    I do my yoga at home. It doesn't require anything but my $15 sticky mat and it gets as intense as I want to make it. My husband has a home gym sorta thing that cost $300 at Sears 15 years ago and it serves pretty well.

    I solely workout at home! I'd say that what you need depends on what type of exercise you are looking to do. What were you doing at the gym?

    i am unable to do them now because of a back injury, but back in the day i did step aerobics. find 3-4 that you really like so you will have a variety and go for it. if you are beginning, there are usually instructions to do them without a step bench as well

    also, if you are doing weights, record your favorite tv show and do them while watching. makes the time pass fast

    good luck :happy:

    I do Wii Fit or Zumba 2 for the Wii. I also go outside and run around my neighborhood. I do jumping jacks and this 8 minute ab workout I found on YouTube - http://youtu.be/44mgUselcDU

    I also just bought 30 Day Shred yesterday, so I will be doing that for a while.

    I have a Whole Arsenal of DVD'S:

    P90X
    P90X2
    Insanity
    Insanity: The Asylum
    Chalene Extreme
    Tony Hortons One On One DvD's
    TurboFire


    My favorites are Insantity; The Asylum and P90X.

    Chalene Extreme Is a more female oriented version of p90x, but I still enjoyed it

    Insanity can be very hard on the body when you jump in to the second month of cardio routines.

    TurboFire also kicks *kitten* if you enjoy more of the cardio/Kickboxing routines.

    I have not finished P90X2 yet but it kicks major butt also.

    I tried the gym, but it just wasn't for me. Now I work out with Kinect at home. I also have a couple of DVDs, 5 and 7 pound handweights and a park across the street for walking when weather permits. I live in an apartment so as soon as the pool opens up for the summer, I'll be out there too. Last summer, I did water walking and a lot of resistance exercises in the pool.

    I always workout at home. I am a shy person & hate people watching me. I do Zumba 7 days a week. It's made me lose weight so fast & it's way better than anything I have ever tried. So far I have lost 24lb (11kg) and am down from a size 20 to a size 14. Have not been that size in 20 years. I can easily burn 375 calories in 30 mins. You should try it, it's worth it.

    I do work out videos at home, I really like the ones by Jillian and do a 5k run everyother night on the treadmill now that it's so cold out. I also do classes at the fitness center, but they get expensive too.

    I get bored quick with videos. I use youtube, workout applications on my phone or search the net. I also have a jumprope, kettlebells, weights (5-10lb), I have workout wii games, a treadmill and elliptical. There are lots of things you can do at home and still have a great workout.

    I would say get some dumbbells and a copy of 30 day shred and go for it. It makes for a great work out, as it gets easier increase the weight of the dumbbells you are using. You can also find cheap home gyms and treadmills on craigslist.

    Hope this helps.

    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.

    Teehee... they edited my post... but it is not bad

    Wii- EA sports active 2 and nfl training camp..both use the same 2 straps (one on your arm, one on your leg) and totally are awesome (for me)...there's a HRM in the armband that is fairly accurate and even tell the calories burned, plus there's 20-60 day courses you can do...really helps to get me going knowing that I dont want to have any missed workout days!

    The library is full of workout DVDs. Bollywood, Bellydancing, P90X, etc. Go wild with it! I also like to hula hoop to my fav TV show.

    Currently doing Turbo Fire DVD's, have thrown in some Brazil Butt Lift too. I also have Netflix instant watch and have checked out a few of their DVD's. Through garage sales, I also have a pilates machine, a dance barre and an old exercise bike. Next, I'm either going to get ChaLean extreme or Insanity as I travel a lot for work and can't bring a ton of equipment with me.
