Need Suggestions On How To Get Fit???

[anewbeginning]

Hello All,

I am 38 years old 5"8 150lbs. single mother of three boys 15, 13, and 6. I would like some suggestions on how to tone up arms, legs, stomach, and a tighten up my buttocks AND get rid of some cellulite on my thighs and buttocks, I need to do this without spending awhole lot of time on it, maybe three days a week max. I am a Bay Area commuter (some of you may have heard about the Bay Area commuters... I live about an hr. away from my job but with traffic/weather conditions can anywhere from a 2 hr drive in and the same going drive home if not more...also depending on the time you leave home/work. I leave home around 4:00 am to beat traffic just to start my day at work at 7:00 am. So you see I do not have awhole lot of time on my hands not to mention commuting can take a toll on your body and mind (I always tired)! Any suggestions that are not tooooooo time consuming would help. By the way I already get enough attention without being fit but for my own
piece of mind I want to look better! Any suggestions???

Thanks! anewbeginning...

Hey Newbeginning...cardio if you can first thing in the morning before you shower then a lite breakfast afterwards..I would get a book or magazine on proper form and what excersises for each bodypart with just the use of dumbells...I can help you out with that if you can't find one...Next time we are at lunch...I'll bring what I have...

All your cardio suggestions are good and I'd try to work up
to 3 days a week 20 min. as a goal and either stay there or go longer
depending on energy. Make use of the gym at work.
Follow this weights routine.....

2 - 3X a week on non consecutive days 2-3 x 10 - 12 each
1 warm up set each exercise of 12
LEG EXTENSION or LEG PRESS (depending on what your gym has)
LEG CURLS
BENCH PRESS
SEATED ROW
SHOULDER PRESS
ARM CURLS

KNEE RAISES)
CRUNCH ) MAX REPS IN 1 MINUTE EACH
CALF RAISE ON STEP OR BLOCK MAX REPS

Hope this fits the equipment you have right now. There are a few different
ideas you can try later on too.
Diet wise, water is good yes and fruit and veggies but use more fish and
chicken and lean meats (protein high, med carbs, low fat to lose weight)
Yes stay away from fried. Smaller and more frequent meals too. -JEFF
