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

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 personally love the Turbo Jam Cardio Party workouts from Beachbody. At my size, I am burning between 700 - 750 calories in 45 min (according to my HRM). It is hard, fun, and really works up a sweat! Just my two cents. I also have a Wii, and the Just Dance 2 game is totally fun and also lets you work up a sweat! I also have a wide variety of DVDs that I use for workouts:
- Yoga Booty Ballet (series)
- Turbo Fire
- P90 At Home Boot-Camp
- Older Weight Watchers exercise DVDs
- Walk Away the Pounds
- Carmen Electra's Striptease workout (don't laugh... it's a pretty good one!)
etc.0 -

It depends on what level of fitness you are ready for. You said you do some different thing, the bike and so forth. P90X is pretty intense and take and hour or so most day. You need weights or bands. Insanity is all cardio but shorter, it is interval training. It works well, and is like 40 minutes or so, there is Turbo Fire set to cool music with in 1 minute drills mixed in to get your heart rate through the roof. This is my fav. also around 40 minute per day. So look at what you have time for with your kids and situation and what you can put into a workout. If you need any other help I would be glad to help.0

If you have a Wii, then pick up EA Sports Active 2. Great diversity of workouts that you can adjust to your fitness level and goals. Highly recommended.0

My trainerbob.com has some great DVD's (Bob Harper from Biggest Loser) and sometimes they are only $5.00
Jackie Warner DVD's (Target has these) are great
The Biggest Loser
Any 10 minute DVD (the DVD's are sold at Wal-Mart/Target and usually have 5 or 6 10 minute routines)
Invest in a stability ball, jump rope and hand weights. You can come up with some awesome strength training routines with these!
Also the exericse.com site is awesome!0 -
I have been doing taebo for the past 6 weeks and it works great. in just 30 minutes you are pouring with sweat and ur heart rate is going! highly recommend for home!!0

Well done on your weight loss so far :-) I do 'Just dance' on the X Box and wii sports games. It's great coz I exercise with my children and we all love it and have a great time, smiles all round and I loose weight. Can't get better then that.
I also go swimming with my kids. My daughter is 15 so she is able to look after my 7 year old for five mins here and there so I can swim a few lengths. I like to do resistance exercises in the water to, like kicking a leg in the air slowly, holding it and bringing it down. You can do this with your arms too and lots more. x0 -
Not anywhere near as intense as p90x or 30ds. But try leslie Sansone. Walk away the pounds. Lots to choose from.0
