Default What does everyone do to get/stay in shape?

Well I have been trying to get in shape for about 1.5 monthes now. I have been using or elliptical for about 40mins a day varying the resistance during that 40mins... I also do some push ups and sit-ups afterwards... My wife wont let me get a home gym until i workout on the elliptical for 6 months straight ... My goal is to get down to about 165ish, at my last physical (dec 2010) I weighed 182, which is the most i have ever weighed, so trying to get down on the weight side. For those of you who don't know about my wife, she is a health freak... I don't have any sodas or junk food in the house, so i eat pretty damn healthy, unless she is out of town ...


So what does everyone else do?

I go to the gym everyday. I do a solid 1-1.5hrs of working out, either Chest, back and shoulders, arms or legs. Then after that I do 10-15 mins of abs and 20-30 mins of cardio, either the elliptical or tread mill.

From what Ive heard, working out with weights burns just as much, if not more calories than cardio..

Then I guess stay at the gym for 6 months until your wife lets you workout at home..
