Workout Videos at Home

Yes!

All.The.Time! I don't have a gym membership at this time. I have tried on several occasions to go to the gym but it wound up being a waste of time and especially money.

I have A LOT of Zumba DVD sets for the TV, XBox and WiiU that I love. I also have a library of Yoga DVDs from Tara Stiles (If you are in to Yoga, Tara has a ton of free online Videos through YouTube that you could check out) to Shiva Rea. I also have a collection of Winsor Pilates DVDs from Mari Winsor. These are the main workouts that I like to do from Home. It works with having a busy schedule at work and at home. No more driving15 minutes to and from the gym wasting precious time that I could have else where.

Plus walking/jogging out side is great and it's free. Gives you a nice breath of fresh air to rejuvinate yourself.

Good luck and keep moving!

I really like Jillian Michaels DVD's. The 30 Day Shred is really popular because it only takes 20 minutes and I lost weight doing that. I think Ripped in 30 is more effective though. (that's 25 minutes)

I also really like Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. Its a bit longer and is really hard work but really good for cardio.

She has loads out so you can really take your pick. I like mixing it up and doing different ones for a few days.

I can only really work out at home when my little one is asleep so DVD's are the only way for me to go!

Good luck in your weight loss journey!

Adding - most of these are available on youtube!

I have had great success only working out at home (or around home, walks, runs etc). I like using videos too since programs keep me on time and scheduled so I don't get lazy deciding what to do. I LOVE Fitnessblender.com and they have all their stuff up on YT too, they offer a little bit of everything so its great for all kinds of workouts. I also really loved the 30DS when I first started out as well as Body Revolution, though they aren't free they are effective and great for if you dont have internet connection all the time.

I absolutely LOVE the walk away the pounds videos. There's videos for free on youtube for walking one mile, all the way up to walking 6 I think. I am on the 4 mile and have lost almost 10 lbs this last month using them in my living room. I am expanding to the gym now because I want to try out some of the different equipment, but I would suggest the Walk Away the Pounds videos as well. They were a game changer for me!

I love using FitnessBlender.com workouts, they're all free, TONS of different types of videos (HIIT cardio, yoga, strength training, etc). You can watch on their site or through their youtube

Has anyone had success only working out at home? I work full time and am in grad school. At the end of the day, I just want to follow along to a free video on YouTube.

Does anyone have any suggestions for their favorite videos or any success?

OMG! Yes YES YES!!!! I lost my first 55/60 lbs at home with FREE You tube Videos and still workout to them to this day but I now have a gym membership which I don't care for. I only go for the toning and things that I can't do at home but I'm changing that, realizing that I can buy the equipment for my home and do it just as well. I have plenty of save favorite videos from you tube so I can change it up at any time. NO Excuses! Add me if you like as well.

I've been using Jillian Michaels' DVDs as well. First did the 30 Day Shred and then Ripped in 30. Now that I'm done those programs, I am using Shred It with Weights and Extreme Shed and Shred. They are all interval workouts and you don't need super heavy weights (I have a 5 lb and 10 lb set). I'm seeing great results and will likely add her yoga DVDs to my rotation.

And now for something a little bit slower but burns just as good: Launchpad: Low-Impact Workouts for Obesity and Limited Mobility https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PL-3ha1N51FWOHt_G7xKX_Eq_94_NFsVk1

I only work out at home, unless I go hiking somewhere. I use YouTube for just about everything: zumba, kickboxing, pilates, yoga, etc. And I have an app on my iPhone that I use for strength or circuit training. I also have an elliptical, but I haven't been able to use it lately because it irritates my plantar fasciitis.

I don't do gyms - too many people and I just cringe at the idea of using something somebody else just sweated on. I use my treadmill, recumbent bike, walk outside when it's nice, and will use my commuter bike outside once I get it tuned up. I also lift weights - dumbbells, barbell, and kettlebell - and have a stability ball too.

I don't use videos since they go too fast for me and I end up hurting myself trying to do the stuff they do (they make it look so easy too). Beginner is too advanced and low impact doesn't mean easy by any stretch. I use sites like http://www.acefitness.org/ to see how to do certain lifts correctly (it has yoga and bodyweight exercises too, though no kettlebell). I just searched for kettlebell exercises and found some common ones I do.

Youtube is a good place to try, as others have mentioned, Hulu, Netflix, and on iphone I found 5 free apps with plenty of videos that may work for you (one claims over 1,000 free exercise videos). Also, don't forget your local library! Most have videos you can borrow.

Yes all of my 29 pounds lost so far is working out totally at home with P90x (classic schedule)....I'm in my 2nd round final month now.

But that comes along with good food tracking in MFP....

bump for later

Before I gained half the weight back, I lost 80 pounds the first time I exercised. I didn't go to the gym at all. I did the c25k program, Jillian Michaels 30ds and weights. I ate a lot better too. I'm working out at home this time around again as well. Not only am I doing all that, but I've found kickboxing videos online from an awesome guy. I'm literally sweating at the end it's so awesome haha.

I don't workout a lot but when i do i use fitnessblender
