in Health and Weight Loss
I've lost 10 pounds so far and a big part of that was walking or jogging on my treadmill about 5 times a week, but now its been broken for a couple weeks and my weight hasn't gone down at all, I've been trying aerobic workout videos as a replacement but I see no change in my weight. On days when I'm not able to walk outside, what are other ways to workout ?

    Weight loss comes from having a calorie deficit, so I would look into your logging first. Are you logging everything? Weighing your foods on a scale?

    Try elliptical machine at gym, and spinning class at local gym.

    If you have stairs at home, in your apartment building or available elsewhere , running or walking stairs might work for you. No cost at all.

    Not if it's in the 100's like it has been here! Some people could do that, but I can barely walk actoss the parking lot in that heat without getting sick.

    Oh, I get that, but was wondering what the OP's circumstance is.

    I have the opposite problem. I broke down and bought myself a treadmill a few years ago because I'm in Canada and the winters sometimes make walking outside a threat to life and limb. ;)

    For me, it isn't weather, but my work hours that get in the way! Most days I don't get home until after 10 and I don't like going out once its dark

    FitnessBlender also has really good free workout videos, all of varying difficulty of cardio and strength training. They're my favorite.
