Literally Square One.

FitnessBlender.com. Over 400 free workouts for all levels. Use their search feature to find level 1 workouts, and you can also specify length, body weight only, etc. Good stuff.

My suggestions would be to start small and work your way up. Don't get yourself caught up in what you can't do.. it just means you have a lot of room for growth and improvement and that's a GOOD thing.

I'd suggest first figuring out what you'd like to accomplish (specific weight loss goal, 10 minute mile, strength goal, etc), figure out what kind of exercises you might like (dancey versus intense cardio versus yoga, etc), how much time you can commit to it during the week, and whether you can/want to do things that may require equipment (like weights or resistance bands) or just use your body. Don't be afraid to try out different things if you're not familiar with different kinds of workouts. Sometimes it's hard to know what you'll like (or love!) until you find it and try it out. Don't worry about being perfect or doing everything fully, just do your best with whatever it is.

Have you gone on YouTube to look up exercises or maybe beginner workouts?

So. I really want to start working out from home. Except that I have no idea where to start.. I'm sad to say I can't do a "real" push-up. I can barely do a sit-up.

Suggestions?

I know what you mean I've been trying to get into working out and its tough I'm so out of shape . I just try like 20 mins in morning and at night . it helps good luck

Working out at home with very little equipment, look at books like "You Are Your Own Gym" or "Body By You." They start with very easy movements and tell you how to make them harder as you get stronger.

I do squats, lunges, planks and push ups (knees on the ground though). I also do rows, bicep curls, etc with 5 lb hand weights. Even if u start with just 1 set of 8 reps, it's a good start!

The main thing is to not get discouraged by what you can't do, just focus on what you can and grow from there. When I first started losing weight I had to start my pushups like blankiefinder suggests, against a wall, then against the back of the couch, then on knees, and finally standard (omitting a few other variations in between). My standard for progression was if I could do 1 set of 20, then it was time to try something a little harder. Now I don't have any problems with pushups and often bust out a couple of sets on my lunch break.

As for working out from home in general I prefer this routine for beginners and cannot extoll the virtues of walking enough.

I love the C25K app along with Workout Trainer. Super simple, shows you the ropes and gets you moving. Also find something that you love to do. If you hate it you won't do it. Make small goals and work your way from there. Feel free to friend me!! I'm doing this all from home too!
