    I use Fitness Blender often. I came across Millionaire Hoy YouTube vids for strength & HIIT as well. Bumping for other recommendations

    The most effective strength building workouts are usually the most repetitive and have the least variety. If the prospect of doing these things bores you too much to want to continue with a regimen, well then that's a personal issue you've got deal with.

    I have found tons of good kettlebell workouts on Youtube. I picked up a 10-lb. kettlebell at Walmart, and I just do several short video workouts each day, for a total of 30 or 40 minutes. (My favorites are from GymRa, which work in cardio with the kettlebells.) Since I switch up the video combo each day, I am not getting bored, and I try to keep choosing more and more challenging videos. After just three weeks of kettlebells, I had reduced my body fat percentage by almost a full point--I can't wait to have it checked again next month to see how I've done since then. I have always hated strength training, but I am actually enjoying the challenge of kettlebell workouts!

    There are some great kettlebell workouts out there. I can't stand to workout at home much, but I do use a kettlebell. It's seriously a great workout (best to have a few different sizes, I just have a 40lb one).

    It really is an issue I've got to deal with. I'd love people's ideas for that as well.

    In the past my fitness regime was just spending lots of time hiking, biking, playing soccer, etc. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for my life right now. Doing sets of the same 10 exercises every other day is better than nothing, but it's nowhere near as fun. At least I have podcasts.

    Kettlebells and bodyweight workout.
    I would take at least some beginner's classes for kettlebell from a qualified instructor to learn good form and for the sake of safety, but if you can't, read books by Pavel Tsatsouline.

    Variety is one great feature of the NROL programs. They're all about changing things up to keep challenging the body to adapt. They introduce increasingly difficult variations as you progress.

    30DS is cardio, not strength training, and you'd quickly get bored as it's the same workout every time.

    YAYOG has an app you can follow and it's a progressive strength training program.

    you apparently didn't do it...

    30DS has 3min cardio, 2min resistence/bodyweight training/1min abs and runs 2 more cycles...and it changes every 10 days or everyday if you want it to but there are 3 basic workouts, which are great because you can start with modified if necessary and keep challenaging yourself to do non modified...it's how I started.

    To the OP check out fitnessblender.com...husband/wife team hundreds of workouts.

    Also lookup you are your own gym and convict condtioning.

    If you have a barbell, bench and some plates check out SL or SS...
