    For those who are in 30DS levels 1 and 2 or haven't started yet... Yes it's on YouTube but level 3 skips in the middle of several exercises (planned maybe to get us to buy them? lol).

    That being said.. I did 30DS in Sept. I am working with Banish Fat Boost Metabolism and No More Trouble Zones for Oct. In Nov I am going back to 30DS.. in Dec? I am not sure yet.. Yoga Meltdown maybe, or Ripped in 30. Shed and Shred is another good option. All are Jillian's DVDs and inexpensive. All I have in my "home gym" so far is a thick yoga mat (concrete basement floors) and a handweight set of 3, 5 & 8 lb weights. I just can't afford the $150+ price tag for some of the "big" workout dvd's yet. Maybe next year...

    Look up "Blogilates" on YouTube. She has pilates and cardio videos that are great and usually very home or apartment friendly.

    The very first workout I did when I set out to lose weight a couple years ago was the 30 day shred. I've since committed to a gym membership, but I still use the yoga videos available on netflix when I don't want to go out.


    Some great resources:

    Blogilates.com (strength, stretching and cardio videos for free!)
    Hulu (has an exercise channel. You can link to it through any DVR or video game system)
    Netflix (tons of videos online)
    Your friends! (everyone has a video or two they don't use anymore)

    I do cardio DVDs and follow the "new rules of lifting for women" program. When i've finished new rules I plan on starting a 5 day split lifting routine. For the DVDs I mostly do turbojam, tapout xt and insanity, but also do turbofire, rockin body, zumba and ministry of sound workouts.

    I have a stationary bike, a treadmill a weight machine and various free weights. I like to mix it up and do all sorts of different things. I also take a pole dance class once a week and do several strength and stretching exercises with the pole. I think I am not a usual home fitness person as I am lucky to have a lot of tools that I have gathered over the years.

    Oh, and I love to walk my dogs in the evening!

    I am in the middle of Insanity, which has been absolutely amazing so far. If my knees are alright with it, I would love to just make it my regular workout.

    LOL.

    True. I do a combination of 3DS Level 1, Yoga Meltdown and walking with Leslie Sansone.

    I really love Jillian, but sometimes I just need her to shut it. I've heard the "motivational" speech on 3DS so much, I can say it while she's saying it. :-D

    I have Insanity, P90x, Punching bag, and some free weights. I'll either do a DVD workout, some kind of interval training or sometimes just lift.

    I started to do Insanity at home which is convenient for me because sometimes I can work out at 6pm when I get home and sometimes I have late workouts like 9 or 10 pm... It's a intense cardio workout, but you feel great after you start seeing results.:wink:
