Workout videos at home

I prefer to go to the gym, but I know quite a few folks who've gotten really good results at home doing P90X, Insanity, 30 Day Shred, Chalean Extreme -- you name it. The most important thing is not WHERE you do it but THAT you do it! If you're motivated, committed and consistent, you can get great results at home using videos.

Ive lost 55 lbs in Months doing Turbo Fire at home

I lost every pound by doing just what you said. I log my food, work out 30-45 minutes M-F using videos and walking. I cycle between circuit training (started with 3 lb dumbbells, currently using 10 lb dumbbells), walking and kickboxing. I hit my goal and I am still losing, slowly. I like TaeBo, Leslie Sansone and Kelly Coffey-Meyer or Jillian Michaels.

I workout mostly at home. I usually do my workouts first thing in the morning before heading to work. I have almost 20 videos in my library I like to mix it up. I started mostly with the Biggest Loser Power Walk and The extreme makeover weight loss workout. I have done several Jillian titles and currently doing power 90. They all will give results as long as you do them. I usually get my videos through college because I can return then. There are several free ones you can find on YouTube.

I have lost 32lbs. since November just by counting calories and working out at home. I may think about joining the gym later to build more muscle mass but right now working out at home is working pretty well for me.

I do turbofire at home every morning for the past almost 2 months and I have lost 13.4lbs in that time. I have heard great things about insanity and chalean extreme...but i love turbo fire!!

I only work out at home as well. I have done Turbo Jam, Zumba, Turbo Fire, Brazil Butt Lift and am currently doing Les Mills Combat.

I have done both working out at home and going to the gym. I have had more success with working out at home. I think the reason is that I can do my workout right as soon as I wake up (practically before I'm fully awake, so it's like I'm not even doing it!). I have two kids (age 4 and ), so I get them breakfast, and they watch tv while I work out. It works the best for me. I like doing 30 day shred. Level one is free on youtube, not sure about the other levels...I haven't done those yet. I have the 3 mile walk for Leslie Sansone, but I did her 2 mile the other day from youtube (I used to have 1 and 2 on dvd, but I loaned them to a friend...). My favorite workouts are the Transfirmer ones from a few years ago. I really like step aerobics. I want to train for some running events (a 5K, 8 mile race, then a half marathon), but I will have to wait until my kids are asleep and my husband can watch them to run (can't run in the house because I don't have a treadmill)...

I hope that helps some! Eating is the biggest thing though. Proper nutrition is like 90%. I read a quote somewhere on facebook that said something like 90% of proper health is nutrition because you can't outrun your fork. That stuck with me. You can un-do all of your workout efforts with a couple slices of cake or several handfuls of nuts or even a big plate of pasta! I think both nutrition and exercise need to be aligned for best results though! Oh, and I've lost 80 pounds total. I struggle with maintenance, but I think this time that I'm 'in it to win it'!

30 Day Shred and Fitnessblender.com are godsends.. free, available on Youtube and didn't require a gym membership. I ended up getting one though after these two rejuvenated my love for health and fitness.

I haven't lost any weight going to the gym, all from home. I have done 30 Day Shred, I am doing Turbo Fire right now, I also use http://www.fitnessblender.com/

I dropped 3 dress sizes doing the following videos:
Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred
Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30
Biggest Loser - Weightloss Yoga
Biggest Loser - Cardio Max
Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown
Jillian Michaels Burn Fat Boost Metabolism.

All amazing DVDs but my favourite 2 are 30DS as it's great for beginners and advanced and Burn Fat Boost Metabolism as it transformed my body so much in the last month or so and got me over a plateau.

I cannot afford a gym membership so I workout only at home and count calories/log food intake. I have the 30 Day Shred (also available for free on YouTube)...I also walk when I can..I play Just Dance with my kids on the Wii..and I do have a treadmill which is nice since our weather here is so unpredictable. I have lost 31lbs in 50 days.

I haven't had a gym membership since my mid 20's! I do everything at home, or out running. First starting out I got some of the Biggest Loser dvds (Cardio Max, and Power Sculpt were the 2 I had), Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred, even a 90's Step aerobics VHS that I 'yoinked' from my mom. :laugh:
You can absolutely lose weight successfully at home. Once I started getting more fit, I amped up the work outs by starting to run, and I bit the bullet and bought Insanity. LOVE INSANITY!! I added Turbo Fire to my collection at Christmas, and I really want Les Mills Combat. I've tried a couple Tae Bo dvds a friend lent me, too. I bought a treadmill off of Craigslist... but it's since died, so as soon as I save up, I'll be buying a new one! :happy: The running has become a recent obsession, as well. I'm addicted to races, mud run obstacle course events... and the "bling" at the end!
I'm pretty sure you can find things on Netflix, Hulu, or Youtube, as well. You'll do great!

I don't have gym membership so was relying on home DVDs - started with 30 day shred which was great BUT I dont think she includes enough warm up or cool down exercises. after 10 days of the workouts both my feet are now crocked so can't do any impact exercise at all - even walking hurts at the moment. My sister had the same experience (except she got calf pain not feet). So I would recommend DVDs but when I can get back to them I am going to do extra warm up and - especially - cool down stretches
