Any ideas on exercises? I can jus do in my home I love
To walk but I don't live in a very safe neighborhood
I don't have room and expenses for exercise equipment
So I'm limited and I was never an exercise person
But lookin to do it n get fit

What kind of exercises are you looking for? Youtube has several workout channels, AND they're free, which makes it nice.

My favorite is www.youtube.com/genghisgirl
Her channel is especially awesome if you're short on time, since most workouts don't go past 5 minutes, but they're HARD.

Leslie Sansone has a walking dvd series. I have it and like it and recently loaned it to my daughter to use. She tried it and hated it but liked it. In other words she hates exercising but did manage to do this and thought it worked her out good. She recently had bariatric surgery.

Try body weight exercises. A book I found helpful was Mark Lauren's "You Are Your Own Gym" he has a website as well http://www.marklauren.com/ Also you can check out bodyweightculture.com and a site where you can purchase body weight exercise programs is bodyweightcoach.com I also enjoy Turbulance Training. You can check out by blog here for some body weight stuff as well. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/rileysowner A great resource that is free is Youtube.com where you can find out how to do a bunch of exercises. For that matter you can cobble together your own suspension exercise setup using dog leashes. I have one put one together in my basement from dollar store dog leashes and it works quite well. Body weight exercise can take you a long way, as can calisthenics. You don't need a gym. Finally, there are a bunch of exercise DVDs out there. I used Tae-bo for the vast majority of my weight loss.

I live in Louisiana, where it is too hot to breathe, much less run/walk outdoors in the summer. We were able to splurge on a treadmill, which is my go-to workout.

I also bought the Zumba dvd workouts, p90x, and have a couple active games for our Playstation 3. I ordered some Jillian Michaels dvds through amazon for about $7 each (30 day shred, kettlebell workout, and one other one...) I like having it all to pick and choose what I feel like doing. There is no way in heck I could do p90x daily, but I slip one routine in once a week...I also did the Leslie Sansone walking videos before I got the treadmill. She could kick my butt! LOL

I think whatever you do, pick and choose...mix it up, and it won't seem so monotonous and boring

Good luck!!!

hiya I like the wii fit because there is such a large range of exercises on there and it has a management function so it can weigh you and track your progress (theres also a really cool zumba game out now too that's worth checking out). If you're after something to tone your core muscles I'd definately recommend tae-bo. Its a kind of basic martial art moves encorporated with some cardio/aerobics which fcusses on strengthening your core in order o increase your power (although no fighting on the DVD)I think the man's name is Billy Blanks or something like that (I got my DVD from the pound shop which was a bonus indeed)
weighted hula hoops are also really good for toning your core and give you a decent cardio work out without being too hard

Hope you find something that works well for you xx

Love doing the Leslie Sansone walking series - in home! Just ordered Zumba as a treat for myself - and yes doing it in "home", so I can giggle myself thin I figured every laugh = a few more calories burned !!!! Good Luck
