Ladies who work out at home!

I do a lot of bodyweight exercises that are designed to put a lot of weight on the part you are working (often in odd positions). And I add weight to other bodyweight moves, so it doesn't take hundreds of pounds of weights and all that gym space, because I don't have those. I do use things like large sand bags as weights, too, lol. They work well!

I have to do a lot of isolation work anyway for other reasons, but that's another way to limit having to buy the really heavy weights if that's what's holding anyone back. Non-compound moves use fewer muscles, so you can't lift as much as you can with compound moves. So you don't need weights as heavy

I love DVDs. I get all of my cardio from DVDs (dance, mainly), and I also use them for flexibility, dynamic stretch warmups, and yoga.

I have a gym membership but sometimes I can't make it, right now we are down to one car so on those days I use the Wii or Xbox

Fitness Blender!!!

I do a lot of workout videos (torrent sites are your friend) T25, Chalean Extreme, a couple of different Jillian Michaels videos (they're very cheap), etc. I bought a weight bench and barbell/plates off of Craigslist for $30, so I have that for my lifting, and the videos for cardio. I've never stepped foot in a gym.

I'm spoiled with a treadmill, elliptical and stationary bike. I do them every day for years now and it doesn't bore me because I watch a show or read a book while on them. It's the best investment we ever made! I'm just lucky we have space for it, I know not everyone does.

I've found Jillian Michaels' DVDs invaluable! I've just finished 30 day shred and about to start 6 week 6 pack tonight!! Most of her vids are between 25-45 minutes, and all you need are some hand weights!

I cycle, and have just ordered the JM's 30 Day Shred after reading heaps of positive reviews on MFP and on Amazon.com. Love that it is an intense workout in a short time frame and only requires the hand weights .

I let my gym membership go in favor of C25K, and a couple of weights and stretch bands. There are lots of things you can do at home that don't require bulky equipment but the question for some people is do you have the discipline to actually do it without the drive to the gym?

oooo i do C25K, got some stretch bands recently and have a small dumbbell.... just trying to figure out what activities to do with them

I have the app on my phone, been doing workouts off it since Aug. 27th. Havn't lost much weight since then, since I don't have much more to go, but have definitely gotten definition going in my stomach. I use the free workouts, not necessary to pay for working out. But they have an awesome assortment to go through.

Walking. If you can manage a 3-4 mile walk, at a brisk pace, it's a way to (1) get/stay fit and toned, (2) not get bored--change of route = change of scenery, (3) get fresh air. I was so tired of working out in dark, sweaty, stinky gyms. Buy a pair of snow sneakers for bad weather. It's fun to walk in the snow. The only thing I avoid is the rain. Best fitness partner ever = a dog! A dog never complains and are a great source of enthusiasm and motivation.

Fitness Blender and BeFit videos on youtube are great. BeFit actually has a 90-day workout program that you can follow (BeFitin90). Fitness blender, you either have to plan out your workouts or purchase one of there workout programs (I think it was only 8 bucks) if you're not into the whole planning thing. I am also doing Insanity....it was expensive but it was my treat to myself :-)
