in Health and Weight Loss
I live in a SUPER small town there are no big fancy gyms close by to work out in so your pretty much left to your own devices. I just started on my weight los journey after much yo-yo and crash dieting. I am currently doing "The Biggest Loser" Cardio Max DVD right now and loving the motivation of the guides and how the moves can be altered to beginners or those who are not as physically able to do them. I just have a set of hand weights for now...

Looking for some new workouts I can do at home that will be effective!??

    Pilates. Planks. Burpees. Look on YouTube, you can find tons of workouts using just your own body for resistance.

    My OnDemand channel on cable has a "fitness and sports" section FILLED with all different kinds of exercise routines for beginner, intermediate, and advanced. If you have OnDemand, I would definitely recommend checking it out!

    Im using Fitnessblender too. You can find them on Youtube or search for their website. There are so many calories and it's such a big variety. From Pilates to HIIT to 5-minute long workouts and some to burn 1000 calories. I love them because you can do something different every day and still have fun (and i hate sports.. ^^)

    collagevideo.com is a great resource for looking up DVD info

    http://www.collagevideo.com/

    You get a list of equipment required, impact level, fitness level, choreography level....and a video clip. The video clip will let you know if there are any modifiers.

    I like Kelly Coffey Meyer DVDs ....she has a series 30 Minutes to fitness....the DVDs generally have 2 -30 minute workouts & lots of premixes to keep it fresh. I like this one: http://www.collagevideo.com/workout-video/kelly-coffeys-30-min-to-fitness-start-here-6097

    Yep! I use OnDemand videos for my kickboxing, target areas, and yoga workouts. YouTube has a lot of videos as well, like Level 1 of the 30 Day Shred.

    currently working my way through Jillian Michael's ripped in 30. I'm using 10lbers for the first two circuits and 5lbers for the last. I tried out pop pilates for a week but couldn't get into it.

    Yoga. ZERO equipment aside from my mat! :)

    BUT... I've said it before and I'll say it again... my Wii did wonders. EA Sports Personal Trainer - amazing. Lost my first 35 pounds using just that and MFP.

    it depends on your budget of course, but walmart is your friend in this case.....I have Brazil Butt Lift....all that is needed is a set of 5lb ankle weights and 5lb dumbbells....I also have p90x which I bought on a buy and sell website...if you have one in your area, check it out to see if anyone is selling anything like that....I also have Chalean Extreme....I bought that one and BBL from the beachbody website....a larger investment for sure, but cheaper in the long run than an ongoing gym membership which I can't afford right now....I love all three of these programs and I also bought a Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 for about $10 at walmart....I'm going to get her abs one too.....as well as things that other posters are suggesting, you might want to take a look at these....they have worked for me.....I did make a major investment in a set of Bowflex Select Tech dumbells so I can dial up and down and only need one set of weights....I live in a small apartment so I don't have room for lots of equipment......best of luck with your journey....:)

    If you have an iphone or ipad, get the Hot5 app. I love it. It's tons of 5 minute workouts to target whatever area you want. Plus it syncs with MFP so cals burned are calculated. Can't beat that! Oh, and it's FREE!

    Look for beginner Workout of the Day (WOD) plans online. They are almost entirely bodyweight, and will kick your bootay.

    I've been using virtuagym as it has a website and app so I can run a workout program whenever, wherever. The audio "encouragements" are a little goofy since it's run by a german company, but the workouts are straight forward and they have a good selection for no and minimal equipment.

    Should be able to find a good assortment of video's giving you a good workout with those hand weights. Also Insanity is great along with all the other beachbody video's.
