Hi guys! Anyone have any fun and effective workout DVD/in home workouts they can suggest for me? I have a gym membership, but the weather in my area has been terrible lately and I don't want to keep using it as an excuse to not get my workouts in. Any tips at all would be great!
Also, if you know of any free ones on youtube that you guys can send links to that would be awesome as well!
Thanks in advance

No dvd tips. A big motivated for myself is to enter an event that you need to train for and going to the gym has its reason as there is a purpose to it and reason to train.2

I used to do POP Pilates videos on youtube when I was too lazy to go to the gym. Good work out and minimal equipment needed.
I do second giving yourself a reason to go to the gym though. Both times I got on board with fitness was when I had a reason. The first I was working my way up to a half marathon, so I was training for a 5k, 10k, and the half. Now I'm an aerialist (which is a good workout in and of itself) but I realized to get better I needed to be putting in time outside of class to improve my strength and endurance. So find a sport or event you enjoy and start training for that.3 -
Have a look at Onnit's two Kettlebell workout DVDs, you can get digital copies for $5 each - get yourself a couple of kettlebells (as cheap as $25 each) and that'll give you some good stuff you can do in home.1

Check out fitnessblender.com3

Wait, the weather in the gym is fine. Are you saying you just don't want to go because it's cold outside? If you're COMMITTED to improving your fitness and health, you still go. This is a small obstacle.Donna_Renae wrote: »Hi guys! Anyone have any fun and effective workout DVD/in home workouts they can suggest for me?

Jillian Michaels, Denise Austin, The Firm, Turbo Jam, Rockin'body, PiYo(the last 3 are all Beach Body workouts-their stuff is really good ) BeFit channel, exerciseTV, and fitness blender (online) also have great workouts. There are so many things you can do at home without spending any money on a gym membership you won't use.4

Turbo Fire by Chalene Johnson (also associated with Beachbody). I cannot praise this DVD series enough! Yeah, it seems a lot to pay upfront for a workout but the variety and number of workouts is extensive. And not a lot of space is required. I've had mine for almost six years and I'm not even close to getting bored. I used to be a dedicated step user but TF is the bomb! It really is so worth it! And SO FUN!
Other workouts I recommend: Anything by The Firm, Cathe Friedrich (amazing workouts, plenty of cardio and strength-training), Kari Anderson. Just my $0.02 1 -
Thanks everyone who actually answered the question.0

Probably any workout DVD will do. Depends on the intensity you want. I like Insanity because its the most like the workouts I do in Crossfit, but sometimes I just youtube dance/Zumba videos and do those when I'm bored and groovy.0

Tone It Up has SO many free workouts you can find either on their website or via YouTube. There are videos you can follow along for every body part, total body, HIIT circuits, yoga and stretching. They even put up a weekly schedule on their site every Sunday that you can follow along if you don't know where to start.0

I really like Jillian michaels, Leslie sansone and anything from the series The Firm0

I just signed up for Beachbody on Demand All Access, which includes all of their programs, but it's $99 for the year. Just search YouTube and the app stores for lots of free options.0

My favorite YouTuber is Millionaire Hoy. Lots of great workouts for every fitness level, and he's super motivational.
