Personally, I prefer exercising in the comfort of my own home. This way I don’t have to deal with sweaty gym smell or extreme heat or cold outside. I’ve used several different DVDs with walking, pilates, etc. But my favorite is Jessica Smith‘s videos on YouTube. She somehow manages to make the workouts as fun as exercising can be.. even though working out will never be on my list of favorite activities.. anyway, I highly suggest checking out her videos. There are several varieties, so you are very likely to find something that will work for you! Plus, she has an adorable french bulldog that makes a cameo in several videos 🙂
Here are just a few that I’ve tried and loved:
Other free ways I work out include: playing “Just Dance” on the Wii, taking the dog for a walk, and I also count giving the house a good cleaning as exercise!
What are your go-to workouts?
I’ve used Jillian Michael’s ’30 Day Shred’ at different seasons during the last couple of years. By no means do I keep up or do everything she does. But I still see results when I’m consistent with it. Thanks for sharing via Family Fun Friday.
I’ve never tried her workouts.. I’ll have to look into it, though. Thanks for stopping by!
The “dance party” sounds like fun! Definitely a good way to disguise cardio 🙂
For me, I am mainly a runner, but I also make strength training circuits (similar to bodyweight CrossFit) that I post on my blog. My favorite DVD is Jillian Michael’s Ripped in 30… kicks my tail everytime! Thanks for sharing on the Pin It Party!
Yes, the dance party is really fun! I like workouts that don’t feel like I’m actually exercising 🙂
I’ll have to check out the ripped in 30, I haven’t used that one before.
Thanks for stopping by!
I have tried tons of online workouts–I like to mix it up! You should also check out the fitnessta.com for her winter shape up going on right now!
Yes, I like to mix it up too! I get so bored doing the same workout over and over. I’ll check out the link you recommended. Thanks for stopping by and sharing!
Huh, this sounds interesting. I agree for the whole home workout thing…sometimes it’s nice just to be able to take a quick break and get back to what you were doing before! I’m bookmarking this so I can come back to it when I get a VPN (China=no Youtube)
Yes, it saves time working out at home too because you don’t have to factor in the drive to the gym! Thanks for stopping by and bookmarking!
