At-home Workouts

Jillian Michaels 30 day shred..... its 27 minutes of working out... 5 of those minutes are warm up and cool down. Its also very efficient and not crazy difficult.

Jillian has a lot of dvd's and I finished her shred now I'm doing the six week 6 pack.

Many of my family members are "shredding" with Jillian and all love it

I just recently started Be Fit in 90, its a free workout video series on YouTube and I love it.
One thing that I did when I was COMPLETELY out of shape was Rodney Yee's Yoga for Beginners. It's a fantastic workout without being overly intense. It's relaxing and something I never got bored off.

Do you have a Wii? I love my EA Sports Active Personal Trainer 2 - it uses a resistance band and an HRM so you can actively see the effort you are putting in during your workout. There are a variety of options- I like the 9 week programme, the "game" sets you differing exercises each day, targeting different body areas and builds up nicely in effort and time over the 9 weeks!

This is also availabe for Ps3 if you have.. it is only $25 dollars at Amazon. This is a very fun workout. The workouts are unlimited! There are many preset workouts, but you can also create your own that range from full body or create to target a specific body part. Comes with a heart monitor and it records calories burned during your workout among many other things that can be tracked. Another plus, is you can incorporate your own music. I never get bored with it! You have many great suggestions, otherwise.

I started using the Nike Training Club App on my Iphone about 2 weeks ago. I do 30-45 min beginner workouts 4 days a week. I also have a heavy bag and some boxing gloves in my garage as well as a step with different heights risers. I warm up before the Nike Training with 10-15 mins alternating between the bag and the step. On the bag I do jabs, min hooks, uppercuts., etc. (with a boxing timer app also on my iphone) and then just stepping up and stepping down on the step to cool down but keep my heartrate up. I can totally relate to you. I am also slightly over 200. In the first two weeks with Nike, the bag and step and My Fitness Pal I am down 5 pounds and 3 inches. I love working out at home. I lock the garage door, crank the tunes and beat the heck outta my bag - SUCH a great stress reliever and pumps you up for the Nike workout too!! GOOD LUCK!!!!

Go to collagevideo.com. You can read reviews and watch clips from *hundreds* of exercise videos. They have all kinds of workouts (step, pilates, high-low, indoor walking, HIIT, dance-based, yoga, etc) for every different fitness level.

I've had great luck finding lots of different challenging and fun workouts there!

I started with jillian michaels 30 day shred. I am in my first level. I like it, it is nice, 25 min, you feel it and is easy to follow up.

Okay here are mine:

I tried 6 week 6pack and was not too impressed (got boring for me)
I love Chalene Extreme (you can do free weights or band with this one)
For cadio I started Turbo Fire and Zumba Exhilirate and love both

You Are Your Own Gym

Convict Conditioning

Bump!

my husband and I did P90X together, religiously for the entire 90 days..neither one of us lost signifigant weight (me-7 lbs) (him-3 lbs)
then we found out that you will only loose weight if you follow their diet too. hmmmm, a workout routein that takes over an hour a day 6x a week and there is no major weight loss? 0- wasn't impressed

So we started doing crossfit out of our home (crossfit.com) it will imtimidate you, you will thnk it is only for the fit people in the world, but I started seeing results immediately - without changing my diet at all. My stomache has slimmed down the most, but I look waaaaay better all over. I've lost over 60 lbs in a little over 7 months. We do it at home, but it was a signifigant investment in gear. Honestly, go to a crossfit gym and try it out. Most of them have a free trial, most of them don't care if you have to bring kids. They create an enviroment of family and support around you. The fittest people will cheer you on, and call you when you don't show up. You WILL LOOSE WEIGHT!!! I promise, but even more amazing, you feel feel more confident and in touch with your body than you EVER have before.

check out where myself and my friends have found our inspiration. we workout together and support each other, I know WITHOUT A DOUBT that I have grown and changed more from crossfit and my support group than I ever could have alone in my basement using a DVD....seriously, you'll be amazed!

i not long had baby n im very unfit n overweight n finding hard to workout or motivae myself,i was told about 30day shred n its best thing ive done ,it really works for me as its only twenty mins and it mixes cardio with strength trainning so u get quicker results also i find hard to do cardio so its nice to do it two minute bursts also its the only exercise programm thats got me out of bed early n excited to do it n ive stuck it out n on level 2 as u start on 1,2 n then 3 u do 10 days on each level

i totally recommend it

In my opinion P90 and P90X should not be used by self proclaimed CREAM PUFF's. It's a great program, and yes you can modify the moves, but in my opinion should be used by people with at least a moderate fitness level and experience. The risk of injury is just too great.

Well I don't go out to the gym so I use My Fitness Coach on the Wii as well as Wii Fit. I have a couple of the Biggest Loser (US version) options but I am a bit scared of Bob and Gillian lol.

I do Zumba, Jillian micheals,walking and will start p90x today. When first started to lose I was 250lbs. Zumba and Jillian micheals are tough but I would do what I could so it's gotten a lot easier. Since I haven't started p90x I can't really say what I can do but I will do what I can and slowly but surely it'll get easier.
