    Your Shape: FE 2012
    EA Sports Active 2.0
    Dance Central 2

    My husband is also thinking about buying a weight bench. Which I will use if he decides to buy it.

    Leslie Sansones walk at home dvd's work well for me. You can walk 1 mile in 15 mins or continue and walk 2,3,4,or 5 miles if you like.

    I am currently doing Insanity at home - I also belong to an online accountability group to help keep me motivated and supported. There is another group starting up in May if you are interested let me know.

    Find something you enjoy doing. I always hated exercise . .... I signed up for Netflix (by mail) and got a new workout DVD every week. Now I have a core group of exercise videos that I enjoy doing.

    Your local library will have videos too.

    For cardio I like Leslie Sansone Walk at Home .... the "Walk" in the title is just a way of saying different moves but, no choreography (I have 2 left feet). Examples ....

    For strength training I like Kelly Coffey Meyer ...... http://www.collagevideo.com/workout-video/kelly-coffeys-30-min-to-fitness-start-here-6097

    The video above has a little of everything.

    I'm doing TurboFire at home and I love it! It's the only at-home workout I've found that I look forward to doing :)

    Yes....russian kettlebell swing with RKC instructor Tracy Reifkind. I use her Give and take DVD but really, once you know it you can go it without a DVD. It is such a huge calorie burner and strength training all in one.....It will rock your socks off!

    My favorite videos' in order:

    1. Body Beast (using it to cut, not bulk)
    2. P90X2
    3. Chalean Extreme
    4. Les Mills Combat
    5. P90X
    6. Tapout XT
    7. Insanity

    The best tip, do a program that involves heavy weight training. While endurance training is nice, I see much better results with programs that limit reps and increase weight.

    I am a huge fan of workout dvds.. They are cheaper than a gym subscription and there is no worry about feeling self conscious in front of others..

    I usually buy a new dvd every 1/2 months as you can get bored of the same stuff. I have about 7 dvds, which I try to rotate to get different workouts.

    I have pilates, dance, aerobics, interval, fat burning dvds and general toning ones.

    There is also loads of clips on youtube. POP pilates have some good clips on there. Try them for toning legs and hips etc..


    I usually do a workout 3/4 times a week.

    :)

    Sometimes if I just need to burn <100 Calories to make my numbers for the day come out right, I'll pace up and down through the house. Kind of like a treadmill - without.

    I find a lot of workouts on the health & fitness section on pinterest. Haha. It's a lot of push up/squat/etc. routines. I don't have the attention span for workout videos or anything like that.

    I just entered my 12th week of DDP Yoga. It's been a life saver (only a mild exaggeration here).

    Jillian Michaels workout DVDs! I have a couple others as well, but I keep coming back to hers. The only equipment I have is a set of handweights, a yoga mat, and a resistance band.
