    Hi. I enjoy working out at home. I use an app called Sworkit and love it. There are different options to choose from (Strength, Cardio, Yoga, stretching). I use the free version but there is a Premium option. I've worked myself up to doing 25 minutes a day of the strength exercises rotating between full body, lower body, core, ect. I am to Sworkit 4-5 days a week and apart from that I fit two 20 min walks in at work and sometimes three. I also walk 2-3 miles after work. The sworkit it gives a good work out for sure! I have muscles I never thought I would have :)

    Morning! I work out at home as well. I have a Bowflex Max Trainer but I like to get outside as much as I can when the weather is nice. I also own a resistance tube and a couple dumbbells but they are all kinda light so it is time to invest in something heavier so I can do more strength work outs. I have a Garmin Vivofit 3 and a chest band HRM that I use every work out I do to give me an idea of how much I am burning.

    Today I did 45min of yard work: I cut down and then hauled off some bushes/trees I don't want anymore. They were a good 10+ ft tall so it was quite challenging hauling them off. I have a couple more but with 97% humidity I wanted to be safe and decided to stop once the sun started beating down on me making it hotter...this was 7am-8am this morning!

    I would like to get back to my 1/2 hour home workouts when I can't make the gym or jog. I like Ripped in 30. The moves are all adaptable enough and I did get some inches off last year before my injuries happened.

    Did Week 1 of that series yesterday before work, realizing I had to skip my gym class. It was a good day. I'll join you all when I can't make it out!

    Saturday I didn't work out per say but was very active, we were working on a bathroom remodel and I was the go and get it person. I went to each of our home repair warehouse stores multiple times getting different things and hit pretty good steps on my garmin.

    Sunday morning, after a yummy breakfast, my daughter and I went for 2 laps around the neighborhood (1.5mi).

    Today I plan to go out for a walk/jog in the neighborhood as soon as I get off work here.

    I'm doing p90x

    So I have a pull up bar, power block elite that goes to 70lbs, some bands, pushup bars etc...

    Also have the treadmill and some weight machine that doesn't get used much.

    Simple for now, probably do 2 rounds of p90x then get a bench and more weights.

    Today I spent 25 minutes running on the treadmill and then did some upper body - mostly biceps, triceps, chest, and upper back. Wasn't able to finish all my sets so will finish up tonight before Pilates.
