So glad I just saw this, though a bit late to the party. I do all of my workouts from home, mainly because I live an hour away from the nearest gym. I have a variety of DVDs, mat, dumbbells, recumbent bike and mountain bike. Was doing great with 4 to 5 workouts each week, but got sidelined by a knee injury about 10 days ago. Will be back at it either tomorrow or Monday, and not feeling a whole lot of motivation right now. Looking for a way to keep accountable and have tips for new ideas. I think this will do it!

I work out at home with dvds or Youtube videos every morning. After work I go to the gym and lift weights or run.

I alternate circuit weight training days and cardio days. I have dumbells from 8 to 30 lbs, stability ball, resistance bands, kettlebells, a Spinning bike, and an adjustable step bench that goes from 6 to 14" high. Most of my dvds are by Cathe Friedrich. I do Youtube videos by Fitness Blender and Jessica Smith.

Hey all,

I workout at home too. I'm a copyeditor and I work full time from home while caring for my two-year old son. My husband's current job has us traveling and living in different cities for just a few months at a time. Between constantly moving around and having a toddler, getting a gym membership is tricky, so for the last year I've been trying to work out at home with varied results lol.

Because we are constantly moving, we don't actually own very much furniture. And this includes workout equipment. So I mostly do bodyweight exercises like planks push-ups squats etc. sometimes the housing that they set us up and has a little workout room or something along those lines, but not all the time. So my workouts vary a bit based on where we are living.

We are supposed to be moving in June, and our new location we will be in for about a year. So, I may try and get a gym membership there but it will also depend on funds. I'd love to get into lifting, but if it doesn't fit in a suitcase (or if it pushes my suitcase weight over 50 lbs) it's out of the question as far as owning equipment lol.

I have a really hard time staying motivated. I go through spurts where I work out regularly and then spurts where I don't at all. Any tips on staying motivated would be greatly appreciated

I got a fitness glider some years back, which I now use 5 times a week. I've been slowly building up a gym with

• A book of strength training exercises
• A stability ball
• Fitness tubes
• Fitness bands
• A Nerf soccer ball (some of the warm-up exercises require using a ball to work out with)
• A mat
• dumbbells

On my 'to get at some point' list:

• Some sort of low platform. Probably just get a stepstool from Wal-Mart
• Heavier dumbbells
• Another set of fitness tubes; some of the strength-training exercises in the book require two tubes, one for each leg.

I also take long walks.

I did a 1.5 mile run, followed by some weights, followed by a nice hot bath! X

Im trying to add some activity to my daily routine, all varieties that seem fun to me. I probably qualify as the ultimate anti exerciser, but I really want to do this. I'm trying to start with some yoga stretches for 15 minutes with the idea of working up to a total of 60 minutes of varied activity a day.
That's the plan. I ordered a pretty yoga towel that should get here tomorrow.

You can add me. I have always worked out at home. I have a large collection of dvds and have invested in beach body on demand which allows me to do my workouts anywhere that has WiFi on my iPad. I am currantly visiting my parents and have done my workouts in random places in the house. I am currently in the 10th week of doing the weight circuits from chalean extreme 3 days a week and then I either do my elliptical or turbo fire for the days in between. I have seen amazing results from this program so far. I also love love fitnessblender.com. great free workouts to suit any need on that site
