Hey, I'm just wondering if anyone has a routine/dvd/anything that will help target fat loss, help lose inches and build up my strength at home?
I want to tone up desperately. I'm 3lb away from my pre-pregnancy weight and look nothing like I used too....not even close!

I love both Nerdfitness and Bodyrock.
Nerdfitness is probably a little less intimidating, as it is difficult to find beginners, full body workouts at Bodyrock, so I suggest to start with Nerdifitnees.

I've tried the 30 day shred and just couldn't stick to it, I found it boring and repetitive. Plus it was on my laptop which annoys me, I kept having to move my laptop to the fire then the floor etc, but thank you0

First place I'd start is with starting strength or strong lifts, but you have to have the equipment, which not everyone does at home. Still worth looking into.
Next, would be New Rules of Lifting. But again, you need equipment.
After that, I'd look into a lot of the above suggestions. Also read up on Convict Conditioning. BenderFitness (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/BenderFitness) is a member on here who puts all her routines on youtube... could be a good place to start from at home workouts with minimal equipment.
If you're willing to do something on your own (as opposed to a "boxed" routine), I'd get a pull-up bar, some resistance bands and start with the basics... pushups, pull-ups, squats, lunges.0 -
Bumping to keep so I can check out some of these sites. Thank you.0

blogilates is a fun and entertaining workout, and you should be able to connect your laptop to your tv.0

Aside from the videos mentioned, don't forget to add the basics like push-ups, pull-ups squats, lunges, deadlifts, dips which you can do anywhere with little to no equipment. Consider buying a resistance band or much better yet invest in a pair of adjustable dumbbells plus some additional plates so you can have something extra when you become stronger and fitter.
Good luck!0 -

Hi, Jillian Michaels 30DS is very good. I have taken some of her moves and incorporated them into my own routine 3 times/week
Here is the url from YouTube for her workouts free! There is always a short commercial when you first start it up. Good Luck. You can find other exercise routines on YouTube as well!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for her site!! I'm yelling because I got so excited for something fresh and new!!0 -
If you want strength gains skip videos that dont use more than 5-10 lb weights. Thats endurance training and not eve optimal for fatloss. Look for program's that use low rep high weight. Chalean extreme, body breast or p90x are good for in home workouts. Strong lift 5x5 is a great program outside of that too.0

As far as DVDs go, I like Kelly Coffey-Meyer. As I am just starting out, I find these challenging with 5 and 10 lb weights. I cycle between Split-Sessions, Circuit Burn and Muscle Definition. I am saving up to hire a presonal trainer and start lifitng heavier.0
