    I use a little cycle designed to fit under a desk. I use it in front of the tv, or when I'm on my phone. They're $25 at walmart.

    Leslie Sansone has videos on Youtube. They are walking indoor exercises with a difference. Also Fitness Blender do every exercise under the sun on Youtube. These are all free so you can try before you buy (if you want to buy that is)

    Hey Fellow housewife :) I am a stay at home mom of 4 (we homeschool) and I tell ya, finding time for me to exercise is close to impossible but not impossible! When I started I too did not feel confident exercising outside so I went on craigslist and got a treadmill for cheap bc I knew that if I bought a new expensive one I would fail and waste money.. After a week of walking it turned into walking fast and so on until I was running. Eventually I added dance and squats off Youtube for an extra kicker! IT can be done, you can do it and you will feel so much better when you do! :wink:

    You tube has many videos. Check out Jillian micheals. Now if those are too intense there are many others.

    I also blast music and dance in the house...just not when I have knives in my hands while I am cooking. Don't ask me how I know not to do that. :blushing:

    ^^ This. Blasting music and dancing around (especially when cleaning) will actually burn more calories than you think. One of my favorite way to burn calories. And bonus, I end up with a clean house! :)

    If you have a smartphone, Nike Training is a great app for home training. It's free and it has a lot of amazing workouts. If you don't have a ton of time, it also offers 15 minute workouts. I also like the yoga.com app, although you have to pay in order to see all of the videos. Also, youtube!

    diet monitoring/calorie deficit is for weight loss
    working out is for general health and wellness and over all fitness.

    This↑↑

    Also there is a program called "you are your own gym" it has a great app with full workout schedule and even short workouts for when time is limited. It costs a few bucks but over all worth it.

    I like the 30 day LBD challenge. I can't vouch for results as I'm not done yet but I like it.

    I have several different DVD workout videos so I can mix and match them when I start to get bored of one routine.

    Set a timer & climb up and down the stairs as many times as you can in 30 minutes. Increase time as needed.

    Did this all through winter a couple of years ago.

    Also I really enjoy yoga. It's as easy or intense as you make it. It needs little or no equipment and you can start with a video.
