hey guys! i am hoping to get some information on some good exercises that I can do at home since I don't have a gym membership right now and no equipment. I know some basic exercises like obvoiusly running/jogging, walking, jumping jacks, sit ups, etc...but I am trying to find some new ones. I am also wondering how many sets, for example 3 sets of 15 jumping jacks? So far I have mostly been just walking. I am so out of shape that cardio is really hard for me, but I want to get better! So I am trying to incorporate more cardio into my day. Also, exercises that work for toning areas would be awesome as well!

    Check out "aworkoutroutine.com" and "scoobysworkshop.com". They both offer great advice and some great at-home workout plans. Good luck!

    Check out fit chicks blog.. The blog writer is AMAZING and she has a ton of great workouts! Tummy Tuck and Booty Builder are two of my favorites, and they are both doable at home with no equipment... :-)

    Hi, good for you. i think walking is one of the best, i don't have gym membership either, i do have a treadmill, which i only use when the weather is nasty. otherwise i walk outside. i also invested in a set of 5lb weights, an 8 lb weight ball, a yoga mat, a jump rope, ( which i haven't got very good at yet, so rarely use it, lol. i also bought a hoola hoop, again that rarely use, but plan on after i lose some moer weight. every sunday i write up a exercise plan for the week. i subscribed to a couple of magazines that have exercise in them w/ pics! They are Self & Fitness magazines. so i do 5 days a week or try to of abdominal exercises, 5 days of week of toning exercises, i walk 5 days a week also for an hour per day. i do some light yoga for beginners once a week, in addition i try to add at least 1 aerobic activity to my walking each week, such as dancing at home, playing soccer or frizbee w/ my grandson. i i do a little kickboxing, boxing, & trying some belly dancing moves i found i 1 of my magazines. High kicks help too, just stand with one of your hands straight out in front of you & kick up with your feet to touch your hand, rotate legs. i'm up to 60 kicks a day now. can feel it work my abs some. anyway, didn't mean to get long winded, hope this helps. blessings.

    Fit Chicks Blog.. here's a link to the Tummy Tuck workout :-)

    http://fitchicks-fitchicks.blogspot.com/2011/09/tummy-tuck.html

    I kind of stumble along the blog for workouts, but they are GREAT. A lot of HIIT style stuff that packs a lot of bang for the buck..

    Does the 30 day shred require equipment like dumbells or anything?
