    Two years ago I lost 30 lbs doing the Zumba videos at home, particularly Zumba Cardio Party.

    Anything you can fit in!

    Or, playing with the kids! Running around with children will burn TONS of extra calories, and it will be fun for you and the kids.

    Bodyrocktv.com has some great videos. Or often I set up some circuits and do several body weight or dumbbell exercises back to back with bursts of cardio mixed in. Really gets your heart rate up and burns some calories!

    Sounds like maybe you should invest in some workout dvds. Some libraries have workout dvds available. Most movie stores have a fitness section for movie rentals. Also you can usually find cheap workouts on amazon or ebay. i also like swapadvd.

    Squats, lunges (forward/backward/side), burpees, push-ups, jumping jacks, windmills, shadow-boxing, front/back/side kicks, mountain climbers, etc. The list is endless. Anything that gets you jumping, bending, twisting is good.

    I like the Davina DVDs and I have a stability ball. I also have a weighted hula hoop, a bicycle and love getting outside when the weather is nice. Have a nice little dumbell set as well. Swimming is one of my favourites and it's something you can either do with the children or a lot of places have a creche. Either that or late night swimming xx
