Tabata. Fitnessblender.com You'll need a tabata timer that you can download on your phone and about 30 minutes. No special equipment required.0

I use Blogilates because Cassie's workouts are amazing (even though I don't agree with some of her ideas, but. ). It's on YouTube. I'm taking a break from the gym right now (and just what I need too).0

I personally do not like gyms(bad experience)!
I bought a pedometer, and my phone has a built in one as well. I use both to calculate my walking distance. I will be investing in a nicer one soon.
I just walk lots of walking, its amazing(outside, inside around my house, anywhere!)
I literally throw on my headphones, blast some music, and walk back and forth around my apartment. Before you know it I am jogging in place, dancing, and having fun.(looking like a fool though)
I check my pedometer at the end of the day, say 7 pm if I have not done much activity I feel guilty! The numbers make it real for me and upset me! So that is my motivation to get moving.
Also I went pinterest crazy looking at workouts! https://www.pinterest.com/kialea22/fitness/
I have a entire board about the subject.
I started with buying small weights 3, 5, 8, & 10's.
I use the 3's when I walk to just keep my arms busy. I use 5 or 8 to do simple arm exercises curls, lateral raises, etc...
For the heavier weights I use them to squat and lunge with! There are hundreds of workouts you can do. Try looking some up on you tube, google or like I mentioned pinterest! (good ol' internet)
Hope this helped a bit:)0 -

FitnessBlender times the workout for you. Just exercise in front of your lap top and go.0 -
Another vote for fitness blender here. Started it a couple of years ago and all went well.....till I decided to slow down a bit, a complete halt for the last year. So back on the waggon with intention to make proper lifestyle changes. I bought (honestly these are so cheap it hardly seems like supporting them at all), three of their programmes to give me an ordered structure and have just started back into the 4 week low impact for beginners. This plus 2 of the 8 week programmes will take me through to May all going well.
I really like their style; plain, simple and straightforward. Plus no music so I can play my own.

Fitness Blender, Blogilates and if you like high intensity Millionaire Hoy. I like Millionaire Hoy a lot.0

I also recommend Leslie Sansone's walk away the pounds. i have one video that has 1, 2,3 and 4 mile walks and i just ordered another DVD which has a 5 day walk plan. look at walmart.com, they are only $7.50 and a great start for a beginner, they give you more muscle workout than you would think!0

I do a lot of workout programs at home. I have done a lot of the beachbody programs. But I just signed up for the "Daily Burn" and I love it!
