Does anyone have any good fat burning exercises that don't require a lot of space ( living room). I've got a very primitive treadmill and adjustable dumbbells from 10-90lbs and floor space. Any tips are appreciated!

    I only work out in the living room - DVDs and Youtube videos ftw. Checkout the FitnessBlender channel on youtube, but also search around for other trainers/channels you might like. There are also apps out there for designing your own workout but I haven't used any. I work out in the morning so I can't be expected to think or plan at that hour :)

    Thanks for your suggestion! I've probably spent 526272525 hours (estimated) on YouTube watching videos and got a lot of great tips. But other than endless hours on the treadmill I have no idea how to lose fat in the living room lol

    I too live in a small place and on days I cant get to the gym I typically do a YouTube video or put on Just Dance for the kinnect. Trust me, you sweat your butt off and its fun :D and that way my kiddo joins in as well

    Well, it helps if you DO the videos instead of just watching!

    Do this in your living room; you will burn fat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbxAYBH8ZTE

    As a supplement to my regular workouts, or sometimes replacement, I invested in a cheap stair stepper and a balance ball. The stair stepper was probably $30, and takes up about a square foot of space. The balance ball was less than $20 with a pump. I can use either while watching television at night. The stair stepper can get some cardio, and also gives a nice burn to upper legs. I do various things on the balance ball, from using it as a base for some dumbell exercises to doing a modified squat. They are both very quiet, which was important to me as I use them at night after the kids go to bed.

    I also have the treadmill and adjustable dumbbells....I have since added a step and balance ball, but I also love the resistance bands. You put them around your ankles and do the high intensity interval training workouts. Mine come in 3 different resistances as well.

    I've bought the resistance bands too, that come in 3 different ones. I didn't really know how to use them for cardio
