Does Anyone Workout at Home?

I get up at 4:30 Monday thru Friday to get me workout in before I go to work. Only way I can do it. And I cannot workout in a gym or club because it takes at least twice as long due to waiting for the chatty Cathy's to stop talking and get off the machine or weights I need.

I do! I just got a gym membership as well mostly for cardio but before that it was just at home or outside. I've been doing the Jilliam Michaels 30 Day Shred, body weight exercises (squats, lunges, wall sit, push ups, leglifts etc) plus I have weights, a medicine ball and a step at home and with all those things and youtube workout vidoes I can do a lot. I also go for lon brisk walks with some running intervals when the weather is good.

That's all I do is home workouts! 3 kids and a half hour to the closest gym isn't feasible. I try to come up with new things all the time. And I usually break it up. Tag with the kids, kickball, baseball. Anything. Sometimes I just turn up the music and we all dance. Get everyone involved then it doesn't seem so much like work! I do also do workout videos. Jillian Michaels, Beachbody, Zumba, anything that is fun good luck!

Yes. So convenient. Do not have to worry about what I look like in the morning...(Scary) LOL. Saves plenty on gas too.
I use the Nintendo Wii with:
Primarily EA Sports Active 2
and sometimes Wii Fit Plus
Soon to be using NFL Training Camp
Have a variety of Ankle and Wrist weights and dumbells also.

I wish you well on your fitness journey.

Peace

HI!
I work out at home for convience & save money, I live out in the country & its a good 35-45 minute drive to the gym.
Not that I couldnt go to one on the weekends but I cant justify the gym memebrship to only go 1 or 2 days a week.
Find a time in your day when you know you can be consistent, & make that part of your schedual. I have to get up around 4:30 am to work out, then I have animals to take care of & kid to get ready for school before I go to work. after work Im too busy. & theres too many distractions.
I have a treadmill & a bowflex extreme. we also Have Xbox kinect that I do a jillian michaels workout on. (& you cant cheat it makes you keep doing it till your form is right! - turned out to be harder than i thought!) plus I do various calisthetics.
While on the treadmill I listen to music to keep me pumped but ive also found watching sports or even an insanity infomercial helps keep me going. (ive also almost fallen off the treadmill getting so into what im watching that i tried to avoid oncoming runners!) Do stuff that you like to do, keep it interesting & challenging, mix it up. & keep track of what you do, I always try to do more than my previous workout... whatever it was
have a great day!:happy:

I get up before my kids and do 45-60 minutes of cardo most days. As someone else mentioned I too have a ton of workout dvds and rotate them (Leslie Sansone). Some days I'll go walk the neighborhood for the same amount of time. I try to stay on my feet as much as I can throughout the day. I have three kids in superman stage (will try to jump, fly, climb over anything in their path) so staying on my feet isn't too hard. I'm also trying to make good choices so that I can set an example. I really really dont want them to have the same weight struggles I have had so we go walking, or to the park, or for tricycle rides around the neighborhood. So far it's working!

Hey Guys,

Have you ever done tons of crunches and sit-ups?
Have you tried everything to lose that stubborn belly fat?
Do you have a firm grasp on how to gain muscle on the rest of your body?
But You see no results In your body and abs?

If you say yes then you are not alone.
I also suffered from these frustrations when I was having a fatty Belly and Tammy.
I have the solution for the Guys who are trying to have abs, As I was also trying to have the same.

I hope It will help you a lot In many ways.

I'm a home workout girl! I've got my TV set up out in the garage for my DVD's, a weight bench, my dumbbell rack and dumbbells, etc, etc. I find it easier to work out at home because I don't have to leave home. Getting in the car to drive to a gym that I have to pay a monthly fee for and dread going simply because I imagine I look slightly impaired when exercising just isn't my thing. At home, I have the freedom to do what I want to do when I want to do it. As for motivation, every loss fuels me more, so I just go out and get it done.

The Kinect is an absolute miracle. Fun, easy, addictive, and you're burning major calories all the while: especially when dancing (my personal favorite). I'm not a 'gym person', it feels too much like work to me. But thinks like cleaning the house and walking the dog, along with playing video games (with Kinect) mean I get to kill two birds with one stone: workout while having fun / being productive.

Exclusively work out at home. The gym is about 6 steps away from where I'm sitting, so there is no excuse.

I'm doing the 30 day shred right now. I recommend doing a challenge for a set number of days so you can cross them off

I buy fitness DVDs whenever I find them on sale so that I have a variety of workouts (strength training, cardio, dance, yoga, tae bo, pilates, walk programs) and I do not get bored. I spend about $5 a piece for them because I buy the "older" DVDs like 30 Day Shred. I buy fitness DVDs at weird places like TJ Maxx that don't focus on fitness. Or I'll "splurge" on a $10 DVD at Walmart. I invested in 2 sets of hand weights (8 lbs and 10 lbs). I already had a 3 lb set. I have resistance bands, stability ball and jump rope. The only thing I want to add now is a hula hoop.

It can be done and you can get a well-rounded workout without a whole bunch of expensive equipment. Just switch it up at the first sign of boredom. I also workout in front of a mirror. It helps keep me pumped when I see myself pushing through the difficult workouts. Also, it helps me make sure I have proper form on certain moves.

I work out at home a lot. I have a treadmill and an old Total Gym. Also have a very small above ground pool, just big enough to swim in a circle. I work out most days, and don't have a gym membership. I just mix it up: do the treadmill a couple days a week, go bicycling a couple days a week and swim several times a week. Sometimes I do some strength training on the total gym.

I workout at home. All I have is some fitness books and an adjustable dumbbell set. As far as staying motivated, it's hard because it's just me, myself and I but being part of MFP helps me to feel connected.

I don't have time for the gym before or after work so I brought the gym to me. I use workout videos ( I love Leslie Sansone!), invested in a good treadmill and put a tv in the same room with it so I can catch up on "my" shows, an exercise ball and light free weights. Best of luck!!!!!
