Workout at home ideas

There are lots of good apps and at home workout programs the most popular seem to be
P90X
Insanity
30 Day shred

Body weight squats
Jump squats
Wall squats
single leg dead lifts
jumping jacks
Push ups
Pull ups
jumping jacks
high knees
mummy kicks
burpies
mountain climbers
planks
c sits
flutter kicks
crunches
Go running / walking / hiking
stair repeats on the nearest set of stairs you can find

basically find a way to move and sweat for 30-60 minutes daily. Engaging your bigger muscles (legs, butt, back, chest) in compound movements will maximize your time.

I work out at home. Mine and my boyfriends schedules are the complete opposite with two kids I don't have the time to make it to the gym i've been doing the fitness marshall on YouTube (little hip hop butt twerk videos thay are very fun) I recently got an ipod to try and get up early before work and go on walks. But other then that I'm not sure one what else to do

You can walk in place while watching television or play with your two kids and cook and clean and dance and more walking in place and lifting weights or play with a kettlebell or two or chase your kids in the back yard and do housework such as sweeping and mopping and vacuuming and if you do all these things all the time then you don't need to go to the gym or even get a ipod.

I have practically a whole gym in my house having invested in a heavy punching bag, elliptical, treadmill, bicycle, chin up bar, rowing machine, bench press, weights. My suggestion would be ankle weights and a elastic band. Between these two things you can do a lot of exercises.

Restistance bands, kettlebells (look at living fit revolution website for workouts), and a jump rope can give you an awesome at home workout without investing a lot of money or taking up a lot of space. @_reno_ gave you some great body weight exercises that you can do too!

I started a workout the other day were I did rounds of specific exercises (lunges, two types of squats, and kettlebell swings) with jumping rope at the end of each round. The first round I completed one of each exercise and twenty jumps on the jump rope. Next round was two of each exercise and 40 jumps, then three of each exercise and sixty jumps, four of each and 80 jumps, a 60-90 second rest. Each round you keep adding one of each exercise and adding 20 jumps (I maxed the jumps at 100 each round). I only could complete 6 full rounds and my legs felt like jello for the rest of the day! I have did this workout with arm exercises and ab exercises too and kept the jumping rope portion of the workout. Also, after you get to four or more rounds you take a rest.
