Weight loss without a gym membership

I did it for 1 1/2 years. buy some DVDs, p90x, jillian micheals, and change your eating habbits

There are TONS of workout videos on youtube. If you are just starting exercise, a lot of people have been successful (including myself) in doing Leslie Sansone walking video workouts. She starts you off slowly. It is cardio and core strength. She does 1-5 miles of "walking" which includes side steps, knee lifts, etc., and the more "advanced" videos include light jogging. They burn calories, they get you moving, and get you comfortable with exercising if you haven't done so for a while (myself included).

I started in January and have lost 47 pounds. For the first three months I exclusively did Leslie Sansone videos and it really got me ready for harder stuff like jogging, weight training and zumba.

Good luck!

Walking and biking! In bad weather I use Leslie Sansone n home walking dvd's. sounds silly but they work! Sandra

Running, walking, get a cheap bike off Craig's List, used or online workout DVDs, deck of cards workout, swim laps at a public pool, go hiking, join an adult recreation league soccer team, climb the stadium stairs at your local college - the possibilities are endless.

Or join a gym. If you have a Crunch in your city it costs 10 bucks a month. It's worth it.

I live in a small town with no gym access, besides the fact that I work full time, go to grad school and I am a mom and wife I have lost 60 lbs by logging my food, buying workout videos (I started with jillian michaels, but my faves are jackie warner) I did finally get a treadmill for the winter months, and I started using a c25k app...now I am training for a marathon! It's totally doable! good luck!

I used beachbody Debbie seibbers slim in 6 (only ever used the first work out, start it up tho) I didn't really know how to eat right, so I avoided fast food, soda, candy, ANYTHING with fructose and sucrose corn syrups.

in 6 months, I went from 230 to 204, lost 40 inches, went from pant size 32 to 14. It was hard at first, and usually ended up with me taking 20 minutes worth of breaks for the 30 minute video. and a lot of profanity and screaming at the tv. but slowly, I was able to do it twice a day, then three times.

I still do it, as well as the gym. youtube has a lot of great work out vids too. heres a link to a lady that I love

After a decade of gym memberships, I dropped mine earlier this year and bought a boxed set of Jillian Michael work out DVDs, having tried a few on YouTube.

It broke the plateau I was in and I look & feel better than I ever did having to drag myself into a gym.

It is also cheaper, quicker because the commute is 30 steps from my bedroom, I no longer have to carry a bag of clothes or a towel about and no gross surprises in the showers!

I lost my first 90 pounds strictly from walking, running and lifting higher reps lower weight and body weight. Got a bench and plates/barbell and now run, walk and lift heavy weights low reps. I've never done a workout video, just not for me.

I've lost all 37lbs by running, strength(body weight) exercises and keeping my diet under control.
Also doing things like hiking and what not.
I love it! I havn't really been interested in a gym yet..

I agree with everyone. You have to be your own personal trainer when it comes to working out at home. It's a little harder as there is no one else to motivate you, except you. But as you've read from others, its absolutely possible!

As an Independent Team Beachbody Coach, I use Beachbody's programs like Insanity, Turbo Fire, and ChaLean Extreme. These are all programs you can buy and use at home.. Its awesome.. I weighed 214 in April and now I weigh 177 at a height of 5'7".. A size 17 to a size 10-12.

Try something.. If you don't like it, return it (beachbody has a return policy thats pretty great!). Try another program instead Can't go wrong. There's something for everyone

Good luck! You can do it!
