Exercise at home

I'm watching the biggest loser and it has got me inspired to get fit again.

I can't afford to go back to the gym so want to do exercise at home.

What kinds of exercise do you do at home??

How do you keep motivated??

Haha my exercise consists of me walking up and down the stairs a few times a day    But go you

How much is turbo jam?

THe biggest Loser is on?????? Where?? WHen?? Must watch!

I try to go out on regular walks and Ollie loves it cause I stop at a couple of parks on the way. We have got an exercise bike and also a treadmill but I haven't used it during this pregnancy as have been too tired! Hopefully will get to use them again now that I have regained some energy.

I used to do Walk Away The Pounds, which I found really good! There were 3 dvds, ranging from 1 mile to 3 miles of walking. After a couple of months the chick got on my nerves a bit though!

I walk the kids while they ae on their scooter and Alize is in the pram. I usually do an hour of power walking per day and sometimes we will go out for a walk twice a day. My kids keep me motivated as I can get them out of the house before they kill each others as well as their constant nagging to go. Goodluck!!

Exercise DVD's can be brought off TM pretty cheaply as well. I second what someone said about chicks getting annoying after awhile on video's though, you start knowing exactly what they are going to say and it's a bit frustrating, I'd get 5-6 different ones so you can mix them up a bit!

I do pilates, use a swiss ball and do resistence training at home.

How do I keep motivated? I'm addicted to shows on E! where all the girls are teeny tiny (like I once was). Watching one episode of girls next door is enough to kick start my motivation.

Also I go for fun exercise. I was a gym bunny for years before I had Michaela but time and expense means I can't do that anymore. Instead we walk to a park and I play too (swings are great for butt exercise and monkey bars work on your shoulders and triceps). I recently got a hula hoop and found a hula hoop exercise regime on google (apparently it's all the rage in America). I still enjoy weight training and using the exercise ball so I do both and I love yoga and the extra flexibility it gives me for BD (can't get better motivation than that!). I try and involve Michaela in my exercise regime as much as I can and bought a kiddy yoga DVD so Michaela and I can do it together.

Do you have a library card? You can rent exercise DVD's from the library (for about $4 per week), they have a huge selection, and then once you've found one or two that work for you you can pop onto amazon or trade me and buy it/them.

I try to save the DVD's for colder months and get out in the fresh air as much as possible now.

i lost 30kgs by jumping around the lounge to loud music with my then 2 year old daughter. she loved it! I just promised myself i would not stop moving for an hour. id do star jumps, crazy dance moves, vacuuming while throwing my legs out to the side! id pull some pots and pans out and a spoon for each of us and she'd follow me around the house.. id also do some abdominal/stretching exercises every night on the yoga ball.

just make sure the curtains are closed and the doors are locked to save yourself any embarrassment
