    I have two kids, in a temp single status, work out side the home as well as online lol...I love the on demand videos on cable, they can range from 5 minutes to 30 and they even have some geared towards kids so my youngest will do "baby goga" as she puts it with mommy :P
    I want to get the p90x after christmas but I'm worried about finding the time to do it.

    Up here in the great white north *cough* canada lol ....I think some of the bigger cities have On Demand Exercise channels unfortunately out here on the east coast we don't have anything like that yet *note to self....email to cable provider as to why??*

    The only way I found time to do the p90x is after i got the kids to bed. I did a really quick clean up, put on the laundry and did the video. Switched the laundry. Continued the video/cool down. I'm hoping to get back into this routine this time around

    I like Denise Austin's Pilates and Yoga, it's not too tough, you do break a sweat. And your core will be so sore. Its gets deep in the belly muscles :) Good Luck

    Try the Slim N 6 series from Beach Body. I love at home workouts and it is my favorite.:flowerforyou:
    Slim in 6 and Slim Series are my favorites too! I like P90X too, but not as much as the Slim Series, which has lots more for your legs and butt. :bigsmile:

    I love to dance too and my favorite workouts are Zumba and Shaun T Rockin' Body.. good calorie burn and after nearly 4 months, I am still not bored with either one. As soon as I lose 3 more lbs, I am rewarding myself with Shaun's Hip Hop Abs workout.

    Do you have a Wii game console? My daughter and I play with the Wii FIT and have a ball! There is yoga, balance, and cardio all in the setup of the games. Completing certain actions opens more options such as additional yoga moves, a different balance game, etc. Each "game" is 1-3 minutes to begin with, then moves up. I can work up a good sweat and have a blast at the same time.


    I don't have a Wii ... (thats a long story lmao!)

    But I will eventually get another one, and I definitely plan on getting the Wii Fit
    I am so afraid to ask! I threw my arm out playing virtual baseball when we first got the console. How freakin' embarrassing!

    I'm going to hit up a major work out today (seeing this is the SECOND DAY! I went over my Cal limit :angry: )

    I'm going to hunt down some Zumba, maybe give that a try, with some of my own major warm ups and cool downs

    do you guys know of any free (*legal*) web sites out there with great work out videos?

    Just wanted you to know I love my Zumba classes....I take them on Mondays and Wednesdays right after work and they are a real good cardio workout......It is a 7 week session and will just keep renewing after 7 weeks and I plan to take them all through the winter and spring to look great next summer.

    There are a few Zumba classes around here, but again...don't have the time :(:( But i'm going to track down some videos :)
    It really grew in popularity here over the summer when the local universities attempted to break the world record of largest and longest Zumba class. It was pretty fun!
