I am a single mother who works a full-time job outside the home and a part-time job inside the home with a 3 yr old. I can't really afford to pay for gym membership, and barely have time to relax... So any ideas of some at home exercises that I can do would be great.... PLEASE HELP

    You could always try various workout DVDs! That's what I'm going to start doing :)

    Hi there! I feel your pain. It's really hard to work out at home. There are a ton of great workout DVDs out there, and all you need for them is hand weights! I'd look on amazon.com for stuff that's affordable. I have some of the Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper DVDs and really like them... they're tough workouts but you can modify them to whatever level you're at. I'd also do a quick google search for "home workouts" or something like that. I bet a lot of websites have great info :) hope that helps!

    My husband recently bought me 3 Mega Miles by Sansone and I love it. It's easy and faster than it seems to take, which is about 44mins. I also have Jillian Micheals 30 day shred, but I found that too difficult on my knees and shins. I decided to try it again after 30 to 50lb loss, hopefully I get there soon enough. :) Good luck! Oh, I walk back and forth throughout my living room while listening to music.

    Are you on Pinterest? There's a lot of quick little workouts you can do w/ no weights at all. Like for instance, one set might look like this: 20 jumping jacks, 5 pushups, 5 squats, 15 situps, 5 pushups, 5 squats, 5 lunges, 1 minute wall sit....etc etc etc. I usually make a list of about 8-12 things. I have some dumbells at home so I do add some bicep curls, shoulder stuff etc, but I do each "list" 3x!! Usually takes me no longer than 20 minutes and I'm sweating my *kitten* off! Just a thought. Videos are okay, but they get boring. I like how I can mix it up everyday, and my son (6) loves to bark out the orders of what's next on my list. Like a mini drill sergeant! ha.

    I love leslie sansone! She does 'walk at home' if you go on utube and put her name in the search bar loads come up from 1 mile walks (15 mins) to 5 mile walks :) . Because its u tube its free so you can do a couple of different ones a few times a week x
