Hi!! I do my workouts at home. Walking on trails close to home and light weightlifting at home. Don’t be discouraged, there’s tons you can do at home with little to no equipment!! Chin up!0

This makes me sad. Is what you're doing working for you? Don't let anyone else's workouts make you feel defeated. People are at all stages on here. While I workout at home sometimes using an exercise bike or weights and sometimes go to the gym, I wouldn't judge anyone for doing what they're able and capable of doing. Everyone's home lives are different and the amount of time they have to devote to workouts is different. Some people don't workout at all. Be proud of yourself for what you are doing, and good luck with whatever your goals are.2

Hi Crochetmam...I do my workouts at home. I walk, do Fitness Blender workouts, and bike sometimes. I feel sad that I don't have time to go to the gym because I love going to the gym, but at least this way my kids see me working out and I'm a good example in at least that way.0

Hey, last week part of my workout was "raking" the lawn for 20 minutes. I mostly workout at home myself, I'm also a returning full time student so when I am in school I can get a good workout at the school facilities. I found a "used" treadmill super cheap and I have a few weights I work out with. I also do morning Yoga per the wellness channel on TV and do the "30-day" challenge apps to supplement. My yoga mat was the best money I ever spent on exercise equipment, followed by my $2000 NordicTrac I found for $250.
Don't feel defeated just because you don't go to the gym to workout. There are a ton of workouts you can do at home. Also, for different DVD's hit up donation stores and yardsales.1 -
Hi..Girl i love working out at home. I use to go to the gym and it wasn't for me. You spend most of your time waiting..it has taken me a few years but i have made my own nice little home gym in my daughters old bedroom..nothing major...just a bench, free weights, yoga stuff..you can find everything you need at Walmart and Target..or even Amazon. I also love www.grokker.com they have all types of workouts. Good luck and never feel defeated...you are here and that is more than most people1

I workout at home. I just use my body weight and things around the house.
Lift a small table, a bag a dog food, laundry detergent, end of the sofa, etc...
Push ups, planks, dips, leg lifts, handstands against a wall
Walk/Run in place when watching TV
The one piece of equipment I bought was: jump rope!
I was surprised at the amount of calories that are burned in such a short period of time so I was sold.1 -
I workout at home, use Youtube equipment-free workouts. I tend to do about 30 mins a day and then live a sedentary life otherwise.1

-Walking, even around the house
-Walking up and down stairs
-Using stairs for calf exercises
-Body weight exercises including (but not limited to) push-ups, planks, lunges, squats, speed skaters, knee raises, kicks, shadow boxing, dips on the couch, etc.
That is like a fraction of a fraction of what you can do. YouTube videos are great for workouts at home including HIIT and Tabata.
Don't feel defeated or less because you need to do workouts at home. Just find ways to make it fun! For example, when I was sick for 2 weeks I tried to get through as many HIIT videos as I could. I would workout until I was exhausted that day and then start again the next day.1 -

Lol in that case, you may like "Jessica Smith TV" You can look her up straight on Youtube, or you can go to her website and look at "Workout videos" which are organized by type. I have been working through her beginner sets.
You are crochet mama, I will be Cross-stitch mama1 -
