ANY SUGGESTIONS ON OTHER EXCERSISES I CAN DO OTHER THAN ZUMB

I have tried a few of the on-demand exercise videos. They range from 10-30 mins, and they are all different kinds - stretching, yoga, zumba, etc.

I also really like the Biggest Loser DVDs, they are pretty cheap, and a good workout at home!

the library has exercise videos you can check out for free. i bought 30 day shred which i've done a few times and it seems to give me a good workout and its only 25 min.

FWIW - I work from home and sit all day long in front of my computer. I have dogs I have to walk, so that guarantees me at least 45 minutes of outdoor exercise, no matter the weather. :-) But that's not enough for me to burn the kind of calories I need to burn, my house is too small and my wallet not large enough to accommodate any equipment at home. But I definitely need to take breaks and I'd like to burn some calories on those breaks. So what I'm going to do is dance. I've got an iTunes playlist that has only music I can move to, and I'm going to try to keep moving for three songs. Then I'll sit back down and go back to work for another couple of hours, then I'll dance some more. At least - that's my plan. I figure if I just keep moving for awhile, several times a day, that's gotta be good for me. :-)

I do zumba on my wii and other dance games & my wii fit
I have also the biggest loser dvds (cardio max, weight loss yoga, bootcamp)
I also have the SWAT dvds
if you want dvds best place for that is Amazon.com

when the weather gets nicer jump rope, running, jogging walking is awesome

treadmill have one?
challenge yourself when doing laundry walking up the stairs/run instead

squat/lunge when your sweeping/coming upstairs

looks funny but any movement you do to keep moving is priceless and will help ya get to your goal


:embarassed: I even dance with my broom :embarassed:

Sometimes hubby will grab me and dance too

I didn't find any on Netflix - would appreciate names of some that are on there.

You need the DVD package (which I no longer have) to get many of them. But there are several that are available to stream. On your computer search "Sports and Fitness" in the search field and a bunch should come up. Many are Crunch Fitness ones...you won't find Jillian Michaels or P90x on there.

Not sure if this link will work, but here are the options for streaming videos....

I'm in love with Jillian Michaels video's. Loved 30 Day Shred and lost 16 inches in that month! Now on Ripped in 30 and am noticing some huge differences. Good luck sugar!

I work in an office and on my 5 or 10 minute breaks, I will do squats, calf raises or pushups against something. If you have stairs, throw a few laps up and down those, too... remember the chubby dog on the Super Bowl commercial who kept dropping the ball down the stairs, retrieving it, going back upstairs and dropping it again? Every bit helps.... :]

-Squats
-Lunges

Jillian Michaels DVD's (excellent) 30 minute affective workout routines.
