Impact Home Gym

If you have some, how often do you go on it (use it) and what type is it? I have a full gym with weights and everyting, but seeing that I am pregnant, it's getting a lot of dust on it now. Though I pick up my cross trainer tomorrow. So excited!!! Great low impact workout...I think i'll go on it every day,!! (well for at least for the next few weeks)

I use the equipment I have at home several times a week. A lot of it depends on the weather outside. If it's nice out, I'd rather go run a few miles outside than do something inside.

I live in a small apartment, so I don't have any fancy equipment, but what I have is more than enough to provide a good workout and keep me in shape. For strength training, I have several sets of free weights and resistance bands. Combined, one can do lots of different exercises and they don't take up much room. I also have some exercise tapes, a step, and a mini stair stepper for days when the weather isn't so great out. I also have a yoga mat and some accessories for yoga and pilates.

The equipment I have is cheap, small, but one can still stay in good shape without all the fancy equipment or having to go and pay for a gym membership.

have you tried using an exercise ball, its fun and you can do it while you watch tv...

they usually come with a chart of stuff to do, but pretty much any thing you do with it even if its just playing will make you active and be fun at the same time!

i cannot afford to go gym, and it's been nearly a year since i have started working out at home. i have brought a set of dummbells and its really been helping me out, i also do any excercise possible to keep me fit, and i've seen an increase in weight as im quiet slim and vegeterian.

i was wondering is it a big difference not going to the gym and working out at home. Can i still make the same impact on my body as people do working out in gyms?

any tips on working out at home i can do better?

No lie the best advise i can give is check out:

As much as I'd love to have 30 minutes per day to go out walking, I neither have the time to do so, and I definitely don't have the money for equipment or a gym. As a mom with full time college classes, and work almost full time, I just don't have the luxury of a lot of time to exercise.

So, what are some exercises that I can do at home that are low impact and only take a few minutes per day to lose weight and increase burning of calories?
Please, I'm looking for exercises that won't require jumping (need LOW IMPACT), and don't require me to purchase anything.
