    Well, for me, it's not trying it out. It's how I've been doing it for the last couple of years. What sort of info/support/etc are you looking for?

    Ah. Yeah, I don't belong to a gym and I'm sporadically employed, so not that enamored of having monthly fees come out of an account when so little goes in. So, I got a book on strength training and some dumbbells and other equipment and started working out in the basement.

    For cardio, I prefer long walks, but when the weather or the daylight hours don't cooperate, I have a glider in the basement too.

    What are you doing?

    I do Beachbody on demand I used to love the gym but I found these workouts work better and allow me to.be home with my daughter while I workout so its the best of both world's!

    I've heard good things about those. I'm just a little behind the times with a desktop computer only. And no room to work out in the office. So for me, at this point, videos aren't really ideal. Books with good pictures of the exercises are better.

    And your daughter looks like such a cutie!

    I started with the BeachBody Insanity programme and then went on to thier T25 regime. I got fit and got to my target weight in a controlled way. I would say it will work for everyone if you stick to the plan (exercise and food intake recommendations). I don't like the gym environment so working out at home is perfect for me.

    I work out at home - or the fitness room in the apartment. I've found a couple of YouTube videos I play on my smart TV (like 7 min workouts). I try to go use the elliptical several times a week and am starting to take the stairs a few times a week (11 floors!) - I've done it once and didn't die...so that is good. I also have the PiYO series from beach body - and have done that a few times....nothing consistent....and have found that there is Free Yoga at work on Fridays (been here 18 months and just learned that!) so I'm on week 2 of that today over lunch!

    If ya want to add me - go for it. I do most of my logging through my Fit Bit and if I could get them to synch both the exercise and food log I'd be thrilled....in the meantime...know I log it all....I just am too techno stupid to make it work together and don't want to add everything in TWICE...once is hard enough. If curious...just ask and I'll admit to whatever!

    I would love to join this community. I’m looking for some type of accountability. I lack motivation to work out at home, I’ve started to do so as of Wednesday I hope I can keep it up. My work schedule is a bit hectic and doesn’t allow me to commit to a gym.

    I work out at home as well. A mix of Pilates, power yoga and body weight exercises.

    I'm following one of Fitness Blender programs (mix of cardio, HIIT, lifting and pilates), working out 4-5 times a week and love it! I don't log my exercises (as I mainly do it to get fit and not burn calories), but I post daily about what kind of exercise I'm up to. Anyone can add me if you'd like!

    Eldergym has free, safe workouts for seniors and people with disabilities. Run by a physical therapist with geriatric certification. Not everyone can do rigorous workouts like beach body, but you can get excellent results using modified programs.
