That's a good one, you can choose which part of the body you want to focus on, and then you can choose the length of the workout, from 5 minutes to an hour, and it rotates through exercises in 30-second intervals. It includes things like squats, lunges, jumping jacks, push-ups, different variations of crunches, etc. Good when you're short on time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848522 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:16:00 +0000 brownie 848522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really liked Jillian Michaels videos myself. Otherwise Crossfit because I want to do a 20 minute workout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848507 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:12:46 +0000 prettylizy 848507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Yes he is, and while I love his current buff daddy situation, it's seriously cramping my lazy style! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848501 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:10:13 +0000 regberadaisy 848501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Modern Daisy: hahah that is totally me.</p> <p>You changed your avatar! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848496 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:09:18 +0000 Modern Daisy 848496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just like you - I watch my diet so I only need really light exercise to stay in shape/toned. My favorites are going on walks and cleaning the house. They are free and can be really productive! I also have done several trial memberships to various yoga studios around me and yoga is an awesome way to tone up. It's also good for lazy people like me because the class forces you to do a complete workout meanwhile if I were to do the DVD at home I would totally slack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848490 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:06:25 +0000 autumnlove 848490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: is DH still addicted to working out?! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848465 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:02:32 +0000 BoogieBea 848465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you want to get into jogging. i joined a local running group through meetup. I find that it's easier for me to force myself to go for a run when there's a social aspect to it. In between runs, I'll do one of those core/body toning workouts that only take up 15 minutes a day. There's a lot on the web. I've been doing a lot of the HIIT workouts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848351 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:33:52 +0000 lemondrop 848351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amen! Me too :) </p> <p>I really like the Workout Trainer app on my phone! They have different length routines, so I start out with a 5-7 minute routine when I'm not feeling motivated (most of the time!). It is a free app for Android at least, but they have a more extensive Pro version too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848329 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:30:36 +0000 regberadaisy 848329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cool - I'll try it out. Maybe LO will find it funny! Hah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848326 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:30:21 +0000 prettylizy 848326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: It worked for me--- you do betdime duties while I get outta dodge. Now he's the bedtime master and I she doesn't need me. I miiiiiight occasionally just veg on the couch instead of working out though... lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848319 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:29:38 +0000 IRunForFun 848319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I like her personality and attitude, I think her voice just bugs me for some reason! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848314 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:28:10 +0000 IRunForFun 848314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: It's basically a pilates instructor that does vlogs of different workouts and you follow along. She has them compiled by body part focus and they're pretty short, anywhere from 3 to 25 minutes, so you can just do one, or string a few together. A lot of it is mat work, but she does have some workouts with free weights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848312 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:28:02 +0000 blackbird 848312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like of like her! I swear I'm alway ready to give up when she tells me not to lol. </p> <p>They're Pilates videos with some light weights and she so has HIIT cardio videos. All with music and instruction. She keeps me entertained versus other instructors who just tell you what to do </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848296 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:25:44 +0000 regberadaisy 848296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: @SupernovaJ: @blackbird: I'll check out Blogilates! What is it?</p> <p>@Alivoo01: I do....buried somewhere in our million totes... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848280 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:22:45 +0000 IRunForFun 848280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Yes, someone else who knows Blogilates! Her voice annoys me so much but I love the workouts!!! I do about 25 mins of them 3x per week in addition to running. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848275 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:21:25 +0000 SupernovaJ 848275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. Blogilates!!! YouTube-it.<br /> 2. If you're on Instagram, there are wonderful accounts that post daily workouts, healthy meals, etc. to all do at home. Here are some usernames: workouts_to_go, workoutsandtips, workouts_daily, etc.<br /> 3. I also run on the tracks at a local high school, or up and down the stadium stairs for something a little more intense.<br /> 4. Jump roping.... best form of cardio ever invented, and it's totally free! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848242 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:10:39 +0000 fancyfunction 848242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're into dancing, Zumba is great. It's what I do the most at the gym - it's fun and gets your heartrate going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848232 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:08:25 +0000 Alivoo01 848232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a Wii or Kinect? I'm a fan of some of their workout programs on there! It's fun and doesn't seem like a workout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848205 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:02:05 +0000 regberadaisy 848205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: haha I like your plan. I will work out if you do night time. not that he doesn't but bc of the boobies I do 85% of it.</p> <p>@MrsCB: er. I am not "active" either. I hate sports. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848188 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:59:17 +0000 blackbird 848188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blogilates videos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848187 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:58:53 +0000 ShootingStar 848187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally I prefer to do active things, rather than exercise for the sake of exercise. I like golfing/the driving range, riding bikes, going for walks, etc. I have no motivation to go to a gym or do a workout video. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848182 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:58:25 +0000 Weagle 848182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Long walk or jogs are free :). I usually do 30DS or some random yoga/Pilates video on Hulu+, but you can find lots of workouts on YouTube. I used it to do Jillian Michaels' Killer Abs the other day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848177 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:56:59 +0000 prettylizy 848177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: So does my DH, I hate it. Ugh. I mean, I always feel better after a workout but man I'd rather sit on the couch and do nada! lol!</p> <p>I found Couch to 5k is pretty easy to do, I have an app on my phone that just tells me when to run and when to walk. I'm only out of the house for like 20-30 minutes and it's after she goes to bed. If you're planning to wean off the boob maybe that's a good opportunity for you to get out of the house so she can't smell you and your DH can handle night time for a while? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848131 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:46:24 +0000 regberadaisy 848131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: *highfive!* bahaha that's the thing. He actually <i>enjoys</i> working out! He's doing Insanity now and <i>loving</i> it. He's crazy.</p> <p>But you bring up a good point. Maybe after LO goes to bed I should go for a jog on nights he's home. He'll just have to figure out how to get her back to sleep if she wakes up. We need to start boob weaning at bedtime any way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848118 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:43:33 +0000 prettylizy 848118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>High Five for being lazy and not wanting to exercise! lol! I just have to force myself outside to run or go to the gym. I find if I want a super quick workout, climbing the stairmill for 25-30 minutes gets it done. Most often DH is literally shoving me out the door running shoes in hand! lol! I keep hoping I'll get addicted....... hasn't happened yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848112 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:41:23 +0000 bunnylove08 848112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if you have a bike, that is fun. It doesnt feel like you're working out when its super nice outside and the speed of the bike creates a nice breeze </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848053 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:27:58 +0000 TheReelDeal 848053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are some nice 15 minute full body work outs on womenshealth.com. I think they even have an entire book of them, I just get the free ones. I'm not a fan of sweating and the one work out I did got me nice lean arms and legs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848050 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:27:14 +0000 Ra 848050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you like cardio, I thought that Hip Hop Abs was really fun. The workouts are only about 30 mins long and it is fun to dance around and look like an idiot. I also found I was more likely to work out if I didn't have to leave my house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lazy-exercisers#post-848034 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:25:18 +0000 regberadaisy 848034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So. I'm lazy. I have a good metabolism and genetics to thank otherwise I would be pretty heavy, I think!</p> <p>DH really wants me to exercise for my health. </p> <p>Got any good recommendations for someone who just wants a bit of light exercise to be toned &amp; healthy? I've done Yoga &amp; Pilates in the past.....and do go out on walks on the weekend with LO when schedule allows.</p> <p>ETA: Free preferred! I can't trust my dedication enough to spend moola on it. ;) </p>
