The Get Ripped seres are great esp. get ripped 1000. It is 60mins long. I usually only make it through about 30. I've only done it 3x. My goal right now is to make it through the whole thing. Its great tho. you need light weights and a stepper

working out at home does not require much

Are you in an area where you can go for long walks? That's one option. Exercise tapes are another. Our library has a pretty good collection. Putting on some music you like to dance to is another fun option. Don't worry about form, just move your body.

I have few time for exercise, so I try to do more usual things such as: keep the bottle far away, when I'm thirsty, I have to go to drink, go around while watching TV...

When my kids were babies, I was hooked on exercise videos.

I used the Firm tapes for a few reasons:

• There were many tapes that I could alternate to avoid boredom
  There were different instructors on each, which helped variety
  They used weights for strength
  They used a small box, which didn't require a lot of room. Some vidoes require a lot of space to move around

The company was sold, and they aren't the same as they used to be. Each one requires a new piece of equipment to buy, which I don't like.

But I would consider the points and look for ones that give variety.

I also worked out at 5am before anyone was up. This was the only consistant time of day I have. It's tough to get started, but you get in the habit.

Good luck!

TurboJam is good, too.

hi! I'm Katherine and I'm a stay at home mom. Does anybody know some weight-loss exercises I could be doing at home?

Easy Home Exercises

1. Spin around in a circle like a child

This is 1 of my "secret weapon" exercises that few people know about. What you do is simply spin clockwise, in a circle, with your arms out like airplane wings. Much like what children naturally do. Do 5-20 spins and make sure you only get slightly dizzy... not extremely dizzy.

The purpose of this exercise is to balance out your Endocrine System because it controls your hormones. By balancing the Endocrine System, you balance your hormonal output which leads to better health and an improved chance of losing weight.


2. Hula Hoop

Can you afford a $3 hula hoop? If yeah, then go get one and start twirling it around your waist. Within a year, this will be the rage in the weight loss community. It works great for toning the whole waist and hips area. It's a very efficient exercise. Your eyes will see improvements in your waist within weeks from just this exercise alone.

If you could just do this for a total of 10 minutes a day, that would work well.

One thing you can do with the hula hooping and spinning is to do them during tv commercials. This way, you don't even need to schedule a workout. You just do them during 2 minute tv commercials. Since there's about 22 minutes of commercials for each 1 hour tv show, that's an easy way to get in 22 minutes of working out without making yourself more busy or creating more scheduling hassles.

By doing these 2 easy home exercises, you'll help yourself to lose weight faster with very little extra effort.
