Already bored of my fitness routine...

aliann30

So I just started a few weeks ago. I've been doing the Biggest Loser Boot Camp DVD, adding some Pilates DVD and dancing mixed throughout the week. I don't know but I'm starting this week off in the wrong mindset or something, because I'm just bored of it. I would LOVE to get outside and go for a walk, but I live in Alaska and we've had a cold snap in the -30s for the past week or so. I don't have ANY equipment, no weights, nothing... and I don't really have the money to go out and buy any of that right now.

Any ideas on things I can do at home to change it up (preferably without staring at a TV screen) would be MUCHO appreciated!!

Put some fun songs on and dance? It will at least put you in a better mood!

I really like the 90 Day Supreme workout. It would be staring at the TV a little, but it's only $20 for 10 or 11 DVDs. The moves are varied enough that it doesn't get boring. With a rotation of discs, it's even more diverse.

You can always use soup cans for weights in a pinch. they aren't real heavy, but it could mix it up a tad.... Do some lunges, lifts, etc. on your own....

Check out YouTube. I've found all sorts of stuff there -- kickboxing, yoga, zumba. I does mean looking at a screen at least to learn the moves, but you can probably change things up.

ish I could help with ideas but I really cant! I will say however that I have just finished a week off myself! I was feb up and just didn't want to work out anymore! I had had enough! However, after my week off I feel great and ready to get back on it!!

Look into resistance training. excersizing against your own body weight. invent new excersizes to stretch muscles. Use tins of food as weights.
