Newbie - ? About Denise Austin's Program

Hi All,

Was thinking of trying Denise Austin's program on-line and was wondering if anyone here has tried it? I haven't worked out in about month or so and wanted some motivation!

I work FT, go to school FT and have 2 children and a hubby; only time I have to work out is in the early morning around 5:30am-usually go hiking and running until 7am. BUT have been finding it ever more difficult to get up in the morning! ARGH! Used to have a work out buddy so knowing there was someone waiting for you was great motivation but she has moved out of the area so have had to relie on my own motivation; yeah not working so hot! LOL!

Please let me know if you have tried her program or know of anyone who has. THanks for the feed back!

Also, anyone in the BURBANK,CA area interested in walking the foothills in the morning?

Thanks all!
LuAnn

Hi nice to meet you! 5:30 am uuuggghhh! I don't like get up that early to take a shower much less work out. lol I agree having some accountability to someone else sure helps you keep a commitment to yourself to work. I haven't tried the Denise Austin program but might go check out it since

Thanks for the post! And you're right, it would be a bit of a commute for you! LOL!

I was doing pretty good walking the hills, really got my rear in shape for sure, but you know it can get pretty boring doing that every day by yourself :-( WAH! But I know that getting out there and walking/running is what pulls the weight off. I just need to convince my inner voice that getting up early IS really worth it!

Thanks again and I do hope others give me some input as well! It is ALWAYS appreciated!

Cheers!

Hi Gretchen,

Thanks for the post and if you go check out her (Denise Austin's) site let me know what you think.

It is hard getting up that early but I always see people out at that time running and hiking; some of them in their 70's or older! It is also the most peaceful and beautiful time of the day, at least I think so, I'm an early bird and not a night owl.

I am going running in the morning and hiking on Sunday so maybe that will help push me into the week!

Thanks so much!
Luann

Hi LuAnn, and welcome to our board!


Sorry to say that I haven't heard of Denise's online program either...


Hope you enjoyed your hike this morning....I'm sure it's an enjoyable 'trek'! I'm all the way down in the Virgin Islands, so my commute would be just as tricky as Miranda's ;-)


Hope to see you here again soon-

I went and took a peek at the Denise Austin Program. I didn't sign up because I just don't have the cash. However, she does give you some exercises and menu ideas just for taking a look as well as some e-mails with tips and so forth. I think I'd give it a try just based on what I saw if I had the extra money.

Thanks Gretchen,

I'm going to begin the program in the next week, waiting for Thursday's pay day! I'll keep you posted on how it goes, we'll see if it works! I'll be the Guinea Pig for this one! LOL!

Have a wonderful week!
