I've just realized I can squeeze a 30 minute work out into my morning. I only have 30 minutes, and I have the baby with me, so I'm not sure what is best to do - hilly walk with stroller, some kind of work out tape inside, etc.
Does anyone here just have 30 minutes for a work out? If so, what do you do to maximize your time best?
(PS - baby still isn't sleeping great at night, so me getting up early before her just isn't an option yet.)

I love Beachbody on Demand (not a coach just a fan 
) It's cheap at $100 for the whole year and there are a ton of different workouts. I've done several of the programs that are 25-35 minutes in length (T-25 will have you drenched in 25 minutes. It's great) And then there's fmore mellow like yoga/PiYo.

DH and I have been doing Beachbody 21 day fix and really enjoy it. The workouts are 30 minutes each (well a couple are 31). I think we will get Beachbody on Demand when we fill like we are bored of 21 day fix.

@LuLu Mom: @catgirl: Thanks, girls. I will check this out! Do you need a lot of space to do the workouts? And is it a DVD or something you put from your computer onto your TV? (I don't know how to do this, but husband does, I think! 
)

Definitely Beachbody!
I do a 30 minute workout every day, and what's so awesome about the Beachbody On Demand, is that there are multiple workout programs to choose from depending on how you feel that day.
I did the 21 Day Fix for several rounds (all 30 minute or less workouts), but then transitioned to Turbofire, which is kickboxing (50 minutes or less every day, but I usually do the 25-35 minute workouts) and then a weight routine in my living room.
I am not a coach and never will be, but Beachbody has made it so much easier for me to stay in shape and I'll probably use their workouts forever!

@agold: the on demand is an app, you can stream to your smartTV (or Chromecast/fire stick/apple TV, etc.) You can buy DVDs as well but it's more cost effective to do On Demand right now in my opinion.

@LuLu Mom: Thank you! We have apple tv so I will look into that. Beachbody must be so popular!

@agold: Yes, Beachbody is definitely a game changer. I've been using it for around two years. I started with t25 but I like hammer and chisel now because it incorporates weights. If you get On demand click Challenge Du Jour. It lets you do different workouts of the day to sample programs.

I'm a huge fan of bbg 28 minute HIIT style workouts that use mostly body weight so you don't need a ton of equipment.
I've seen so many IG accounts of moms who manage to do them with their kids present! It's pretty cool.
These are the first four weeks that I found on Pinterest:

Fitsugar.com also has a ton of great workouts...some that require weights but many that don't.

I vote Beach Body on Demand and BBG!
@Mrs. Pen: I found the full 12 week PDFs of BBG 1.0 and 2.0 just googling around if you haven't seen them yet.

Have any of you tried both Beachbody and FitnessBlender? If so, can you share some pros and cons between the two? I learned about FB from Hellobee and have loved it but it seems like there are a lot more Beachbody fans now! @AGold - FitnessBlender has a whole variety of workouts that you can filter based on length, areas of focus, type of exercise, etc. and they're all free. I love it!

@serenity207: I've never tried FitnessBlender. I do Beach Body for the convenience and variety of workouts. Definitely not bad for $100/year vs $45/month membership at a gym I wasn't even going to. 
I tried the Shakeology for 2 months but with it being so expensive ($120 for 30 day serving, or something close), I just delay my shipment every month. I'm not sure I can cancel that portion completely.

@Mrs. Oreo: oh I already own both 1.0 and 2.0, but figured I'd share for her in case she wanted to try before buying.

I love Jillian Michaels workouts! They are quick and super effective.

I also love Jillian Michaels workouts!! I did her Ripped in 30, and now I've moved on to some of her other ones. The DVDs are cheap (less than $10 each on Amazon), and the length is perfect (about 30 min, maybe 35 with the stretching after).

I'd say jogging or hilly walking when you want to get out. You can burn a lot of calories that way in 30 minutes.
