At home workouts

I workout at home and always have since I started early this year. I invested in gym equipment so everything is at my fingertips and I have no excuses.

I use a treadmill to walk/run/sprint 3 days per week for about 65 minutes and I do free weights (compound lifts) 3 days per week for about 90 minutes. I made up my own program and am not following any specific workout and eating plan.

If you are interested in lifting programs, YouTube is an awesome place to look.

I use Beachbody programs. I've been using them for the past several months, and I've only ever worked out at home since 2009 and have lost 129lbs doing so. :drinker:

I also workout mostly at home , I do have a gym membership but dont use it much. I have a recumbant bike, a step, some weights and a kettlebell, and resistance bands, also a stability ball. I use videos off youtube the 30 day shred, also fitness blender and blogilates is a really good place to start.hope this helps, also I do alot of walking and squats

I did 30 Day Shred last summer. I got to day 7 of level 2 and and had to quit because I blew out my knee. But, with that said, it was definitely working. It was obvious in the 17 days I had put into it.

Also, it is never given the props it should, but walking is an excellent workout. And if you keep upping your pace and add some incline to it, you can also see pretty fast results.

Hope this helps.

Anything by Jillian Michaels. I especially like the 30 day shred and ripped in 30 because they are short workouts that I use when time is at a premium.

Also, get a variety of dumbells. My heaviest set is 15 lb each. I hope to invest in 20s soon. I use these with Jillian, but also I use the Body for Life weight program. (get the book)

I also have an exercise bike, which I hate, but sometimes it is the last resort. It is cheaper than a treadmill.

For cardio, I like to run, bike, and walk, which is not at home, but is home based.

I pretty much do all my workouts either at home, or home based, since I dont have the time to waste driving to and from the gym. That way if I have even 20 or 30 minutes, there are no excuses for not exercising!

Good luck.

P90X, P90X2, and Insanity videos. To cut.
Stronglifts 5x5 for strength gains quickly. Simple and works great!
GVT to build muscles fast! Not for a beginner!!

I started on Wii fitness games and then moved on to workout DVDs. Jillian Michaels is my favorite.

I've been doing pole dancing for the last 2-3 months, but that's it besides the at home workouts I've done.

Absolutely guaranteed to leave you heaving face-down on the floor for the rest of your life.



You can be exceptionally, world-class fit without a bit of equipment, and just a little home equipment makes it even easier. Look at dancers, gymnasts, martial artists, yoga, etc etc.

The key is always intensity! Jog a block, and depending on your fitness level, most normal people will be lightly winded. Sprint that same length and within 40 feet your body will be screaming and you'll only make it to the end of the block by sheer force of will, stumbling like a drunk for the last few feet. At which time, if you honestly sprinted, you will be a sweaty, crumpled mess that will take at least a few minutes to gather together, be incapable of speech for 5 minutes, and sore for 2 days.

Intensity lights a fire under the metabolism, burns way more fat than moderate cardio in a fraction of the time, and builds lots 'o muscle. All it takes is accepting that there will be pain, but that you are worth it.

Insanity sounds interesting. Can anyone fill me in on how long each workout is? With 2 active, involved kids, a job, a house, a husband, a life, etc., I find it hard to get bolcks of time to work out, which is why I started running and have loved Jillian Michaels workouts. But I am looking for something new. . . .

I've been doing insanity and it's the quickest my body has ever changed! I'm 45 days into the program and have completely changed the shape of my body. I would recommend this program for anybody that was SERIOUS about making changes. It
is no joke but it will change your life! I also love Jillian Michaels :-)

Body By PlayStation/Xbox :laugh:

Before (Summer 2012):


After (March 2013):


I used EA SportsActive 2, YourShape Fitness Evolved, and YourShape Fitness Evolved 2012. I followed the workout programs in the software. The plans are pretty well rounded, similar to workout videos where you do a few minutes of one exercise, then switch it up. I would say that the "games" are not much different than using a good exercise DVD. In some ways they may be better as they can give you immediate feedback on your form (to a point) that a DVD would not be able to provide. That, and they track your progress, which definitely served to motivate me.

I have since joined a gym because I have a small-ish rec room, and my wife (who was already a member) didn't want me filling the space up with exercise equipment. I still do the routines on days when I don't go to the gym.

ETA: I lost about 70 lbs. working out at home and watching my calories. The last 5 came off after I joined the gym, but I also increased my exercise at that time. I like running, so that is my main cardio, and I have also incorporated lifting routines with the help of a personal trainer.

I use youtube for my workouts. I especially like jessicasmithtv. She has TONS of different workouts.

Stationary bike, sit ups, push ups, wall sits. (sometimes I use the not yet opened gallon water jugs and treat them like weights) :laugh:

Pls, Whr duz one find this insanity workout
