You don’t need a fancy gym membership to get into shape!
Here are 3 ways to get fit at home:
- Start a DVD fitness program. My favorite? The 30 Day Shred!
- Invest in a yoga mat. You can do yoga anywhere, anytime. Here’s a youtube routine to get you started!
- Turn cleaning into a cardio routine. Blast your favorite song and integrate kickboxing, lunges, and dancing into your house cleaning routine!

And I’m fine with that. My time isn’t improving yet but every time I run I can feel the progress in my endurance. The first couple of times I would just come home afterward and be too burnt out to do anything, but today I lifted weights for 15 minutes. I feel awesome.
awesome!
