Comments on: Gym Cardio Workout Routine http://www.344pounds.com/2009/11/gym-cardio-workout-routine/ I lost nearly 150 pounds by counting calories. I once weighed 344.2 pounds, now around 200. My story has been told on CNN, CBS, and Newsweek and will soon be in a book.

I get too neurotic about the numbers on the machines. The time, the resistance/speed, etc. I didn't really start getting in shape until after I quit my gym membership. No joke. Right now I run 4 miles, 3 days a week: MWF. I do it just around my neighborhood on the pavement. Takes 35 minutes on average. On T,TH, and Sat I give my joints a break and do the elliptical machine for 30 minutes in my complex's gym. And Sundays I'll do whatever I feel like. If I'm feeling pumped I'll try running 10K on the treadmill, when I'm feeling tired I'll just stick with the bike or walking with a steep incline. After cardio I do a mix of free weights, lunges, squats, resistance band, etc. Whatever I feel like working. I tend to focus on my thighs and bum, but I am a woman. I also take my dog on a 2 mile walk every evening. But I'm to the point where that doesn't even feel like exercise anymore. Oh, fun post!

I am proud, but as I have said before, it's nothing special. It's just consistency, as you said, and putting one foot in front of the other every single day. I appreciate the nice comment.

You absolutely don't need the gym if you did 30 minutes of that every night, almost regardless of settings.
