Anything you can fit in!
Or, playing with the kids! Running around with children will burn TONS of extra calories, and it will be fun for you and the kids.0 -

jillian micheal 30 day shred look up 30 ds in the forums0

Bodyrocktv.com has some great videos. Or often I set up some circuits and do several body weight or dumbbell exercises back to back with bursts of cardio mixed in. Really gets your heart rate up and burns some calories!0

I do bodyrock.tv and I LOVE it! The workouts are about 15-30 minutes long and there is a huge database of workouts to choose from. Its free, you can use your own bodyweight. Its really awesome!0

Me to, really hardcore, kinda sore, freakin love it!!!!0 -
Sounds like maybe you should invest in some workout dvds. Some libraries have workout dvds available. Most movie stores have a fitness section for movie rentals. Also you can usually find cheap workouts on amazon or ebay. i also like swapadvd.0

I just started 30 Day Shred! Sore but loving it! Zumba for the wii was my work out of choice till 30d. Lot's of fun and the kids can do it along with you. Good luck, and always make it FUN!0

I'm also a P90X girl! I have gotten good results and like the variety of workouts! I don't get bored as easily that way0
-
Squats, lunges (forward/backward/side), burpees, push-ups, jumping jacks, windmills, shadow-boxing, front/back/side kicks, mountain climbers, etc. The list is endless. Anything that gets you jumping, bending, twisting is good.0

Lauren Brooks - She has a kettlebell work out series that just rocks. Its what i do at home while two young children run around screaming haha0

I like the Davina DVDs and I have a stability ball. I also have a weighted hula hoop, a bicycle and love getting outside when the weather is nice. Have a nice little dumbell set as well. Swimming is one of my favourites and it's something you can either do with the children or a lot of places have a creche. Either that or late night swimming xx0

Get Wii Fit, if you already have a Wii.0

A good free one unless you have a one level is stair climbing. I did 63 up/downs on a 15 foot staircase in my home. Took me 30 minutes and 945 stairs but what a cardio workout! Great for your calves too!0

Oh how I hate burpees but they are a fantastic total body exercise.0 -
Zumba on the WII. I also hear the Xbox is pretty good too but I haven't tried it yet. Its a lot of fun an a great workout. If you dont have a WII I think you can get the exercises off you tube too.0

Turbo Fire! Chalene is very motivating and she actually has real people who lost weight doing the video with her.0

I'm learning all the new dances by watching youtube...Zumba, Cupid Shuffle, The Wobble...etc.0

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, and Ripped in 30. I am a single mom of three kids, going to the gym is next to impossible. Even on days it could happen, my boys don't want to be sitting in a gym daycare while I workout. P90X is a great program...but it is 60 to 90 minutes a day. 30 minutes workouts fit better into my schedule, and I am more likely to do them. I could often talk myself out of 90 minutes of yoga...but if I know I will get a good quick workout in 30 minutes...I'm much more likely to do it. I run three days a week, walk one day, and do Jillian videos two to three days a week. It has been working for me. I'm not getting burnt out...and I am losing weight.
Good luck to you!!0 -
There are a ton of free workouts on youtube besides bodyrock.tv there is popilates and zwow. You can just type in workouts and it pulls up a ton of workouts
Or,invest in some cheap workout videos from the thrift store or walmart has them cheap. Good luck!0 -
I just started Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30, and WOW!! That's one serious DVD workout!0
