Hi, I'm Becca, I am looking for someone who likes to do home workouts on DVD, you tube, fire stick, anything like that, to help motivate each other and swapping any good workouts we find. I really struggle to motivate myself to actually do the workout ive been thinking about doing all day!! Seems a great idea but once I put the kids to bed I don't ever get round to doing it. Hopefully there is someone else in a similar situation and we can help each other :)

    I do all home workouts (or run) but 5 days out of 6 I get workouts in early before my son gets up and before work. I would never get them in after he goes to bed. But we can still support each other if you want to friend me

    Room for one more? I'm so much more comfortable working out at home than in the gym. Right now I'm doing a DVD's after the kids go to bed, too. I'm only in two weeks, but so far so good! I'm not a morning person.

    I do home workouts starting at 6 am 5 days a week. Just started insanity this week and occasionally find something fun on YouTube. My favorite yet is a cardio kickboxing one. :)
    Feel free to send an add if you want. Would love to find other workouts to keep it interesting.

    Whenever am home, I make the gym my little *kitten*. I love to train here, really helps coordination and flexibility in other house chores.

    I workout at home with Jillian Michaels dvds. I set my alarm early and get it done before the kids wake. I'm too tired after work, but early workouts help me feel energised for the day :)

    I'd love to join in! I workout with Cathe, Jillian, or BJ Gaddour at home daily. I love it, but can be lonelier than the gym.

    I work out at home as well. Right now I am doing a hybrid of body beast and t25. May throw in insanity workout on weekends. I usually rotate with beachbody, Jillian Michael's and fitness blender or other YouTube workouts

    I workout in the evening after work. My 5yo watches me at times and does his own version or plays with his toys. When he was younger, I waited till he was asleep but not anymore.

    Feel free to add me! I aim for 4 days during the week and one on the weekend

    I work out, at home. For me, it is usually dancing. Turn on some music, do a bit of salsa dancing. It can also be done while watching TV.

    I have also done the Leslie Sansone Walk at Home videos on You Tube. I also do a salsa routine to a You Tune series. https://youtube.com/watch?v=YpXM3sVPxWY

    I work out at home, currently doing 30 day shred on YouTube but might need to look into something else while I strengthen my knees, happy to be friends with anyone to share ideas and offer support!

    Add me. I have a 4 month old and have limited time to go to the gym so home work outside are best for me. I use the app body space for weight training ideas and fitness blender for cardio.

    I don't do workout videos but I do get up and work out either on the elliptical or weight lifting before the 5 month old and the hubby are awake. You can add me!
    I've been working out and eating right again for about the last month and I'm feeling so good
