    Hi-
    This is a 6 week bootcamp style workout, and the moves are similar to what I do with my trainer. It is a good home workout, you will get sore!

    This is the one I am using right now:

    I have an aversion to gyms (membership fees) so do what I can at home ... :)

    This one too!

    I just bought a book "Smart girls do Dumbells" it looks like it might do the trick - meant for home use and needs dumbells, maybe a stability ball and a straightback chair.
    She does benchpresses on the floor, so no need to panic if you don't have a bench...
    She uses "light" dumbells, but I've been doing it with up to 35lbs in each hand (for deadlifts, side bends etc) and lighter 10/17.5 each for arms (which I still suck at!)
    Can't remember the author's name, but search for it on Amazon....
    Another basic dvd is the "Great dumbell dvd" :laugh: Funny name, but really dry and basic stuff with excellent tips on form, and even a few complete workouts that you can follow...
    Good luck!

    Hello,

    I'm a major proponent for body weight workouts. If you're interested, let me know.

    Regards,
