Hi

I have recently lost all motivation with the gym as the classes i previously enjoyed either were dropped or moved to a time when I just cant get there. So rather than do nothing I have decided to work out at home. Im looking for people to add as friends who also use work out dvds for a little extra motivation :) I also own kettlebells and enjoy using these

    I do NOT sell Beachbody products, I have to preface with that.

    I LOVE TurboFire, Les Mills Pump and Les Mills Combat. I hate T25 (it's very painful, lots of jumping and lots of burpees and mountain climbers, my hips don't like that). I used to love Walk Away the Pounds back in the day for a light workout and then there's always just hitting the pavement for a run.

    Good Luck.

    I have looked at all these this morning - but they are all out of my price range for now! I really like combat at the gym but cant see me being motivated to do it at home. Instead I have bought a box set of jillian michaels dvds - 30 day shred, 6 weeks abs, banish fat and no more trouble zones. I also bought bob harpers kettle bell cardio shred - can you tell i like biggest loser lol x

    I just started getting into Kettlebells, but my brother has been training with them pretty consistently for years now. I just picked up a set of Sarah Lurie Iron Core Kettlebell DVD's on Amazon for less them $10. Two of the them are more for beginners, which is good for me, but the other 2 are pretty hard core - Iron Core Warrior and Iron Core Boot Camp. My brother checked them out and he said they're no BS.

    I love love love fitnessblender.com each time I can pick what I feel like doing and how long I want to aim for, mixing it up has really helped me keep motivated. I also love the 30DS and use zumba for ps3 when i feel like mixing it up for some cardio fun. Insanity is alright, but I found it boring and very hard on the joints.

    I've been exercising regularly for 6 months, I'm not an expert or in top notch condition.

    What I have found that helps with the motivation and boredom is not to do the same workout more than a couple of days in a row. I own 4 or 5 dvds that I picked up at yard sales, the gym I use has a small selection of dvds and once in a while I rent from the public library. Lots of variety for me. I even like to search exercises on youtube when I start getting the "same old, same old" feelings about my workouts.

    I use Beachbody all the way. The gym is a waste. After 5 years at the gym, I quit. Working out at home is better.

    Insanity has given me results and I would recommend it for anyone looking for workout videos, I never got into any of Shaun T's other workout series though.

    I just sent you an add! I am a vidiot, lol :-) And do practically all my exercising at home. I do have a ton of Beachbody and there is a lot of it I like, some I don't. But, I also have quite a range of other workouts for home as well. I used to do kettlebells and still have them, and am going to be using them in April/May. Am just finishing P90x3 out right now. I have most of the Bob Harper stuff, not so much Jillian as she isn't really my cup of tea, lol! But I do have a few of her videos. Ellen Barrett, I got started with Leslie Sansone and have used her more recently coming off of serious illness. A bunch of pilates, Barre3, some yoga, etc. I have been buying them since 2009 so it's been a little while.
    There is a site called videofitness dot com, the reviews of folks there have helped me to not buy too many I don't like. There is a lot of stuff on youtube... a lot of folks on VF like Jessica Smith, who has a ton of free workouts on you tube.

    I just started using myfitnesspal...I had started an account a few months ago but never really explored it and didn't get started. I have been on actively for the last few days and plan on continuing.

    I've been using 30day shred, and actually like it. It's nice to have it broken down in little segments and its fast. An old one I have that I also liked is a set called "yoga booty ballet" it's three videos, and has strength, balance and cardio. The trainers are kind of cookey and fun....I bet you could find it used on ebay

    Fitness Blender and 30 Day Shred are online for FREE. Don't buy into Beachbody.. waste of money esp if you don't really have a lot of it.

    I love dvds and I am going to start a 30 day bob harper dvd rotation. Its going to be killer, but I am excited. I like to rotate b/w dvds and barbell training to avoid boredom.
