Do you workout at home?

I workout to videos. Sounds cheesy, but that way I know what combination of moves to do, for how long, and the equipment needed to get a full workout.

i do the wii active and other dvd workouts.

I work out at home everyday. All you need is at least one set of weights, a few resistance bands, a mat if you are working out on a hard floor, some good workout DVDs, and a little bit of space.

I'm currently working out to Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. I also have some of Lesley Samsone's "Walk at home" DVD's and several Dance type DVD's. Fun, and very effective.

Good luck. Just keep moving and making your sweat cry! :laugh: :drinker:

I definitely recommend the Insanity program (by Beachbody). I'm new to myfitnesspal but I did insanity about 6 months ago and it starts to show results in like a week...you just have to push through the first week or two of muscle soreness. It's harder than most workouts you could put together yourself at the gym...

it's expensive, but i'm sure you can find a way around that...as I did. Although it's probably worth the high pricetag...

All the other beachbody products are also hugely popular, but I think Insanity is the most effective and it requires no equipment.

Yoga mat and those band thingy majiggers...

I workout at home. I use a manual treadmill for cardio. It folds up so it doesn't take up that much space when not in use. It's also less expensive to buy and no fear of a motor failing that will be expensive to fix. Check a thrift store or craigslist for a good deal on a used one. I'm also planning to buy some free weights from a store called "Five Below". Check out youtube for lots of different workouts; although some are just samples, some are full-length.

I work out at my local community center for $20 a month, and I love it. The equipment is somewhat limited, but really, all I need is the elliptical and treadmill for cardio and I'm good to go. You may want to look into community centers in your local area and see what they have to offer. I went to the brand-new, massive designer gym in my area this morning to check it out and found that it was $200+ just to get registered and "processed"- no thanks. I'll take the 80 year olds at the community center over what I found in that place, any day of the week. At least they are respectful- and they are da** good motivators- if they can work out, I can.
The community center has weights, but I just went to Walmart and picked a set of 15lb for under $30-works for me for when I want to lift in the evenings.
I own Jillian's 30DS, and I respect the woman, but I HATE that video with a passion.
If you have Netflix and/or Hulu, check out their workout videos- I found a great Pilates one that I've been doing once a week or so just to mix it up.
The only workout video that I own that I love to pieces is Gurmukh's Kundalini Yoga- INCREDIBLE workout and she's very airy-fairy to the point that it makes you giggle, but she's not messing around. At the same time, she is very encouraging and soothing. I have had this DVD for a decade and I still love it. I think you can get it on Amazon for $7-8.
Hope that helps.

I like the workout ideas in the "Fitness" section of Pinterest. You can also YouTube at-home workouts or check some out from your library. Not to mention Walmart, Target, and Amazon.com have pretty good deals on workout DVDs, jump ropes, dumbbells, etc.

I have a treadmill and a Gazelle Air Walker but neither are needed to get a good workout at home. I also have a set of bands and some free weights and a whole bunch of DVD's that I use in rotation to keep things interesting. My DVD's range from Tae Bo to Jillian Michael's to Biggest Loser, to Pilates and more. You name it, I've probably got atleast 1 of them all of which I use here of there just when I get bored or need a change.

I also have purchased all the DVD's on sale at K-Mart or on amazon so I didn't pay a fortune for these things.

Zumba!!! Use the 20 minute fitness express. It is great if you only have a little bit of time to work out.
:happy:

I do 10 mins on my stepper and 50 sit ups every day

I have a treadmill, a step, and a BodyBar....the BodyBar I love and highly recommend.

I use the fitness programs on my cable on demand menu, walk around the apartment complex (most of the time pushing the baby in the stroller), play games on the wii (can't wait to have some fitness games besides just the sports games), turn on some music and just dance, and I have borrowed a bunch of my mom's Richard Simmons VHS and DVD's. I'm gonna start riding my husbands bike around the apartment complex when it warms up a little...I figure by then I'll be in better shape to do it. I'm also looking on craigslist for fitness games for the wii and some weights or other things to help me out more too.

I definitely recommend the Insanity program (by Beachbody). I'm new to myfitnesspal but I did insanity about 6 months ago and it starts to show results in like a week...you just have to push through the first week or two of muscle soreness.

I completely agree. If you live in Canada, look on Kijiji to see if you can get one at a deal. P90X is supposed to be as good, but I love Insanity. It kills me, but you have to push through! I have lost 8 lbs in the first month and I wasn't eating the healthiest.

since you've already been in the gym, this may be too easy for you, but for somebody like me (who has not worked out in about 2 years), it is perfect. I got the *****cat Dolls "A Dancer's Body" workout dvd and I love it! It's slightly cheesy, but fun. It is not difficult, but it still make me move and strike up a sweat. It may be too easy for you and you may be looking for more strength building, but it is a fun way to do a light workout.
