Anyone struggling with at-home workouts?

P90x is an awesome program that has the workouts and diet plan in a nice package. It can't be beat. Just finishing p90x2.

I have a treadmill, an elliptical, go to Curves gym, and I cycle as much as possible. (Cycling burns a ton of calories!) BUT one of my favorite at home exercise equipments is a small trampoline. They are inexpensive (lots of used ones out there) and small, so they fit anywhere. Great for cardio and core. All your muscles get worked out when jumping, and it's simple. There are videos out there for other exercises you can do on them, but just jogging, jumping jacks and basic jumping is amazing on its own. I watch tv while I do it, and just go as long as I can. I even do interval jogging on it -- going as hard as I can for a minute, then a minute easy. (It's also low impact, so better on the knees).
*** And for anyone who thinks it is too easy -- just try doing 5 or 10 minutes if you've never done it. Most people can barely manage a minute! I had to do 1 minute, stop and walk, another minute, stop and walk, until I got stronger. Despite all the cycling I do, my cardio improved like mad only after I started the elliptical.

I'm doing a hybrid of Chalean Extreme and TurboFire. Getting more results than with P90X.

As others have suggested, the Jillian Michaels DVDs are great. 30 Day Shred really helped me, and I'm on to Ripped in 30 now. That, with a few days of week of cardio and lower calorie intake, and you should do great! If you don't have a treadmill, try to find local trails or even a high school track where you can walk/jog.

Yep. NASA did a study on rebounding and showed that it's the most effective aerobic exercise. It's way harder than it seems and fun too!

With my work schedule, at home workouts have been the absolute best for me. I started a number of years ago with a Bowflex. It is a great piece of equipment and I've gotten the value out of it by using a pretty fair amount. Very versatile. Later I switched over to P90X. I can't say enough good things about that program. The concept is effective and you will get results if you follow through with it. By having variability in the workouts, you continue to gain results rather than plateauing. I later added in Insanity for even more variety. At this point, I'm also doing P90X2 and, really just pick the DVD that I want for a particular day. It gives me variety, results and fits with my work schedule. Good luck with your plans!

All my workouts consist of working out at home, or walking/running outside. JIllian Michaels Six Week Six pack is good for toning and strengthens your core. Insanity is a killer cardio workout, Jumping rope burns lots of calories, and I find the Ab wheel works great as well. I also agree with the lifting just introduced this into my routine recently.

I have to do home workouts. I live on a teeny, tiny island and to go into town for the gym costs $10 ferry ride and takes an hour! But the flip side is my island is beautiful and I can go on jogs/walks all the time.

I love my 30 Day Shred video. It is perfect for me. It only burns about 187 cals but it incorporates strength and cardio and abs. The video is only about 25minutes so it is so easy for me to just do it. I do need to get another set of weights besides the wimpy 1 pound ones I have.

I have a stationary bike, space-saving elliptical, a set of dumbbells (3#, 5#, 8#, and 10#), 10# kettlebell, and being delivered tomorrow: a heavy punching bag/gloves. I have a gym membership that I don't use much anymore... I also have a jogging stroller with a LOT of miles on it...

I have several of the Biggest Loser/Jillian Michaels/Bob Harper DVD's too...

I am new to this but so far I am loving the kettle bell. It came with a video and have done it 4 times now. I love it. I feel great when I am done and the muscles that are sore are all of my target areas.
