Does anyone have a work out plan that I could barrow that doesn't include going to a gym. I have about 3 weeks before I can enroll in a gym and i really need something to keep me going. thanks

    Try bodyrock.tv - internet site with daily workouts (usually) - they are free, and pretty good.

    If you're an outdoors person try walking/running in your neighborhood or park. I personally use DVDs and wii games, such as zumba and just dance. I also have a stationary bike and free weights. You can check youtube.com for free videos too.

    I walk 20 minutes during my lunch break at work.. brisk walking should get you a full mile (I mapped mine with google!)

    Hey there :)

    I really enjoy doing aerobics dvd's, I usually do a different one each day, just to change it up a bit, I burn roughly 500 calories when I do them for 45 minutes :) Either that or a girlfriend and I go for a 5 kilometre walk, at a brisk pace, we burn over 400 calories!! The DVD's are great, because you can do them at home, at whatever time, rain/hail or shine, and I find I get more out of them than when I go to the gym (which is only about 320 calories burned).... Hope that helps xx

    If you have a Wii there is the biggest loser challange. I am up at 5 every morning working out with Jillian yelling at me it's great... Didnt think a video game could keep you motivated.. lol :laugh:

    Hit the pavement! Go for a run/walk/jog/trot and end up at a park to do lunges/squats/pushups/pullups. Grab some friends to play ultimate frisbee. Hike. Bike.

    The Beachbody programs work great at home. They even come with an exercise band to help out. Cheaper than a gym. There are also a ton of exercise DVD's on Netflix if you have a way to watch them.
