What's a good workout to do from home?

I used to do Yoga Booty Ballet and Core Rythms and did well, but I wanted something easier to maintain. Now I use a spincycle and watch Netflix at the same time. 30 minutes nets decent calorie loss at a moderate pace. So easy!

i use app called walking for weight loss. its free and can use outside or on a tridmill.

fitnessblender.com is great and free!

I have recently acquired the sciatica again so my main thing is stretching out my back first thing. I am old school though, sit ups with my feet under the couch, squats, push ups, and leg lifts with weights velcroed to my shoes. I am too embarrassed to go to the gym and work out around other people because of the way i walk.

Go to http://thebettyrocker.com/ sign up for the 30 day challenge! It's FREE! 15 minutes a day. She'll send u a workout video each day via email. She's great! I did it last month, June and lost 10lbs! I also walk (brisk pace) at least 4 miles everyday, early morning because it's so hot here in Destin, FL. I had also cut out CocaCola and all carbs, bread, rice, etc. I drink at least 1 16.9oz of water every hour in a day. I also do yoga everyday. If your new to yoga go to www.yogaburn.com. Or YOUTUBE. So i hope this info help if u wanna workout from home. About me: I currently weigh 176lbs. My goal weight 145lbs. I'm 5'6" 46 year old female divorced no children except my crazy 7 month old furrbaby morkie, Pepper. Good luck! Best wishes! Petina

Thanks for posting this video... thumbs up

I do pilates at home when I don't go to the gym or do something else, it worked great when I was just starting.

i love all of sean vigue's vids on you tube!

I like to do step ups, running/walking up and down the stairs, and when im not really feeling it I'll make myself walk or jog while i watch tv for an hour. Something is better than nothing! for more ideas Youtube is a great place to look.

Try this with Dumbbells .8 Romanian deadlifts. 8 deadlift high pulls. 8 squat cleans. Lunge press ups, 4 per leg. Repeat times 5. This was my workout today. Plus swim later .

I understand, sciatica is the WORST! Does your gym have a pool? I find that when it's bad that just kind of leisurely swimming is AMAZING!

Also, do NOT get embarrassed, you're there to get ish done! No one has any right to make you feel that way, and if they do then THEY should be the ones embarrassed.

When I first started my little journey, I had a little at home so getting to the gym was kind of out of the question. I started with the latin Zumba and it was SO MUCH FUN! I lost my first 20 pounds on that, then another 10-15 doing P90X, and then walking at the same time. After I got down about 30-35 lbs I joined the gym and then started running.. now I'm almost 80 lbs down. Just be active, move, run in place. Lol. I kind of want to get one of those little trampolines and jump around while being lazy and watching Netflix.

However much works for you, don't go too heavy at first, I'd recommend if you don't lift at all to start with 10 lb dumbells and even lighter for the cleans... form is SO important, so even if you're doing body weight that's ok, work on form first.[/quote]



sorry about that, yes, whatever you are comfortable with. I use 10-15 lbs, I started out with 5.

I go outside my front door and ride my bike...

Great suggestions! Thanks!
