Those without gym memberships.

maddiex_x

I used to have a gym membership but cancelled it because I cannot afford it anymore. To those not going to the gym, what do you do to help you lose weight and get into shape?

Stooooo

Beachbody work outs like Insanity, P90X and ChaLEAN Extreme.

Fat2FitChick

Turbo Fire & Nintendo Wii Fit

Wii Fit, 30 Day Shred, walking

ropedancer

I get exercise DVDs, either from the library or used off of half.com. Once the rest of the snow melts, I hope to do some walking outside as well.

Atlantique

I'm doing C25K and I also have a Pilates Reformer at home (bought in better economic circumstances). I have some 8 pound weights, too.

Also have extended the dog's normal walks.

ajh2011

Outside workouts- Jogging/Walking, walking lunges, squats, etc. Get an exercise ball and weights and turn on some great tunes and work it!! I also do the WII fit sometimes to mix it up.

AlisonMacKay

I walk every day and do wii fit and wii active ona a rotation. I am thinking about get zumba for wii too.

The pavement, my sneakers and http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2009/12/09/beginner-body-weight-workout-burn-fat-build-muscle/

I REFUSE to pay to be in shape (aside from my winter running clothes, which actually I mostly borrowed or asked for as presents )

Checkout various workout videos from your local library.
Fill an empty milk jug with water, if its a gallon jug you're looking at about 9 lbs for free weights, look into body-weight exercises that work multiple muscle groups at once, I'm leaning towards squats, pushups, pullups etc
Walk around the neighbourhood, got a dog to walk? got a neighbour that has a dog that you can offer to walk? you win with the companion for the walk, neighbour wins by getting the dog an extra walk...

This weekend I'll be doing a lot of shoveling, and some chopping and splitting, so though I won't have gym access I'll have an even better workout than what I get out of the gym.

If you have cable TV, check out the OnDemand section. Netflix also has a great selection of workouts too! If you're more self motivated that me, you can put together your own routines through magazines/websites like Shape. And, if you can't afford a good weight set just yet, canned food works pretty good.

Asomething

running & 30 Day Shred.

taso42_DELETED

Running (treadmill) and free weights.

Azzrielish

I walk or jog nearly every day plus I have a few workout DVDs (30-Day Shred, Burn Fat Boost Metabolism, Pure Burn Super Strength) and I also check out workouts on my cable providers free on-demand Exercise TV.

bparsont

If you're strapped for money WALK, WALK, WALK at a brisk pace. My GF lost 90 pounds and spent "zero" money on exercise equipment. Walking can really take the pounds off and it's cheap. I walk and also have an old treadmill to walk on when it's bad weather. YOU CAN DO IT, just WALK!! :flowerforyou:

kaits108

One member posted what she did in her Boot Camp Class and I've been doing it on my non-gym days and it's awesome!

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/183578-an-awesome-bootcamp-workout

Plus I can use it as a template to make other at home workouts.

Besides that I use Exercise TV all the time to find fun new workouts. I love changing things up, so it works well for that!

sbodi

I've been using the game EA Active 2 for the Xbox Kinect, it really works you out and has a lot of variety of activites so you don't get bored! I also have been using websites with free workout videos on them. Libararies also have a pretty good selection of videos and they're free as well. Hope this helps a little.

hungrymarathongirl

I mix it up with running and various workout DVD's. Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, Shred It With Weights, Yoga Meltdown. Biggest Loser - Bootcamp and Yoga DVDs. I haven't had a gym membership for years.

kidakiwi04

My dad has an elliptical in his basement so that, 30DS, walking, MyShape for wii, and most recently Xbox Kinect. Also going outside to play with my nephew.

Awineburg

If you have a local community center or rec center take a class...

SassyStef

I do work out video off of netflicks, I also have some from forever ago like taebo and slim in 6 (beach body). I run 3 days a week as well. When I am out driving in my car I use the mile tracker thing to see how far places are. I started out running 1 mile and now I am up to 5!!
Working out outside is great...you can also find a local park and use the park benches to do like, step ups and push ups and tricep dips...use the monkey bars for pull ups....just use your imagination!!

When I take my little to the park she like to do things with me too...we also do yoga lol she love the downward dog. The gym is no the be all end all to working out!
Enjoy the fresh air!
:glasses:

TiDinzeo

Rowing machine, Wii fit, Wii sports Tennis and I've pre-ordered Wii Zumba for when it comes out next week. And I'm thinking about going to real life Zumba as well. I just need to find out how much it costs near here.

baisleac

I have free weights, resistance bands, Wii Fit, a bike, my feet (walking), my body (body weight strength exercises), and a husband who nudges me when I'm feeling unmotivated (to be fair, I do the same to him.)

pammyxjean

Turbofire and chalean extreme, I would loooove a membership, someday

lisy28

I do classes that have drop in prices -yoga, hip hop and zumba are my three i pay 100 for 8 or 15 drop in...

Or i have yoga & pilates DVD and i walk with my boss for my whole hour lunch everyday which is great to to burn off some calories and get out of the office...

Hova1914

I run/walk, bike ride, roller blade/skate, do the occasional workout DVD (checked out from the library for FREE), or the occasional zumba/dance class with a friend. that combined with diet has worked great for me.

lilRicki

I dance my *kitten* off (literally) throw some tunes on and bounce around like you're at the club...do it for about half an hour...then I do calisthetics. I made my own little weekly challenge book. This week is 50 twist crunches, 50 leg ups, 50 jumping jacks, 50 squats, 50 calf raises...4 days a week. Look on line for tons of calisthetic work outs. it's free! I also have an exercise ball i bought for $20 at superstore (canadian). you can look up tons of exercises for that too.

mumma2boyz

Zumba DVDs, Pilates, and I record exercise programs (like yoga, cardio) on my DVR - that way I always have a variety. I also play hard with my boys. Sometimes they tell ME they need a break! Every other day, I do 30 minutes of pushups, crunches, and planks. It's working for me! And no excuses because I can do it all in my living room.

Loveebbs

Turbo Fire with a little of P90X
