Hey guys, I can't really go to the gym with a baby and no time, so what are some good exercises to do at home at night? What is a good weight amount for those hand weights? What routines do you suggest to do with them?

    you should def try Jackie's 40 minute circuit total body workout DVD! she's awesome and she even has a 15 mins total body or she breaks them down into 15 mins butt, abs, arms. I just got it almost 2 weeks ago and she kicks my butt. I use only 3 lbs & 5 lbs weights. Good luck

    I'm not sure where you are from, but the YMCA here has Child Watch that is included in your membership and you can use it for 2 hours a day. When I'm at home, I like to do zumba videos, or if you have a Wii...the Zumba Fitness is a GREAT workout!

    Do you have any exercise videos? I would start off with 3lb or 5lb depending on if you have used them before. You can go to Prevention.com and search for workouts there. They have a lot of strength training and will walk you through how to do them. There is a Nike Training app for smartphones that has a lot of workouts you can do anywhere. Some cable companies have On Demand (may be called something else) where you rent movies, there are also free workouts on there under Exercise Tv. Excercise TV is also online, but I am not sure if the workouts are online. Shape.com may have some good exercises too, but I haven't been on their site in awhile.

    Good luck.
