    Only working out at home. Exercise bike, rowing machine, free weights. Gym's intimadate me, so with the money I do not spend in a gym, I can buy equipment for my exercise room in the basement.

    I workout exclusively from home. I can't afford a gym membership right now and plus I would probably rarely go because I would be too lazy to drive there.

    When I first started my weight loss i workout at a gym but was only taking classes and over 6 months had only lost about 10 pounds. The cost of the gym got to be to much so i cancelled my membership and my mom ordered me Turbo Fire and i workout at home doing that an in 3 months lost 23lbs. Now i know that working out at home is ok. I do my dvd workouts in the morning and run with a running group outside a couple of times a week.But its still a little hard to make myself get up sometimes to go into the living room but much easier than having to leave the house in the cold.

    My gym membership just expired, although I still have some trainer sessions left, and decided not to renew. I took the money it would cost to renew and added a little more and made a home gym. I love it! I don't have to wait to do my lifts, its quiet, and Its germ free!

    Me too! I walk (alot) while pushing a double stroller with 2 kids in it. Also do a ton of DVD's -Biggest Loser Power Sculpt and Kathy Smith Lift Weights to lose weight are what I'm currently doing.

    Probably will never join a gym, need to workout out when little ones are napping and can't justify the cost.

    I only work out at home, I do not like the gym or group fitness and in the time it would take me to drive to and from there I can have half my workout at home done :-)

    You do not even need tons of space to workout, we have a small apartment in the city and I workout in between bedroom and living room :-)

    I do Yoga mostly, but in the past I have done tons of workout DVDs:
    30 day shred
    Billy Blanks Bootcamp etc...
    Or exercise TV.

    And I do a lot of walking outside with the pup, so I get lots of fresh air :-)

    The only thing I go to the gym for is to use their lap pool. Everything else I do from home. I'm fortunate enough though to have a universal gym that the previous owner of our house didn't feel like moving, plus a treadmill, and an indoor trainer for my road bike.

    I do have a treadmill at home, but like to go for walks with my husband and son. Playing in the yard with the kids burns calories too. For weights I have a few 5 or 8 pound hand weights that I use and then do knee lifts, side steps, jumping jacks and I have a little step stool that I will step on and do a knee lift when I get up there. Burns tons of calories! Good luck.

    Yes, I only workout at home doing Jazzerice DVD's, riding a recumbant bike and walking. I also golf when I can which obviously isn't at home... :happy:

    I'm only able to work out from home. I'm gone 12 hours a day for work and I'm a single mother of a 3 year old. So going to the gym just isn't an option for me. I did break down and buy an elliptical and I do use that a lot. I also bought Zumba for the Wii (but I have yet to try that out!). Going to the gym would definitely speed up my progress but I just have to make due with what I have!

    I only workout at home as well due to the high costs of a gym or other exercise class membership. I bought some Jillian Michaels DVD's which cost $7 each so it's much cheaper than a gym membership. I find her workouts have enough variety that I don't get bored working out at home. And I like the convenience of being able to work out whenever I have time as opposed to trying to make it to an exercise class at certain times of the day. I've actually seen better results from my home workout than I have from any exercise class I've ever done!

    I work out at home. I have Leslie Sanson dvds that I use with the walk away belt and the 2 lb weight balls. I also have a treadmill and a exercise bike. I recently got a set of the kettle-bells. I am going to start those also. i saw some workouts on Pinterest. I live in a small town and a gym is to far away. This way I can exercise when I want to.

    I live in an apartment building and go for 45 minute power walks around my neighbourhood. Well I was, until we got hit with some -17 degree (Celsius) weather this week! So i have brought my workout indoors and power walk up and down every floor in my building. I do the entire building 3 times (times 9 floors) which equals a 30 minute workout plus stair climbing. I also carry a 3LB weight in each hand. It is a great workout, gets my heart rate up and it's super easy to just get out of bed and open the door to workout!
