Housewife Exercise :)

Okay so I'm a housewife and looking to lose weight.
There isn't a gym in my village and I dont drive to get to the closest one...approx. 10 miles away.
Does anyone have any tips on exercise indoors? (I dont feel confident enough to exercise outside yet and the house isnt big enough to get exercise equipment)
I have a Wii with Wii Fit and Wii Sports but it gets a bit boring after a while...
Anyone have any ideas??

There are a lot of exercise DVDs out there...have a look on amazon and ebay...really depends what kind of workout you would like!0

Second the exercise DVD idea - I love Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and Davina has some good ones0
-
Youtube is your friend :flowerforyou:0
-
Fitness (Exercise) Blender google search. You create workouts based on what is available and readily accessible to you. Enjoy.0

My wife hates gyms, she uses Cathe Fredrich videos. They are pretty hard core, and you can do them in a small space.0
-
If you have a Wii, try EA Sports Active 2. You can find the complete kit on Amazon or Ebay for cheap now.0

I would second Cathe Friedrich. You can download or buy DVDs. She covers a broad spectrum of exercise from heavy lifting to step aerobics, from spinning to HIIT so there should be something that appeals to whatever preferences you have.0 -
I hate going to the gym. What I do is the Jessicasmithtv on youtube, it's walking with some strength moves as well. I'm really enjoying it, so much so that I don't mind getting up at 4:30am to do some exercise.0

You tube has many videos. Check out Jillian micheals. Now if those are too intense there are many others.
I also blast music and dance in the house...just not when I have knives in my hands while I am cooking. Don't ask me how I know not to do that. :blushing:0 -
you could try the dance games too, they're fun, or just whack some music on and bop around the house.0
-
You could also try purchasing an exercise machine like a bike or x trainer and popping it in front of the tv and watching your favourite programmes whilst doing it, have to confess this is what I do, or I have a big sing along to a favourite album whilst doing it, quite a breathless sing a long sometimes lol.0

try these guys on you tube ... they are great n have all sorts of workout .. from light to crazy lol

My problem with wii fit is that you spend too much time in between some exercises just standing around while it loads or talks etc and thats no good with my feet , therefore i tend not to use it at all0 -
I do YouTube exercise video's for free.
Search "Walk away the pounds". There are quite a few of those and its amazing how many steps my Fitbit records with those.0 -
check out fitness blender online--every form and level of exercise you could ever want. Or DVD are great too, and pretty cheap now.0
-
I second the YouTube idea, or if you have a smartphone there are tons of free apps. I like Sworkit, which is short 30 second intervals of an exercise repeated in the length of time you choose. Walking is also a good exercise, it's free and the equipment is always available :happy:0
