I quit my gym 6 months ago for the lack of time (or so I say) - kids, their clubs and social life, FT job leave me wiped out. I feel though that I need some exercise and have thought about 'joining' my DH's basement gym :) . It's basically just a bench with tons of weight. I wonder if doing strength training there would be enough. Does anyone have any experience working out at home? What do you do, how often, what routine? Thanks!
I have a home gym and really enjoy using it. I do have cardio equipment which makes it easier to get a total workout. If you think you're serious about using a home gym I would highly suggest investing in a piece of cardio equipment that you really enjoy using. In the meantime, do you have a television in the room or can you move a portable one in there with a VCR or DVD player. I would take a trip to the library and rent a lot of different workout videos. There are a lot of really good ones and you can get a very good workout. Do you have cable tv? Fit tv has lots to choose from and you can tape them and do them when you can.
I may look for that Leslie Sansone video; thanks! I checked out a couple of her basic ones from the library recently, and enjoyed them. My knees haven't been cooperating too much lately, so I was looking for some lower impact things to do, thus the video.
