    Get the Insanity dvds. They are very intense but work great!

    Dips, burpees, push ups, planks, anything on a stability ball, yoga, belly dancing.

    Jillian Michael's "30 Day Shred" (LOVE IT)
    And get some active games for a ps3, wii, etc. Those are actually really fun!
    I'm also doing "Mean Ab June" even though it's July.

    I really like my resistance bands and step. I do an Isodynamic excerise routine developed my Ron Williams from his Faith and Fat Loss Program. Bascially is consist of a combination of cardo and strenght trainig.

    I do the Isodynamic routine three days a week like Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Then on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday I do something simple like walking, hike, or dance.

    I like Jillian Michaels DVD's. I have completed 30 Day Shred and am currently working on 6 week 6 pack. My husband has done p90, p90x and is starting Insanity. We also both just started Couch to 5K which you can do at home if you have a treadmill.

    you can never do enough lunges, every chance i get, i lunge all over my yard sometimes in stores i will lunge down the isles to mix up the shopping a bit, love the looks i get, when i lunge past someone. the wife thinks i am a weirdo. plus the heat rate sky rockets after about 15 lunges.

    Look up 'plyometrics' on the internet, but choose a beginners workout, it's quite intense

    if you have kids then invest in hula hoops, they are great fun trying to use them but when you do get the hand off them you use so many muscles that they work good luck

    DVDs are great for working out at home. If you're not sure you want to buy any just yet, see if your local library will let you borrow some. It's nice to try them out and see what you like first. While you're there, the library probably has several books on exercise that you can get ideas from.

    I also recommend jump rope if you can get outside or in a garage. I wouldn't do it indoors, but it is perfect for staying at home.

    nikkijean1124, I noticed the weight you're at and your goal weight is very close to mine.
    I loved the Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds DVDs. They are easy to follow, offer at least 2-3 workouts per DVD and are affordable.
    I got them inexpensively at Walmart. I like how she offers three workouts of different lengths to fit your time constraints. She has low and high impact. Try them out! and good luck to you.

    I freakin' LOVE the Bodyrockers! I use that kind of high intensity circuit training a couple times a week to supplement my strength training. Bodyrock on!
