Hi everyone!
Basically I wanted to know if there's any great excercises around the house?
I've heard hoovering is pretty good! :)

    Push-ups and planks. If you can get a pull-up bar then those are great too. To expand on this there are some great body weight programmes which can be done with little equipment, such as You Are Your Own Gym.

    squats, lunges, jumping jacks, small hand weights -- biceps, triceps, got a physio ball -- LOTS of things you can do with that,

    fitness blender videos on youtube are awesome, can stream through a smart TV too so its up on a bigger screen, they do some epic 1000 calories workouts and many of them are bodyweight only (no equipment needed) routines x

    Thanks aliceb83,
    That would be helpful as I don't have any equipment at the moment :) I'll definitely be trying that x

    I use cans and store bought weights, tbands, yoga, pilates, and my own weight. I want to buy some dvds to workout to. My issue is motivation

    I have 3 kids and homeschool 2 of them so I HAVE to workout from home. I'm currently training for my first 5K so I have been doing between 30-60min on the treadmill and I use the workout trainer app for my strength training. I have a few free weights and a kettlebell. When I need a break from that sometimes I just crank up the music and dance, which my kids love. On weekends I go outside to walk/run.
