Workout videos at home

Who has time for the gym??? I love me some p90x and insanity. In a couple months I gonna try bodybeast

When I first started making a commitment to get healthy and fit, home workouts worked best for me. As I wanted to further improve my goal using equipment I don't have, I ventured outside of the home. I find time atleast 4x a week to go the gym now and I am a freelancer and stay at home mom. It's all about your desire to get the results you want and finding ways to make it work. I understand the need though for many to workout at home and that sometimes it's hard to do that. Here are my results from January, overtime til a couple of days ago. Videos I have done range from Fitnessblender.com videos, 30DS/RI30 to Bob Harper workouts. The YMCA is nearby so some of my results also include time that I spent doing 30 minute fitness classes, strength training so I hope y'all don't mind.

Day 8:


Day 83 (two days ago):

I have had really nice results from doing only at home Jillian Michaels's workouts. I started with 73kgs and am now at 66kgs. This is my weight loss since July 2012 until now, being my ultimate GW 56kgs. I try to exercise 2x a day and I eat majorly healthy food but have a cheat day where I eat something that may not be too great for me.

I have lost a total of 95lbs and have only been to a real gym twice. I workout at home. I do have weights in my garage. Half of my weight loss came from my elliptical and treadmill. As of a year ago, they are long gone. I run, lift weights, create my own circuits, run bleachers, do Tae Bo, Jillian Michaels videos and I am currently 1/3 of the way finished with Insanity. I have 4 kids and the gym is 40 minute round trip so I just get creative with my home workouts.....and yes, for the most part I watch what I eat.

I have lost 38 pounds total in a year. I didn't start working out until recently. I had to get down to a weight were I could actually get my butt off the couch and find the motivation. Anyway, I lost most of it with ONLY watching what I ate. Now I am working out at least 4 times a day. It is only 20 minutes right now but eventually I will add more. I am doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.

I've lost all my weight (over 40lbs in 7 months) with Jillian Michaels and Leslie Sansone in my living room while watching what I eat

You look great! Congratulations!

You look fabulous! Love the muscle!

I work out exclusively at home, with dumbbells on lifting days, and with videos or a run outside on cardio days.

I have 2 kids, and the closest gym to my house is 30 min so that's an hour of my day that I can't get back. So I work out solely at home, right now I'm on month 2 of Insanity and have lost a couple of lbs but I see my progress in my measurements more than anything......It is possible to workout at home and loose weight.

I have slowly advanced myself..I am one of those people that if it hurts too much, I am not going to do it...lol (creature of comfort). I started with Leslie Sansone as I haven't actually worked out in forever. Now I am working on Biggest Loser Cardio Max (Week One) and have 30-Day Shred waiting in the wings for when I finish Cardio Max. I can't afford the gym and with my work schedule, I wouldn't go because my schedule changes every day. The one thing I found helpful is to get a couple of different DVD's or change your exercise up when you can so you don't get bored and I personally think I lose weight better when I don't do the same things day after day (might just be because I am more apt to keep exercising when I do different things). I also ride bike when the weather gets nice and I am going to start C25K in early May (hoping the snow will have gone away by then and I can get outside to do the program). I think the best thing is to just do SOMETHING to get moving. You can lose weight doing nothing, but you look and feel better doing some sort of exercise. Good luck!

I work afternoon shift and have a 3-year old at home with me all day. I can't go to the gym, so I workout at home. I love the Wii sports active games. I am currently doing an 8 week workout challenge called 'the Biggest Loser Challenge' on the wii and Gold's gym cardio workout along with jillian michael's 30 day shred and jillian michael's Kickbox fastfix. The only exercise equipment I use are 3&5 lb weights and resistance bands. It's all I need!

I am have been working out regularly for the past 33 years. I am currently 56 years old, 5’10” and 135pds. I have used many methods of working out to keep in shape. When I get bored with one I will switch to something else. I went from working out in a gym to working out in my basement for 4 years after I had our first son. I used a Nordic track ski machine and I would swear by that. I dropped all the weight I gained while pregnant and then some. I also started running which I had never done before and that too can put in amazing shape. You don’t have to start off becoming a marathon runner just start out slow and work your way up. It is a great way to lose weight and enjoy the outdoors at the same time. The last three years I went back to a gym which just changed hands and I am not real pleased with the new owners so I purchased the workout program Insanity and have been doing that at home for the past 6 weeks. It is hard but do what you can and work your way up. I can already see great results in my abs, legs and gluts. Good luck stay focused and you will see results.

I love using The Firm workouts because they have a combination of cardio with strength training. Also I use my treadmill. The way to find out what types of workouts you would like that won't cost you any money is look into the workout videos at your local library.Maybe try out some of the videos that people are recommending. Good luck on this weight loss journey ! :bigsmile:
