If you are looking to jump start your workout and get some weight off try to get about 30-45 min of cardio in the morning on an empty stomach..



Also switching between cardio and weight training will get your body moving.. You don't ever want to do the same thing for to long because our bodies get use to it and then they plateau..



They are so many new excercies out there.. Try them all at least once.. Hula Hoop Class, Zumba, Kick Boxing, Martial Arts, Hiking, CrossFit, Roller blading, Yoga, Pilates,



For me, personally.. gyms are boring so I like to change it up every few months and keep my body guessing what is next.



If you live in LA here are a few great fitness spots that I have tried and what I liked about them:



Focus Self Defense- http://www.focusselfdefense.com/ (Culver City) They offer Krav Maga, Crossfit, Kettle Bell classes, Yoga, Cardio Bag class..

Morning Crunch-http://www.morningcrunch.com/( Many Different Locations) They use the park for full body work outs and are constantly changing it up and I always feel great after.. They offer morning and evening classes

RoxyFit-http://www.roxyfit.com (West Hollywood)- LOVE the muay thai classes and muay thai boot camp combo.. Roxy keeps all her classes small so you feel like you are getting private training for a low cost! Morning and eveing classes

Easton Gym-http://www.eastgymco.com(West Hollywood/Santa Monica)-I persoanly like their spinning classes.. Nick in the west Hollywood location is AWESOME!
