those who workout at home

I have a home gym that I have been working on over time. As the father of 3 busy kids, it is nice to go down to the basement instead of making the trip to the gym.

There are several ways of doing it. The cheapest and most space efficient way to do it is to get some resistance bands. You can pretty much adapt most exercises so that they work with the bands. Any strength training routine (from p90x to new rules of weightlifting for women) should be doable with the bands.

My gym is fairly extensive and includes a bunch of different varieties of weights from barbells to dumbells to cable pulley machines to med balls to resistance bands. I consider the resistance bands a very important part of the gym and you can easily do very well with just the bands.

I can do the new rules of weight lifting with bands?

I love the p90x dvd's and when I don't feel like doing that, I just search on youtube for workouts!

I have a treadmill, a doorway pullup bar, and a mat. Everything I need.

I do progressive calisthenics.

I've worked my pushups up progressively harder and have mastered the one arm pushup. It is my bench press replacement. I'm currently taking a break from them but next I'm going to start working toward plyo one arm pushups and pseudo planche pushups.

I started on wall handstands and have worked up to handstand pushups. Next I'd like to learn to press up, but I need to get to tuck planches first ,a current focus of mine.

I started on chinups and pullups, worked them up, now I'm working on front levers, back levers, and one arm chinups.

I started with crunches, planks, and bicycle crunches, worked up to L-sits and leg lifts, now I'm working on dragon flags.

I started with frog stands and dips, and am currently working toward a tuck planche with the ultimate goal of doing a full planche.

I started with low bridges and supermans, now I can hold a full bridge (wheel in yoga), working toward a stand to stand bridge.

I started with wall sits and BW squats, today I'm doing pistol squats and hill sprints outside, working toward shrimp squats and plyo pistols.

I also do a modified crossfit cindy workout for endurance, 50 chinups, 100 pushups, 150 bw squats as fast as I can do it (still takes several sets).

On recovery days (3x strength, 3x running) I do the Yoga X video.

I got a membership to Fitness Magazine, and I cut out the workouts that are inside and made a binder for myself. So many of these workouts offer GREAT strength building guides! I've shredded size off of my arms just doing a few basic moves, and I also use Nike Training Center app on my iPod! These do all sorts of workouts that really push you! I do hardly any running, but am still seeing results! I also do Hot Yoga 4-6 times a week! Good luck with the at home! I have two kids, so I have to be up early to do my workouts before they wake, or I'll drag!

Look up BodyRockTV on youtube. All the workouts can be done at home. They have the equipment on their website, but if you're creative enough you can find alternative things in your house to use.

I workout at home and have had tons of success. I do mat pilates with dvds every morning, and I do cardio on the elliptical 5 days a week and I lift free weights 4 days a week. For cardoi, which I hate and get really bored with, I do HIIT, tabata(more intense but shorter form of HIIT), and steady state. When I do HIIT, I go for 16 minutes including WU and CD. When I do tabata, it only takes 10 minutes, and when I do steady state , I do 20. I do circuit weight lifting, where I move from exercise to exercise without stopping, and after I've done all exercises, I take a 3 minute break. Then I repeat two more times. That also really gets my HR up. I do have a lot of free weights ranging from 2lb to 20lbs. I only use the heavy ones now that I have learned that lifting heavy will not make me bulky.

I work out at home I've got 3 DVDs: Jillian Michaels 30ds, Hannah Waterman Body Blitz and Davina Ultimate Targets

I don't have a gym membership for several reasons.

But basically I prefer working out at home. I have dvd's, dumbell/weights, and I go running/jogging outside often. I also walk a lot in my day-to-day life so basically I don't need the additional cost and time suck of getting to/fro the gym. Works for me!
