For many looking to join the world of the physically fit, it is not a matter of willpower, but rather the apprehension of having to join a gym to do it. Popular home fitness programs like the P90X, Slim in 6 or Turbo Jam can be the perfect answer. These programs allow you work out in the comfort of your own home with all of the benefits of a gym program.
Provides Privacy
The ability to work out in your home and not have to fear humiliation is a huge benefit over traditional gym programs. You can start out at your own pace and it does not matter how silly you look when you first start because no one can see you. Working out at home with systems similar to P90X or Turbo Jam also eliminates the possibility of having personal items stolen while you work out whereas at a gym, this occurs often and there is often no recourse.
Eliminates Expenses and Contract Hassles
Most gym programs require a signed contract that commits members to up to a year or more of expensive monthly dues. With the purchase of a home fitness plan like Slim in 6 or Turbo Jam, you spend the money once and can use it for as long as you would like. The costs of programs like these are often less than one month at a fitness facility. When you work out at home, you have the added benefit of working out when you want to rather than when the gym is open.
No Facility Concerns
At home fitness programs like Hip Hop Abs or P90X allow you to work out in a space that you are comfortable and on equipment that you know is safe. Since fitness facilities exist to make a profit, some of them attempt to save money by lagging behind on the maintenance of equipment. If left long enough, this can eventually lead to accidents and injuries.
Another benefit of home exercise programs is that you do not need to be concerned with the cleanliness of the equipment you are using. Even at the most diligent facilities, germs become an issue simply because all good gyms are busy and busy gyms mean many people using the same equipment.
Home workout systems like P90X and Slim in 6 offer benefits that a traditional gym cannot. The convenience and comfort associated with home systems even make it easier to make a long-term fitness commitment. For those looking for a healthier stronger body, home exercise systems are the ideal option for exercise.

Help answer the question about home fitness
On home fitness equipment, does the "Calories Burned" counter show exaggerated numbers for marketing purposes?A friend told me that the "Calories Burned" indicators show inflated numbers, with no basis in reality, because the manufacturer wants the consumer to think that particular machine is helping them burn lots of calories. Is this true, or a conspiracy theory?

Hey Tammy, my lower back hurts while I do the 2nd and 3rd exercise. Do you know why?
no offense but this woman is too thin and gangly!
For my home gym, I consulted with http://www.homegymconsulting.com/, Kris DeMarco really helped me optimize my personal home fitness retreat and helped me get started in the right direction.

Walking and doing housework is the best exercise for losing fat and ensure that your diet does not include any high calorie foods. Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. From http://myweight.info
All you need are dumbbells. Use light dumbbells to make the treadmill harder. You can also do high intensity interval training like that. Then with heavier dumbbells you can do a full body basic weight lifting routine a couple times a week to tone your muscles. Don't worry, you can't bulk up without steroids. You will gain some muscle, but you won't look big at all. It will also help you gain bone density and keep your joints healthy. This will help you avoid osteoperosis and stiff joints when you get older.
I do like elipticals. I do my intervals on those. You just switch between a high and low setting. Why not get get both. Adjustable dumbbells are cheap anyway.
running
google: High Intensity Interval training . its meant to burn fat!
i dont think so
Lysol was the best answer if you don't wish to get your hands wet. If you don't mind, then try a bucket of water w/bleach and your favorite scented anything after. Wipe down EVERYTHING on the bike especially those things you believe may be hosting the scent. Use VERY hot water so that it dries rather quickly. Then spray it with your favorite scented spray or wipe it down with your favorite scented oil.
very nice video and it doesnt have to have lot of stuf i like it
def agree w/ you
i weigh 134 pounds, which is overweight for my height
i’m going to start this today also
I suggest an exercise bike, because you can work out at a high intensity on it while watching TV, it provides a good workout for your lower body, and you can find them at whatever price fits your budget. Another good choice would be an elliptical trainer, but these tend to be more expensive. You can set the incline and resistance on these to specifically target thighs or hip. Here is a good intro to choosing an elliptical trainer:

I wouldn't suggest a treadmill, because it would be hard to run on it unless you devote your full attention, and if you walk on it at a lower intensity, it probably won't help very much in toning your lower body.
Wii Fit is about $100 and comes with the balance board. If you don't already have a Wii, that will run you about $250. I don't know of any other home fitness video games.
wow i need to start this thx 4 putting this up
The Total Gym is one. I think I've seen it advertised at Walmart or Kmart for a semi-reasonable price, at least it was less than what I paid for it. There is another called the Cross-bow by Weider that is very similar to the BowFlex at http://www.iconfitness.com/ this place sells all kinds of exercise equipment at a reasonable price.
I paid $600 for my treadmill, but I got mine at Dick's Sporting Goods. The only way to get good stuff cheap is to check out your local papers in the classifieds for anyone who is selling stuff.
Its not like usual abs workout.I really loved it doing.
Thanks Tammy.
I don't like gyms…even if they were free, I would not go there. Everybody's sweating in the same room and I cannot really be comfortable in front of strangers, sweating as well.
Gyms are only good if you're very strong and need a lot of heavy, expensive different machines or you need to be part of a class to get the motivation from a group (I do fine by myself).
I'm just an average woman so all I need is a good neighborhood, a stationary bicycle and some weights (and also my thigh master and my abs bar and my push-up handles…I have very thin wrists)…and a big sturdy piano bench I use as a weight bench.
At home, I do not have to drive there and I can do my abs in my underwear…
On my cardio days, I use an old DP Air Gometer, which is a stationary bicycle with upper body exercise.
It's bulky and noisy but I get the best cardio workout on it, watching TV full blast…cardios plus lower and upper body workout.
(I have a five day routine that I just repeat…walk, cardio, walk, rest, weights, walk, cardio, walk, rest, weights)
does it really work?
