What do you usually do? Are there any sites or DVDs you prefer to use when you workout? I usually stick to fitnessblender.com and yoga videos I get On Demand. But, I'd like to have more of a variety of choices.

    I just started Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred. I've seen people report AMAZING results just from one 30 day cycle of it. I'd highly recommend it - it's very inexpensive (and... psst..... it's all up on Youtube). I'm only 2 days in and can already feel the difference. It's short (25ish min) and kind of repetitive, but gets results.

    I also do 30 Day Shred, which is a great program. I also have an elliptical, weights,jumpr rope, exercise ball, Zumba for the Wii, amongst other odds and ends. While I don't use everything everyday or every week, it is nice to have a variety. The best for me though is lacing up those tennis shoes and heading outside. I am on Week 6 of C25K and I couldn't imagine not being a runner.

    I started with 30 Day Shred and now I walk/jog on my treadmill while watching old seasons of The Biggest Loser - I intersperse that with crunches and pushups.
    Good luck!

    I also use Jillian Michaels. I just got done with Ripped in 30 and am not moving on to her shred and shed (3x's a week) . I also have a treadmill that I run, intervals and do sprints (2-3 days a week). It is possible to lose weight at home. I just got a treadmill a few months ago. Although it has helped me get close to my goal weight it is not detrimental to losing weight and getting healthy! Good luck girl. I would find something that you love and stick with it!!! Have a great night! ~Corina

    I have a few workout DVD's for when I'm stuck working out at home. I have 30DS, and a couple by Bob Harper that are TOUGH. And they're pretty cheap too, at Target or Amazon. I've tried some on Netflix that I didn't care for. I'd like to try some of the Beachbody workouts, but they're pricey. I'll probably get one for this winter.

    Otherwise, you can find a lot of circut type training workouts online, like doing jumping jacks, push ups, jog in place, etc. that would be a decent workout if you did it long enough.

    I do kettlebells and I use this site: http://livefitrevolution.org/ It's free but requires a signup.

    Kettlebells have been the first exercise I even remotely enjoyed.

    I've done P90x in the past. I have a nicely equipped, although small, home gym. Rubber hex dumbbells, a bench, squat/bench rack, suspension straps, and a neck thing that looks like an S&M device.

    Mostly strength training with short (30-60 second) rests nowadays. I hear the "on demand" channels have some great workouts.

    I'm a big fan of running, been doing it for the better part of 25+ years and it's always worked for me....this year I've done 1-full marathon, 2-half-marathons, 2-8ks, and the Warrior Dash. I weigh pretty much what I weighed in high school. Having said that, I also do any Jillian Michael's DVD....been through 30 Day Shred, Ripped In 30, and currently doing 6 Week 6 Pack now. My go to exercise though is running....do C25K if you haven't and set goals to run a race....it's a high only runners know.
