I'm a runner mainly, but I also do videos in my home gym. I've done Insanity and George St. Pierre's RushFit and now have been doing the Cathe Freidrich's Muscle Max, which is resistance training.

Fitocracy and the challenges available and a community a lot more forgiving and affirming.

HAHA, that's because it's full of gamers. I haven't been that active lately, mostly because I'm pregnant and most of the goals and challenges are not geared towards that. I will be jumping back on as soon as I'm able after this pregnancy is over.

Youtube is a great place for videoes if you don't want to go buy alot of DVD's. I have a Wii and love most of the fitness games on it. My favorite was EA Active Sports 2, but it has a tendency to glitch. But, it was also a great workout. This game is available on the PS3 as well.

I bought The Women's Health Big Book of Exercises. It's great for finding new ideas of things to do. I put the exercises on flash cards and pick things to do. It keeps my routine fresh.

Right now, though, my go to exercise is walking. I don't do it daily, but I try to.

I have a bunch of Jillian Michaels, Bob Harper, and Jackie Warner DVDs. Right now, I'm doing JM's Body Revolution, and I'm going to do Insanity after that.

I have a treadmill and some weights, and I make up my own routines from different websites. Martial Arts is also a supplement to my home workouts, but i'm considering getting Tapout XT and incorporating that as well.

I finished 30 DS here are my results it is a gr8 program. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/paruls86/view/30-day-shred-results-431398
I am starting with tapout XT soon

What do you usually do? Are there any sites or DVDs you prefer to use when you workout? I usually stick to fitnessblender.com and yoga videos I get On Demand. But, I'd like to have more of a variety of choices.

I do Tabata and HIIT training in circuits, works well for me

I started with EA Active Sports 2 on the Playstation, which is pretty much like any of the circuit training dvds, except your virtual fitness trainer will yell at you if you don't do the exercise or don't do it right.

Now, I run outside and lift weights inside, currently following stronglifts.

My first, foremost and most regular exercise committment is traditional Okinawan karate. I've been at it for 3 years and finally earned my black belt in June, that keeps me on my toes for sure. I have Pauline Nordin's Butt Bible, 6 different workouts, split between upper and lower body, 30 Day Shred, Tae Bo which I am just not coordinated enough for, a balance ball, a ton of dumbbells, up to 15lb, a 12lb medicine ball, great for russian twists, and a weight bench/gym setup for bench press, squats leg press, etc. I also have a treadmill, and a bike trainer for my rodie, depending on the weather, but I prefer to be outside. My rodie is brand new to me, and it's not snowing yet, so I'll be on that till I can't ride outside anymore then I'll move it in with the trainer, and some great podcasts. I have exercise ADD, i can't always be doing the same thing day-in and day-out...

I also went through C25K which was an AWESOME program. My podcasts were from Runningintoshape.com

Enjoy!

I did one round of 30 Day Shred and loved it. I lost 7lbs and one jeans size. I'm considering going for another round. I also have a punching bag that I try and work with a couple times a week (though I need to build up my endurance...I'm beat after about 10 minutes), a jump rope, 5 lb hand weights (which really don't challenge me anymore, but I can't afford to buy new ones) and an 8 lb medicine ball. I use an app on my phone called Skimble (I highly recommend!!) which has hundreds of workouts ranging from 2 minutes fitness tests to hour long workouts. I pick random ones a couple times a week and complete those, they definitely get me sweating! I also have Comcast so I use the On Demand channel if I really am bored and want something different, but I find it hard to concentrate as some of them move really slowly. This week I'm starting a "No Cheat Week" posted from a friend on Instagram, and with that I'm going to try to alternate one day on my elliptical and one day jogging outside. I can't do the elliptical every night because it kills my legs!

Anyways, this is just one of the many examples posted by others that you do not need a gym membership to lose weight!! I've lost 36 lbs without stepping foot in a gym! :-)
