats with weights, and more press ups, and more dumbbell crunchy things!

I am excited to try "the ball" as I refer to it (medicine balls lol) I've never tried one cause I don't have one at the house and don't bother when I'm at the gym but it looks like most trainers really like to use them. Plus I have no partner for it. Well, my mom goes to the gym with me but it's no good if we don't know what we're doing. LOL.

I'll be down for a shrine once I lose the 20lbs.

ANOTHER GOOD REASON FOR A TRAINER: Someone to blame if you dont lose weight. haha, kidding!

Lol i blame my trainer for most things! The first session I had with him I couldent walk down the stairs for 3 days! He found it amusing...I didnt =P

I got a trainer in addition to my regular gym membership for a month 2-3 days a week for about $320 (16 sessions sooo cheap!!!new member special or something) and it was so worth it. Not only did he push me and got me into really good shape but he also taught me exercises that i did not know. He taught me about weights and got me into a really good training routine that combines weights and cardio. although i do not see him anymore i have maintained the routine and i have gotten so much stronger and defiantly toned. It is a great investment.
