When I babysit all day I incorporate the kids by chasing them around the yard. I'll also have them sit on my feet while I do leg raises, and they love it. A nanny friend of mine just gets the kids to do Wii fit or other videos with her.
There is an app called Workout Trainer that will let you select a workout based on how much time you have and what intensity level you want. When I only have a few minutes I'll do 8 minute abs or 10 minute pilates.0 -
I cant go to the gym either. I mostly use Jillian DVDs. But I also do kickboxing DVDs and I used to ride my exercise bike a lot.0

Okay, in all truth the workout you do at home is really not THAT important. 90% of the population will get 80% of the way to their goal by eating right (maintaining a 20% calorie deficit) and doing moderate exercise three times a week. You won't get really lean or ripped, you won't have a six-pack set of abs, but you'll definitely fit today's classification of "trim".
What is most important is that you are consistent in your diet and your exercise, and that you continue to reassess your goals and progress over time. For example, if you lose 20 lbs you need to reevaluate your caloric intake and revise it downward.
So find a fitness program for home that A) you like, and you will be able to continue without growing bored of it. Jillian Michaels, Zumba, Wii Fit...... whatever suits you best.
Once you get to that last bit where you really want to look athletic, then you have to commit to something more rigorous and be disciplined about it.0 -
I do Wii Zumba as well (absolutely LOVE it) - and I do some kettlebell & body weight routines I found on myomytv.com they're absolutely amazing!! On my rest day I normally just pop in a pilates dvd, and do that.
do u know how many calories you burn doing the kettlebell swing? and what weight kettlebell do u use? there doesnt seem to be much info about them anywhere. ps - wii zumba is brill especially zumba2, proper gets me sweating lol0 -
I've always enjoyed Power 90. Not the P90x because I could never seem to get to that extreme fitness level! I started with Phase 1/2 and eventually worked my way up to Phase 3/4, even that took me a long time to do. It's about 1/2 hour long.. it tells you to do it 6 days a week, however, I did it 5 days a week.0

Any of Jillian Michaels' dvds.0

I have beach body: turbo fire (great cardio), p90x, and insanity
Also a great cost effective but kick butt workout is supreme 90 day. Only $19.99 at best buy or at the S90 day on-line site.0 -

I love Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I just got it and am on Level 1 Day 4. The first day was so hard. I couldn't believe how out of shape I am. My body ached for days after. I had to take several days off after doing Day 1! But I have pushed through to Day 4 and I have improved in just 3 workouts. It is amazing.
I am going to do all 30 Days. I hope I have good results! She does work you out for 22 hard minutes!
After this I might check out Insanity. But that one seems like it has a lot of wrist/hand on floor exercises. I have delicate wrists! Ouch.0
