MFP community,
A few months ago I asked you for plan ahead recipes on a graduate student budget and got fantastic responses, so I will try again here!

My wife and I want a pretty challenging workout routine we can do at home together in 30 minutes to 1 hour each day (rotating through different days would be great). We were considering buying T25 but the cost and reviews made us a little uneasy and more curious if we could design something ourselves or use other cheaper DVDs to rotate.

So basically: Do you have any suggestions of exercises, apps, websites, dvds, or anything for a good at home workout routine?

Thanks once again!

    Since you have checked out T25, have you thought about Chalean Extreme, Turbofire or Les Mills Combat ?? They cost between 60$ to 90$ and are all complete great program.

    T25 is a good program but yeah the intial cost is not cheap, still cheaper than a gym membership but it is more expensive than most programs.

    What equipment do you have at home?

    rolemodel69: Thanks for the response. I have some dumbbells, yoga mats, and a jump rope. I also have an $80 gift I could spend at Academy towards something like this, so open to dvd or other equipment suggestions.

    Check out Fitnessblender.com. Tons of different types of videos. The BeFit Channel on YouTube also has tons of videos, some their own, some stuff like Jillian Michaels, Denise Austin, etc.

    Womanshealth.com has very good routine in which you only need dumbells.

    Look up military BMT workouts. The real stuff, none of these body boot camps stuff the gym tries to sell. Do pushups, situps, mountain climbers, burpees, lunges, and planks. Three sets of 10 starting out. Then increase when it gets easy. Too easy? Do pyramid pushups. Now that's a full-body workout worth doing.
