    I workout from home and love it. I use Dumbbells, weight plates, bench and variety of DVDs . I usually walk/run on neighborhood track but in case of rain I use my treadmill. Always looking for motivating & supportive friends if interested.

    Nice selection. Thank you

    Hi Liz I ride my stationary bike at home for 30 minutes on most days of the week cause 30 minutes is all my body can take on that iti biti bike seat. sumtimes I push myself to 45 minutes but I always make sure to burn more calories every time I ride.

    I do! I have dumbbells (5, 8, & 12lbs) and a stationary bike that I use once a week when taking a break from jogging or when weather's bad. I'm looking into buying weight bar (is that what they're called?) so I can try deadlifting!

    Nice. Dead lifting?

    Love working out from home

    Is this what you have at home?! Practically a full gym I think. Amazing

    After years of paying for a gym membership that I would end up using half the year, I started building this. Been about a year but has been worth every penny. Hard to make excuses not to work out when it is all only a few feet away.

    Yes, memberships can be quite expensive, as well as travelling to the gym.

    I mainly exercise at home. I use The Firm , Cathe Friedrich (only her beginning step tapes right now) and Chalene Johnson Turbo Jam. I have (1) the original club step (with slanted risers coming); (2) a high step to substitute for The
    Firm Fanny Lifter: (3) 2, 4, 6 and 8 pound dumbbells and (4) varying degrees of resistance bands. I only started back exercising 6 weeks ago. I plan to add more as I become stronger.

    Hi.
    Well done for starting back.
    This is only my fifth day

    I workout on my elliptical at home, 5-6 days a week. I also workout with a barbell and I do some calisthenics. And I dance, looooove to dance. Just throw some headphones on and turn up the volume, great workout! So far I've lost 43 pounds since January, doing those things! Good luck to you :smiley:

    Ive worked out at home for over 12 years now and LOVE IT!! Ive always just done Beachbody programs, started back in the day with P90X and have gone through almost all of their programs from there. lost 80 pounds since kid #3 and now Im strength training, using the containers to count macros and doing Hammer & Chisel! LOVE my home gym;) I just feel more focused when I follow a program that is set up and laid out for me I just have to follow the calendar and eat the nutrition according to the activity level and i see results!

    I have DVDs - Rosemary Conley, Davina McCall and my new fave Lorraine Kelly - plus Wii Zumba 2 and Wii Zumba core. I have 1.5kg hand weights for use with the DVDs, plus 0.5kg wrist/ankle weights I got cheap and use sometimes for extra effort doing workouts.

    BTW, if you want a "gym" but don't have a lot of room. A stationary bike is very compact and good cardio (find some spin classes on youtube to follow) and they're cheap (especially used). Then an exercise ball, and walmart sells a dumbbell set for about $25. It's sand (I think) filled weights and the weight is interchangeable on the dumbbells. It's 40lbs of weight total I believe (I bought the set so I could shove some weight in my ruck and not try to get 35lbs of canned food in there, lol). If you want 40lbs per hand just buy 2 and that's about $50. Which isn't a lot. Or buy some resistance bands. We either built some of our stuff (the pullup bar) or bought it all used off craigslist too, that's a definite resource to look into. And if you want a pullup bar the one that goes in the doorway that you don't screw into the frame works great and doesn't cost much. I've used it with my suspension straps before too. Just make sure you're on the correct side while using it or you'll fall.

    I think back in the day I paid $50/month for a YMCA membership because they did childcare as well and we lived in upstate NY so I couldn't run outside with a jogging stroller in the snow. So, for maybe $200 you can get a mini gym in your home.

    Nice Mari. What's 31dfx?

    It's a 21 day workout program that comes with meal planning. Love it, I've gotten great results with it!
