Can anyone help me plan exercise routine for at home?

Hello,

I am 1lb from my goal weight but unfortunately my body doesn't look how I'd like, too be honest I've not been doing much exercise other than walking.

I'd like to tone up all over and pay particular attention to my thighs.

I have 2 young children and don't have any gyms locally so I'm looking for something I can do in the evenings once the kids are in bed. I have a resistance band but not used it much yet! *Rolls eyes* and I don't like to follow DVDs/Videos I find I get bored with them as it is the same thing over and over.

Does anyone have any ideas? I sorta know what I can be doing as in squats, lunges, push-ups, crunches etc but what I don't know is the amount/frequency, sets/reps?? How often should I do this sort of exercise, daily or a few times a week?

Thanks

If you go on YouTube there are lots of different types of exercise routines, you could do a different one every day for a month there's that many.

I use an app called tabata training assistant, for home workouts. It's intense interval training, doesn't take too long and it has lots of different workouts for all levels and whatever area you want to focus on. For example I'm doing an abs workout this morning with 8 different types of stomach exercises. You work as hard as you can for 20seconds and rest for 10 and repeat for 8 cycles its surprisingly hard.

as you need to 'tone' rather than lose any weight, concentrate on strength/resistance training. you can do it every other day if you do a full body workout, or alternate upper and lower. rest is important for building/repairing muscle.
