I usually do some weight lifting, alternating days between upper and lower body. Then cardio, I set a goal of 1 hour of cardio, but sometimes I do more, sometimes less, it depends on my mood. My laziness also defines the equipment that I'm going to use, I usually avoid the recumbent stationary because I already spend too much time on my desk, but when I'm feeling really lazy, then I go with that :/ But when I'm feeling more pro-active, I prefer the stepper or cross-trainer. I also like the treadmill but it burns less than the other two.
A great day to you all

Geri, I think it depends on your speed. In my case, I can't go over 6.5 km/h. I don't even try because I know that I have bad knees.
Susie, I hope the menus give a good results tomorrow!
Susu, I'd love to try zumba, but I'm one of those who are unable to follow instructions and coordinate the movements of body and legs hahaha. I was never a good dancer. Even when I try a video on youtube, I totally mix the movements.

Might be the answer for me too - you know the guy that everyone laughs at in aerobic classes? He and I are from the same gene pool! And I did ballet for seven years (many many many years ago lol).

Hahaha, so we are share the same gene pool!
I'm a failure even with home videos, I get annoyed because I see that I'm doing the wrong thing every 30 seconds.
But I was talking to someone today and I'm considering to start pilates. Any experience?
Day was good with huge portions of veggies and some exercise

DVDs are so harder than when you have an instructor telling you how to do it properly xx

I've done some Pilates letzes - it's brilliant for people lacking in core strength (not that I'm suggesting you are ;-) )
If you can hold a perfect plank for 30secs you probs have good core strength, certainly a reasonable base line anyway. If not Pilates would make a huge difference. But even if you do have good core it can do amazing things for your bod xx

Thank you girls
Cat, I'll check the studios near here and see if they fit my (student) budget!
--
As a side note, I'm not sad, but I'm a bit tired today. Kind of tired of dieting, might give myself a bit of a controlled break as I've already done exercises and I'm plenty of extra calories to consume (I never even reach my target, let alone consuming the exercise calories).
