Can anyone recommend some good at home workouts?
I don't always have time to make it to the gym, but I have a yoga mat and hand weights. I do random stuff like jumping jacks and bicep curls, but I'd love an actual PLAN.
Any good resources out there?
ETA: and I don't mean workout VIDEOS. I don't always have access to the TV, so I mean a set of exercises I can do anywhere!

I usually do a combination of any of the following:
- Squats (combine with shoulder press to work more muscles)
- Walking lunges
- Bicep curls
- Chest flys (lay on your back and lift your butt off the ground to incorporate your glutes and hamstrings)
- One-leg dead lifts
- Push-ups
- Tricep dips (or overhead tricep extensions)
- Shoulder raises (alternate with one arm raising to the front and one arm raising to the side)
- Rows (bent over)
- Side lunges
I'll do pick about 4-5 exercises and do 15-20 reps of each one in a circuit. I'll repeat that circuit 2-3 times.

Are you on Pinterest? Look up HIIT workouts and there are a lot you can look at those and copy some of them so that you have a plan when you don't have TV access.

I also like the 30 day shred, I don't think it'd be terribly hard to find it written out online somewhere!

Check out Crossfit.com or crossfitmom.com (I prefer) for daily workouts. Some can be done with little to no equipment. Then the other is doing tabatas.

If you have a smartphone you can download some fitness apps. Sworkit is a great one that requires no equipment!

@IRunForFun: oh, I forgot about that! I have a nike one that is awesome and doesn't need any equipment either!

The nike women's app on a smart phone has great workouts. I second http://www.bodyrock.tv/. You could watch a couple and write down the workouts so you always have it available. I also LOVE http://www.zuzkalight.com/. She co-founded bodyrock but went of on her own when she separated from the other founder. I actually prefer her.

@.twist.: Which Nike one is it? I have Nike Training Club and you need weights for some...is there another one that doesn't use weights?

You guys rock! So many great ideas, resources, and inspiration!
@IRunForFun: whoops, I already downloaded sworkit, just never actually used it!
@blackbird: I was checking out blogilates at work! Looks like a good possibility for me because a lot of the videos were relatively short and I can watch on my ipad

@Kimberlybee: awesome, any recommendations on where to begin? I'm going to look into it a little more after I get out from under this sleeping baby

My boot camp trainer posts at home weekend workouts on his FB page. If you look through some old pays you may find some worth a try.

@cmomma17: I have a good friend who lost 20 lbs using the blogilates' lady meal plan and workout calendar. If you subscribe to her email updates, her emails are quite motivating! The November workout calendar's password is eatcleantraindirty

I do my own mini version of a body pump class - I set a timer and do different exercises (squats, chest, biceps, lunges, etc) each for 3 minutes.

@IRunForFun: oh, no, it's the nike training one. I guess I don't consider weights equipment because you could use a number of things around the house for that! Haha but my husband is a trainer so he's all about that kind of stuff. It's ingrained in me!

@.twist.: Oh OK, hahaha. I do like NTC, I mean I have weights, so it works for me! I mainly do the upper body and core workouts since I usually run for my cardio.

@cmomma17: haha it was easier than I thought it would be - it left me winded but it was doable! DH and I did it while watching TV after the kids went to bed!
