Anyone else only working out at home ONLY

@KarenJanine we have the same profile picture! Love Grumpy Cat!!

I just had my lumbar spine fused so I go to physical therapy 2x week. I work out at home using resistance bands to burn fat and build muscle and I use a exercise ball. I also walk, if its frozen out I do it in the living room because I cannot fall down, using the Walk at home 1 mile video by Leslie Sansone on youtube. Its just walking in place, side steps, knee raises and little kicks. Really a awesome lower body workout! If you have stairs walk up and down them for a great burn too. You can do it all at home without spending any money!

Time is so precious these days. Wouldn't it be great if we could integrate exercise sustainably into our regular day?

Somewhere along the way going to the Gym became "a chore" for me. I found that I was away all day at work then away most evenings at my "other job": the gym, plus the travel time. I wanted to be available to friends and family while exercising and I didn't want it to take up soo much of my time.

So I don't do that way any more.

First I manage my input calories better so that I don't have to spend as long working-out to achieve the required burn.

When I exercise, the focus is on fun and socialising while doing it. I like to mix it up. I walk/run or ride a bike (while chit-chatting!) around my neighbourhood with others. In the morning I try to conscript others in the house to join in. I use a set of exercise DVDs by Gunnar Peterson for strengthening using a fitball, hand weights; a skipping rope with a built-in counter and a medicine ball. For in front of TV I use the fitball, a mini stair master, and a rowing machine (and headphones - so that I can hear the dialogue!). For fun in summer I kiteboard on the water, in the winter, snowboarding when I can get it, and I play football with the gals. (Hmm, there's a thought, the council has just repaved along the park, might have to dig out my rollerblades!)

The other morning I was just commenting about the travel time & fuel saved, which is such a blessing. We had just finished our workout by the time I would have reached the Gym ! :happy:

I gotta bunch of free weights and punching things jump rope tread mill.

I am just getting started tracking my foods and exercise. I enjoy dancing and I have found some Zumba videos on you tube and I either do them or I use the Zumba moves to the radio and do a fast pace. I do this by myself and I do 15 minutes increments.

I walk about 20-30 minutes during my lunch break at work... and I am active on the weekends... the gym... nah... not ready for all that!

I've been working out at home for 4 years now. A gym membership is not within my budget and no time with my kiddos activities. I started with the lovely LS Walk at home, then started running outside. I've completed JM RI30 and Body Revolution. I'm about to start week 5 of Insanity. I'm near goal weight and my big congrats to me is going to be an elliptical. Best of luck on your lifestyle journey.

I only work out at home with free weights and resistance bands... have everything all set up in my workshop. Most gyms are not very wheelchair accessible/friendly.... a lot of equipment with little room to maneuver between machines. My setup works well for me and this way, I get to control the temperature in the room.

I too only workout at home. I had joined the gym before, many times and every time I'd do really well and go everyday after work. Then after a few months, the schedule changes and I'm paying for something that I'm not using. I've been working out at home for the last 2 weeks since I started this, and I have to say that I love it! Variety is best, little tae bo, little wii, little zumba, little pilates. That way you're always shocking your system, I think. LOL :laugh:

I work out at home only. I think it's more a social anxiety for me, that's why I don't go to the gym.

I belonged to a gym for years, pretty consistently; I was a regular, always there through the waves of people who start in January every year and then quit around February or March. I would get up at 5am to workout for an hour before work and I just hated it (plus I wasn't paying attention to my eating at the time so it was good for fitness but not for weight loss).

Last summer I started working out at home with Jillian DVDs (30DS, RI30) and kettlebells and I've never felt better. I've cut my workout time in half by no longer needing to commute to/from the gym and have cut the every increasing gym expenses as well (the cost of the DVDs+kettlebells were equivalent to 2 months of gym membership). When the weather warms up I plan to walk and bike and do other non-gym activities. Nothing against the gym-lovers but I'm going to need a pretty compelling reason to go back.

I've lost all of my weight doing at home workout DVDs. I recenetly signed up at a hot yoga studio, but otherwise I still do all of my workouts at home. I've done Jillian Michaels, P90X, Insanity, GSP RushFit, CheLEAN Extreme, and TurboFire.

I work out at home! 3 DVDs Billy Banks:Boot Camp, DWTS: Dance, And Zumba. I just don't have time to go out to the gym. I work full time, I am a wife and I am a mom. I like to do a different DVD every time.

Home Have a variety of workout Dvd's. I am more active outside in the summer and hike almost every day. Don't want to deal with busy gyms and lines for equipment..
