Sweating out for your body’s benefits can be a tad overwhelming when you don’t have enough discipline to start from. Your busy schedule might prevent you from getting a gym membership or your measly income simply cannot afford you one. The good news is you can do exercises at home and reap the same benefits gym-trained people get from their memberships. There are simple fitness workouts you can follow without an instructor and still burn calories. Determination, hard work and discipline are all you need to make these exercises work for you.
You don’t need expensive equipment to keep your fitness workouts running. Don’t be lured by fancy ads on TV or sale items in fitness stores. Most fitness equipment is are not needed to keep your body toned and well-shaped. If you need to buy equipment, consider your goal and the kinds of exercises that it offers. Expensive equipment does not guarantee better results so make sure you have enough knowledge about its use before you commit to it. For muscle building, a dumbbell set and jump rope are very cheap equipment tools that you can use for your workouts. For higher budget equipment, buying a treadmill is a very worthy investment since it’s a flexible cardiovascular apparatus that can be adjusted to your fitness level as you progress. Another great investment is a fitness ball, which can cost you very little but provides various body workouts.
Other simple fitness workouts that do not involve equipment include running, where it does not only make you fit but allows you to breathe fresh air and meet other runners as well where itso you can be motivated you to keep at on doing it. Running can be physically and mentally exhausting and if you don’t make it a regular exercise then you will feel like it is your first time running every time you hit the tracks. TConvenient and the right running shoes should be your investment in this form of exercise since they will prevent you from getting injuries. and tThey make your running comfortable, too. Walking is another cheap and free exercise where the body and environment can benefit. Outside your regular exercise, walking to your local store or a friend’s house instead of driving saves you from gas expense and saves the environment from additional pollution. Walking at a considerable pace increases your heart rate to 60-70%, which can be good for your heart. Ten minutes into walking signals your body to prepare for fat burning.
Fitness workouts will not be a complete set without exercises that pays homage to your abs. A flat stomach is an enviable sight that both genders work very hard to achieve. Again, advertisements on TV keep bombarding us with sophisticated equipment that promises to do the job while we don’t have to break a sweat. Well, tThat part can be true but success is sweeter with a little sweat. The crunch is the crux of most abdominal exercises. The basic crunch requires lying on your back with your hands behind your head. Bend your knees up and slowly lift your upper body off the ground while feeling your abdominal muscles contract. Feel your muscles work and rely on that for the number of reps you want to perform. When you feel like you are straining your neck then you are not doing the right thing. Perform the exercise with caution to avoid injuries. A well-exercised stomach not only looks good but also provides you with better performance and stronger body.

if you feel like your abs are hurting or in pain then that means the exercise is working even with a pillow down your back, if you dont feel it stretching then its affecting, if its affecting, try putting more than a towel on the floor, like 4 or 5, they shud ease the pain
so not in shape for these . .
try yoga. or push – ups, crunches, sit ups, jumping jacks. Nothing too tough. Make sure you are not killing yourself. You can also try dancing classes or dancing at home to a really good song.
To get SUPER toned you need low body fat in the presence of a well conditioned body. You can achieve this by first sticking with clean whole foods (blueberries, brussel sprouts, broccoli, bananas, chicken etc). Just make sure everything is fresh. No boxed or canned foods. As for your workout I would suggest Function Training as this will lengthen your muscles as opposed to shortening them as is done with weightlifting. This will give you that TALL, SLEEK, TONE MODEL LOOK your seeking.
Some Functional Training Workout Options:
Swiss Ball Full Body Workout

Suspension Training Full Body Workout

Lastly, I found an interesting Bodyfat/Muscle guide (see below) that compares different Super Models/Actresses etc. For Example, Lucy Lawless (Zena-Warrior Princess) outweighs Kate Moss by 45 pounds…yet, they have similar body fat percentages!!!

Good Luck,

Sounds like your already getting the workout.
What's killing you is the food.
And here's the 'oh so profound' advice that worked for me.
"You want to be thin, stop eating like fat people".
You get permanently thin by changing your eating habits. Going on a diet is useless, as are those silly pills.
70% water foods. Fruits, vegies. That's it.
The salt craving means nothing. Salt your food to taste.
You can have a burger or pizza once a week. Not once a day. Tea is a great drink, cola is not. Can you drink cola? Sure, once a week –
Can you have junk food. Once a week.
The rest of the time eat natural unprocessed food. Have a salad for lunch. Dress it with lemon juice instead of 'ranch'.
You don't need to count calories. Good food regulates it's self. No one gets fat from eating too many carrots. It's the preprocessed calorie bombs like jelly donuts that screw up our bodies natural regulation.
This doesn't shed pounds fast, just permantly
If you do different ab exercises it can bring your tummy down.But you really have to work at it to get the results.
thank you tammy. you are fantastic. if i do all of these exercises like 100 times everyday, would it be enough and how quick do you think i will progress?
running builds stamina, but it also destroys your ankles…
anyways, you probably should do at least 25 REAL push-ups per sitting, maybe even more. but then do the army sit-ups. look it up if you don't know it, they're very helpful and sculpt abs quickly. uhm, wall sits are always good for your thighs, they're extremely hard to do for 3 minutes straight, and when you do it, you're tired. but that's a good thing. ;]
if you have a home bench-press it's always good to use that too, you could curl it to get good forearms too.
craigslist, or yahoo personals.
Also, you could try talking to the employees at your gym and let them know of your interest in finding a partner. They might know another beginner and introduce you to them.
when i do exercise#1, i feel pain in the very low part of my back ( just up my butt). Is it a normal result of the exercise? I try putting a pillow where my back is curved but then I don’t know whether really get the benefit from the exercise that way. Any advice?
love the scissor kicks!
great vid, thank you
)
Get a heavy plastic washing line and cut it into jump rope size pieces. You want a heavyish plastic. I skipped for 19 years and tried ALL the latest ones but a washing line was always my choice. The main issue is the surface that you are using to skip on…… for the long term health of your back, ankles, hips and knees keep away from hard surfaces. Try to use a thick rubber mat where possible and stay light on your feet and stretch either midsession or at the end. Look at http://www.ringside.com or http://www.title.com I believe that they have good dvds on skipping? Never look at the floor when skipping. Focuss on something on the wall……. stay with it…. it's an amazing art form.
I really like the scissor kicks.
This video is awesome
I can’t wait to do this every other day! Thank you soo much.
