Hey friends!
Happy Tuesday!! I hope everyone survived this past Monday. Was it just me, or was Monday a doozy??
I talked to you all a while ago about how I am decreasing the intensity of my exercising… remember? Well, I told you all that I have been doing a lot of yoga, pilates, and other youtube videos. Well, I thought for the next couple of weeks I would share some “Get Fit With Me” posts where I share some of my favorite at home workout videos.
I’m too cheap to join a gym, and I get distracted at my church’s gym. Videos are a great way for me to stay engaged and active!
Now, you all have NO EXCUSE for not workout out! ;) Some of these videos I don’t do anymore since they are higher in intensity, but you all can enjoy them!
Today is all about Strength Videos on YouTube
The Butt Bible Lower Levels 1-3 and Upper Levels 1-3. These are killer on the tush! I still do both of the level 1′s every now and then. Plus, Pauline Nordin is super motivating!
You can read an interview with Pauline about the Butt Bible on Toni’s Blog here.
Jackie Warner’s 10 Minute Full Body Workout
My favorites: (and I miss them so much!!)
Chris Freytag: 10 Pound Slimdown workouts

Xtreme- Total Body 40min

Valerie Waters: One Dumbbell Total Body Tone Workout
I have been doing the Valerie Waters workout more than any others using a 5lb weight.
Muscle is the key to burning fat, so make sure you always get in your strength workouts!
These are just a few of my favorite strength workouts on YouTube. I’m sure a missed several good ones!
Do you like to workout at home?
What are your favorite strength videos or strength moves??
What do you all want to see next?? Yoga, pilates, circuit??

I love 10 Pound Slimdown workouts! I do the yoga one every now and then!
OOO I love the yoga one!
I only have one workout video – 30 Day Shred, but I find it hard to do in my apartment because I don’t want to disturb the tenants below (the cardio is all jumping!). I think one day when we have a house, I’ll totally be into videos for workout out! I waste so much time driving back and forth to the gym!
So true!! I could never workout at home when I lived in an apartment!
I’m not big on working out at home (except for 20 min yoga) because I have a hard time staying motivated with all of the distractions all around me. But sometimes it’s my only way to get in a workout and I have to. If that’s the case, the shorter, the better.
lol! I get distracted at the gym! I have to be in a class or doing a video or else I’ll just sit around!
I wasn’t a big video person until trying P90X. Those are killer!
I haven’t done p90x, but I did insanity and it was …. insane!
This is such a great idea! I rarely work out at home but definitely should–especially during icky weather!
I’m too cheap for the gym. Lol!
I do all of my work outs at home, currently have Chalean Extreme, Turbo Fire and P90X…can you tell I work for Beachbody
I tried getting a gym membership, but I realized it’s just not for me.
I did turbo fire and insanity! How do you like chalean extreme?
I love working out at home, I actually prefer it to the gym and only go to the gym for spin classes. I have more motivation at home, which a lot of people say they don’t but whatever ha ha.
Plus, then we don’t have to waste extra time driving to/from the gym:)
oooo I love spin classes! I’m more motivated at home too! Seriously… we are so alike it is scary!
What always makes me laugh is some of the names for at home workout stuff: the Butt Bible? The Thigh Master? The Shake Weight – although that is more funny thanks to all the spoofs on it.
Anyway, I suppose I sort of work out at home? I will admit I am more of a push-up/sit-up routine and that is about as exciting as it gets. I do totally love seeing fun short videos or challenges on blogs and I try them.
I love these links are to short and sweet videos too…attention span you know.
The names are hilarious! Pushups are a good workout girl! Let me know if you try any of these!
I can’t work out at home or I won’t do it. LOL.
I used to be that way too, but it has grown on me!
AHHHHH LOVED THIS! But, you didn’t tell me if you’re feeling better
STILL worried.
Ahhh <3
I loved this post, though! SO GOOD! So many videos I haven't tried! I really like bexxlife! She's AWESOME! I haven't tried any of the videos you shared, though! So, thanks
I loved this so much – I really did!
Fitinheels also has great ones
Ok, for your next one?? Maybe yoga? I have a pilates DVD, but am so curious about GOOD yoga workouts online!
Love you
