Can you effectively workout at home?

I only workout at home -- travel time can't be beat, and you can wear what you want --

Uh oh. Do we have a nekkid exerciser over here??

Anyway, I love the apps 7 minute workout and You Are Your Own Gym. I find it hard to get the motivation to workout at home, but the more I verbalize it with my partner, the more likely he will find something do to or somewhere to go while I focus and workout as quickly as possible. There are a lot of tools out there. Once you find a pattern (for example 3 exercises, 10 reps of each per round, minute break in between rounds, do 10 rounds) you can switch out the exercises to whatever you feel like doing. I also do Deck of Cards: assign an exercise to each suit, aces are 11 reps, face cards are 10 reps, split into 4 piles so you can space out your breaks, and turn on some good music.

I have been working out at home for years! I prefer it over the gym. I've done all kinds of stuff like Tae Bo, Carmen Electra, Jillian Michaels, Pilates, Insanity, P90X, Les Mills Combat, Insanity, Focus T25, and now PiYo. I love them all and have seen GREAT results.

I love, love, LOVE our elliptical. Probably the best $300 we ever spent. We added a recumbent stationary bike a few months later. My husband and I each lost 100 lbs last year with these two pieces of equipment (plus a couple of sets of dumbbells). Now I run outside sometimes, and he has been biking for the past few weeks. You absolutely can get an effective workout at home.

I workout at home often. Yoga, stretching, choreography and dance technique practice, calisthenics. I usually run a few miles to warm up before stretching or yoga. I don't use DVDs or anything, but as long as I work up a sweat I consider it a workout.

I havent stepped foot in a gym since the beginning of my weight loss journey. I think it takes more motivation and self discipline but it can certainly be done and be effective. I use FitnessBlender.com for HIIT And other various workouts and then I lift weights that i bought at a yard sale for cheap. My spare bedroom has become a home gym kind of and I feel so comfortable and relaxed at home.

I do all the time. I can't afford a treadmill or anything (though my one sister has a treadmill, and the other an elliptical - and I'm about [this] close to getting the one to give me her elliptical), but I make use of what I do have.

If you don't want to waste money on the DVDs (and I wouldn't blame you), Youtube has a LOT of work out routines. You can switch it up all the time. I, personally, love Jessica Smith. She has a website, just Google the name. She has a great personality, and a cute dog. Another thing I like to make use of are work out apps. Sworkit is a good one, and links to your MFP account to automatically log routines. Of course, that presents that problem that you can't cut them in half if you prefer to do that for a more accurate estimation.

I have resistance bands, which I use on my light routine days. I, also, have a pilates kit. I love my Pilates . I have two sets of dumbbells to add a bit of a challenge to cardio. And a set of weights for strength training. I, also, like my ball. It makes cardio interesting, and can make certain exercise moves a bit challenging (planks, sit ups, etc).

And then, sometimes I just do random work outs. Like 100 jumping jacks, 10 push ups, 30 second wall sit, 60 second plank, 10 burpees, 50 sit ups. And just do whatever gets me moving. I find it really helps to do this if I time myself.

And of course, I walk a lot. And sometimes I get bored of walking, so jog for a few minutes.

Anything to get moving occasionally.

get yourself some resistance bands. look up workouts with resistance bands on youtube. there are plenty on there. all you have to spend is twenty bucks. For cardio go outside and/or look up some workout videos on youtube. there you go. home workouts for not so much money.

I work full time and have a 2 year old and 3 month old so I don't have time for the gym. I lost over 50 pounds after having my first child doing Leslie Sansone's walk at home tape and a Prevention flat belly dvd. I'm going to try biggest loser and Jillian Michaels tapes. Leslie Sansone is good to start off with if you are out of shape (like me).

Do an internet search for bodyweight exercises. You can get a good workout with no equipment at all.

At least twice a week right now my workout is taking turns shagging ground balls and pop flies with my 13 year old daughter. It's great family time and she appreciates me helping her practice.

I only workout at home! The key for me is variety! I've done many different things! I just became a Beachbody coach, and doing PiYo right now! Awesome workout and low impact!
