Does anyone know of any good female work outs to do from home? I'm a mum of 2 and like to work out from home as it's easier to fit in.
I'm looking for work outs that include both cardio and toning?
Any suggestions would be appreciated

I have been waiting for someone to ask this so I didn't feel like I was shoveling her down anyone's throat but check out BOHO BEAUTIFUL's channel on youtube. So amazing. I've lost 10lbs and gotten super fit doing her pilates, yoga and cardio0

Google Jillian Michaels. She is amazing herself, but if you don't like her workouts (Can't beat 30 day shred to start), that search will take you to other bootcamp-style workouts. I have never liked any workout as much. Includes bodyweight exercises and cardio.0

I started out with Insanity dvds but branched out on my own for about 5 months now. I have stairs in my apartment and I run up and down those, jumping jacks, planks, body weight moves in general. A medium resistance band for toning. On Fridays I squat with my bf's 25lb weights. I've seen results! I'm not going to get shredded on this but I'm regular person fit(toned) now! It's totally doable and I'm dripping in sweat after 20 minutes. (go until you can't go anymore!). But Insanity is a good workout!1

Personally I think the reddit body weight fitness program (link here) works great as it can all be done at home in your living room with almost no equipment and it builds a good strength base. It doesn't take too much time, 45-60 minutes 3 days a week. Combine it with some light jogging on the off days and you have a great routine that can be done from home that works both strength and cardio.
"Toning" is a rather meaningless term. Being toned is a combination of having muscle mass and low body fat percentage. There is no specific exercise that will get you a "toned" look. It is a combination of strength training and watching your calorie intake to lower your body fat percentage.

Strong Curves had an alright 12 week lifting program0

The following has all worked very well for me while I was losing 80 pounds and keeping it off for over 3 and a half years so far:
- Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home DVD's
- Jessica Smith on Youtube
- Fitness Blender on Youtube
- Beachbody workouts (Chalean Extreme, Body Beast and Hammer & Chisel)
- Cathe Friedrich series (X-train, Slow and Heavy, STS and Low Impact/High Intensity)
I also enjoy going on a good fast powerwalk on a beautiful trail 4 - 5 days a week.
Good luck!0 -
Fitness Blender is my favourite though I do random Youtube searches now and again for something different.
You don't need to train any differently to men so don't be put off if it's a male instructor.0 -

I love the pop sugar videos! They have 10-20 minute workouts and I do 2 or 3 of each! One circuit,one cardio and one focused strength video every other day and it works for me. Definitely give it a try.0

QFT. "Toned" = being able to see your muscles. Either you need to lose fat to see those muscles, or you need to make your muscles bigger. Ya can't really tone a muscle. It is toned.
+1 Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. +1 Insanity - it's much more intense, but I sweat SO MUCH and became so strong in just two-three weeks of doing it.

I did P90X3, and loved it. It's the 30 minute version if P90X. lost 30 lbs over the 90 days. Keep in mind I had to change my diet as well to lose that weight. It really helped make me fit and strong. I ended up adding in 1 day of running per week after 60 days into the program, and I was able to run 3 miles without stopping or slowing down to walk the 1st time I tried running. I was shocked. Anyway, I would highly recommend it.1

Bikini Body Mommy. She's on YouTube. She has good short workouts.1

blogilates with Cassie ho I hate working out but she makes it fun and gives you an app and interactive calendar each month to work on your whole body.0

Jillian Michaels!! 30 Day Shred is great, Ripped in 30 is better in my opinion. Her BodyShred program is amazing also, but it's a bit more intense and should probably be done after you master the other two.0
