    Hi I was a gym goer for 14 years but workout at home now and much prefer it. I have a treadmill and a variety of dumbbells, a pull up bar and a bench, so I do a combination of treadmill, P90X, Jillian Michaels and have recently bought a Bob Harper DVD which is a killer lol! I can honestly say I prefer to work out at home because I save on travelling time to and from the gym, if something comes up when I've scheduled my workout then I can change what time I do it.

    I am on day 5 of 30 day shred, it's a challenge but I'm loving it! I also have been doing a little zumba on my xbox 360 . I just don't feel comfortable with the idea of going to a gym and working out in front of others.

    I do a mixture of my own (mish-mash) 5 min workout and the 30 Day Shred, although trust me - it buuurns!

    At home workouts are all I do, no gym for me 1) can't afford it, 2) no time for it

    I have a total gym, do Billy Blanks DVDs, elliptical, run/walk outside, bike outside, and play tennis on our local court in our housing development. Although lately too hot for tennis, triple digits make it too difficult. I am going to be ordering Insanity as soon as I save the money (hopefully next week!!) too :)

    I'm 2 weeks away from finishing P90 and I can't decide if I want to give Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred a try or move directly into P90X when I'm done.

    I'm a SAHM and my husband works out-of-town M-F, and while there is an Anytime Fitness nearby, they don't offer child care there and I don't have a sitter. So working out at home is what works best for me and I've lost 16 lbs so far!

    I have always worked out at home because I have no desire to join a gym. When I leave work, I just want to go home. At home, I can start my workout whenever I feel like it. And when I'm done, I'm shower in my own shower and I don't have to travel home. I'm also not one for groups, so I prefer to workout alone.

    My complex has a gym and I went through a phase where I use the cardio machines there. After a couple of months, I could not motivate myself to go do it because coming home from work and then having to change and go back out to workout got old, even though the gym was a 60 second walk from my front door.

    I have all kinds of exercise tapes and DVDs from oldies like Denise Austin, Step Reebok, and Bodyshaping to current workouts like Turbo Fire/Jam and Brazil Butt Lift. I am currently doing Supreme 90. I am on day 11 and seeing results already.

    I work out at home only. P90X, Slim in 6, Turbo Fire, and just ordered Brazilian Butt Lift. So far P90X is my favorite. I get bored. Instead of doing a program I use a combination of them all. I do whatever I am in the mood to do. Most days I miss Tony so I tend to do a lot more P90X.

    Chalean Extreme
    Insanity the Asylum
    Les mills Pump

    I hate the gym. I've had several memberships at different places. HATE the social aspect of it. Your there to work your *kitten* off literally and some jackwagon is trying to chat it up with you, ugh

    I also get bored quickly so running on a treadmill is so boring to me. I'd rather set my feet on fire. I could continue but I'd just sound like a complete hater.

    My point is...you can get your sweat on at home and get the same results as the gym .

    That's all I do! I have done most of the Beachbody workouts, TurboFire is my favorite! If you become a coach you get a 25% discount, so it doesn't tug on the wallet too much. If you would like more information, just message me and we can chat :-)

    I do C25k and random stuff at home right now.

    I tried the 30 day shred and couldn't walk for 5 days. SERIOUSLY COULD NOT WALK!! It was awful. I'm afraid to try it again.

    We have a small home gym weight thing, I need to find the info for it online so Ic an use it better.

    I'd love to get a Total Gym.

    There is a 24 Hr fitness here in town but I'm afraid to go there with my fat self.

    I use the treadmill, I have a Kinect (lot's of good active games), I have some Pilates workout tapes that are great.

    One thing I have found is that there is a large variety of fitness workouts available on Cable OnDemand, gives you a chance to try something out before you buy a DVD or attend a class.

    Youtube also has a good variety of workouts although most tend to be shorter versions.

    I am a stay at home mother on a budget=) lol So I do my workouts at home, videos and walking/jogging. Anyone else share the same workouts and getting progress? I have currently lost 38lbs by doing this=)

    Jackie Warner has a great circuit workout on youtube. Power circuit training. You'll just need a mat and a few free weights. I did it again today and love it! First time I could barely get thru and now can do all 40 minutes.

    I agree. Jillian michaels dvd's. She does a good mix of cardio and strength training in minute intervals so by the time you feel the burn she's already on the next one. I also like 20 minute workout and on my less energetic days I do Richard Simmons 'cause it's a workout but fun dancing.
