    I work out at home, too. I have a variety of cardio and strength training DVDs, weights, bands, and a jump rope. I did a boot camp for a month (groupon), but the others in the group were 15-20 years younger than me. I don't want the expense of a gym. Eventually, I would like to have a trainer to help me with my strength training, but like the gym membership, can't add the expense right now.

    Definitely love working out at home. I do have a treadmill which I use a few days a week, workout vids, 2 sets of free weights and used to jump rope. TONS of free workouts on youtube leaves me never bored. I do cardio, cardio with strength 2 days a week, and yoga stretching every day with Denise Austin. Harvey Pasternak 5 factor fitness is a great book for home workouts as is Body For LIfe which also has the whole plan free online. Good luck and I think that whatever makes you want to get up and move is the best thing to look for :) I have also found that the public libraries have a lot of workout DVDs and health/fitness books, so you could get some ideas for free that way as well.

    I workout at home too. I do Wii Fit and the Just Dance series on the Wii and Your Shape: Fitness evolved 2012 and Dance Central on the Xbox 360 with kinect.
    I also try and go walking or cycling on the weekends if the weather isn't too bad.
    Having to fork out money for gym memberships isn't appealing to me. I have the world on my doorstep so why would I want to be stuck on a treadmill in a gym. It just isn't for me!

    My wife hated the gym but not I got her turbofire she's managed to do it every day for nearly a month bar 1 yoga workout.

    Myself I love working out at home and saving wasting time with a commute. I still go to a couple of classes at the gym just for variety.

    Would recommend www.dailyhiit.com or Insanity/Turbofire for home workouts
