Home workouts

Carpet can be tough to manage, there seems to be more "drag" than on a bare floor. I lay puzzle mats down over my workout area. I don't know if the mat just reminds me to pick my feet up, or if there is actually less drag. Either way, I seem to have better luck.

YouTube has lots to offer. Jessica Smith TV is one of my favorites.

Been there. I started a new job a year ago that absolutely killed my diet and workout routine.

I've used Fitnessblender.com for almost all of my video workouts. You can find them on YouTube for free, as well. They have programs you can purchase for small fees or just use their free stuff. I've really liked what they have to offer.

Good luck!

I concur... fitness blender is awesome. Youtube has lots of good stuff if you're not into fitness blender.

I workout at home on carpet barefoot. I do stuff like Turbo Jam, Tae Bo, The Firm, Shaun T...I lift free weights at a gym, so my home workouts are mostly cardio, but I do some with dumbbells.

I like Lesley Sansone’s 3 mile walk home work out as it incorporates aerobic moves and Joe Wicks Body Coach HIIT workouts.

Hello. The gym I started going to closed just as I was about to join for Zumba only classes. I really loved them. My fiancé found some classes online which lead me to www.dancefitwithjessica.com. I stream live classes and have access to archived classes for only 20 per month. She has videos posted on YouTube which will give you an idea of what her classes are like. There are a few different teachers, but I think Jessica is the best. She also sales DVD workouts and supplements . I really like doing the classes at home and I’m satisfied with the caliber of her classes.

I cancelled my Fitness First gym membership around 6 weeks ago as I just wasn't getting to go enough, especially after having my third child last June.

When I started back getting serious about eating better and exercising in January we bought the Just Dance 2018 Nintendo Switch game and I began dancing almost daily either with the kids or by myself for at least an hour using sweat mode to roughly track calories burned. I lost many pounds doing that so decided to seriously look into working out at home more so I wouldn't have to leave the baby and juggle around my husband's own work and gym routine.

I signed up for Les Mills on demand and it's the best thing I've done for my fitness as I really only used to do classes in the gym and it's got a huge variety of my favourite body pump and body combat classes which I'd missed attending so much and so much more which I'm yet to explore! It's well worth the £9.99 a month which is less than half the cost of my gym membership.

I bought myself a barbell and weights for body pump and I alternate this with combat so I'm now working out six days a week with Sundays usually being my rest day. The music and trainers on the videos are so motivating and I don't really miss the class atmosphere.

I do however attend a soca combat class at my previous gym every other Monday evening on a pay as you go basis as I love the music, dimmed lighting and carnival atmosphere plus I find it particularly hard to motivate myself on Mondays for some reason I see it as a treat to myself.

Loving working out at home now and feel that I've found a great balance. I particularly love it when my 7 year old son looks at me in awe lifting weights and says "keep going mum! You're doing great!" It keeps me going better than any rabid instructor shouting at the class ever did- haha!
