Hi so I go to the gym daily, but it's not till late afternoon or evening due to my husbands job and my kiddos. So while I'm at home I like to try some at home workouts. I use to love them when I lost weight a few years ago.

I'm just trying to come up with an everyday workout for arms and especially my legs. Any ideas?

Thanks!!

    It's not to be done daily.

    Make sure to get your rest days! If you workout everyday, you'll just wear yourself out. Don't do legs everyday too, unless its a full body workout. You gotta give your body rest to work your body properly.

    I like Tracy Anderson, BarreAmped--they really focus on the legs and glutes. Otherwise, I put on my ankle weights and do some leg lifts, lunges, walk with incline on the treadmill, or a dvd with the weights on. The Firm workouts include "plyos" (jumping squats) those really work the legs and glutes:)

    Put your kid on your back and do your squats. As they get bigger, you will get stronger. Built in progress.

    Actually don't train then everyday. They need rest like all muscles do. That said, there are many sites that offer free instruction on body weight exercises with videos on execution.
