So I officially started working out with Kimberly on Saturday 12/31/11!
So far it has been a lot of fun and I enjoy having someone with me while I am getting my ass kicked my machines. I think you workout longer and better when you have two people compared to just doing it yourself.
So far our workout looks like this:
Warm up- 10 minutes of running with one intense running session in the middle.
Bicycle- 10 minutes at different intensity levels
Weights- 30 minutes average (abs, arms, back)
Cool down- 10 minutes elliptical
We have worked out on Monday 1/2, Wednesday 1/4, Saturday 1/7.
I found Women's Health online (http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness) which has a ton of great tips, and lots of helpful worksheets. You can also find a workout plan based on your body type which is super amazing!
My diet has defintely changed. I crave more fish, nuts, water, and fruit/veggies! I still eat a crap ton though so I need to pay attention to my calories. I know I am supposed to include more protien in my diet, and less carbs/fats but I need to make sure that is ok.
If anyone has some helpful tips, that would be great! I am currently doing more research and I plan to make our cardio more longer. I am doing this to tone up, and get my hourglass figure back which I believe that is what Kim is aiming for too. :) So losing weight is not my top item on the list, but it would be nice.
Helpful tips:
1.What works for you best? 2.How many hours a day do you work out? 3.What would you suggest? 4.Anything else we should know? Thank you everyone who was kind enough to comment (if any) and I hope this year will be a successful year for all of you!

60 one minute (I did the whole min)
220 - 23 (my age) = 197 beats per min = max age related heart rate.
Resting HR = 60 BPM
HRR = 197 - 60 = 137 BPM
Target heart range = 137 x 60% and 137 x 80%.
137 x .6 = 82.2 BPM. 137 x .8 = 109.6 BPM.
