I bet people post this constantly, but.. home workouts?

I really love the bob harper dvd's it has helped me get toned. I work out at home to and my workouts are with DVD's. Jillian Michaels DVD are good to.

Winter has forced me inside and I have discovered Sportskool workouts on cable's On Demand. It's not the same as getting into the sunshine and fresh air, but there is a pretty wide variety of workouts from yoga to kickboxing that you can do to mix it up and keep you motivated. Hope that helps.

Yes, and she is awesome

I do loads of exercise at home at the moment as I can't get to the gym. I get quite a lot from youtube - all 3 of the 30 day shreds are on there as well as loads of other ones. I also record quite a few workouts from the Fitness TV channel. I also have the P90x. If you have a smart phone there are also workouts like the couch to 5k

If you are starting out, I really recommend Fitness Blender - they talk you through the exercise really well and there is a huge range of levels/abilities. A lot of them are equipment free (but you may find you start building up a wee collection of weights, resistance bands etc)

Another alternative is local classes

I don't know what your starting level is - if you are a beginner, just try a few different things until you find something that suits you - but you don't need a gym to be getting decent calorie burns.

I have dumbbells (8 - 20 lbs), a 10lb medicine ball, my tv, some DVDs, and the Nike Training Club app (free!) for my iPhone. Used to do the DVDs all the time, but have been doing Nike Training Club workouts 3 days a week (mix and match, 15 - 45 minutes each), and running 3 days a week. Just started running at the end of January this year with the c25k program (also free apps). Never been a gym member. :bigsmile: Although I do wish I either had a membership or room for bigger weights at home, because I'm rapidly outgrowing the weights I've got. They get pricey as they get heavier. LOL But I do what I can with what I've got.

Check your library for workout DVDs - mine has quite a few, and what they didn't have at my branch I could request from other branches. Great way to check them out before buying and to get some variety. Otherwise, watch the sales (or check YouTube, som Jillian Michaels workouts can be found there), especially after Christmas, as fitness equipment and DVDs will go on sale everywhere to catch all the New Years resolutions.

What about getting bands? Varied resistance and much less space.
