  • I have lost 50+ without stepping in a gym. I highly recommend fitnessblender.com. Great workout vids that really get you sweating and toned. You can find ones from 5 mins to 90 mins depending on your time. Great blend of tabata,cardio,strength training. Once I got more fit, I started running and love it! Good luck!
