I’m really looking forward to putting all the pieces of my new routine together this week. Last week as you know was all about swimming as Lisa and I headed over to the University for our first two Master’s classes. I did a couple easy runs with Charlie and just tried to recover a little bit from the Zooma race. The next 5 days will be all about using my resources to work out daily. Here are a few of the best ways to workout at home.
Create a Home Gym
Stock your gym up slowly with basics like hand weights, a yoga mat, exercise ball, and resistance bands. You can find affordable gear like this at TJ Maxx, Ross, and Marshalls for half the price you’d see at other retail stores. Seriously this has saved me boatloads of cash!! I’ve purchased tons of stuff for less than $10 this way. These basic items can go a long way in helping you do workouts with wii games, DVDs, and tabata routines found online.
Next, save your pennies and invest in a piece of equipment like this Elliptical Trainer from Zoostores.com. I’m such an online shopaholic these days because of stores like this that give me the best prices possible.
Bring the gym into your home and enjoy an efficient, high-caliber workout which works your legs as well as your upper body. The EX-57 offers an eight-level electronic resistance system while offering a smooth, quiet operation. More significantly from a user perspective, it offers nine goal-oriented programs. You can choose one of three different goals (time, distance, and calories) and one of three terrains (manual, reverse train, and hills). The crisp LCD screen, meanwhile, offers key workout feedback, helping you develop an effective training regimen.
What’s great about Zoostores is that they have all kinds of fitness products (over 500,000) like pilates, gym equipment, mats, etc. with the ability to search and compare items from over 250 stores. There are 60% off discounts and always free shipping.
Purchase Some Workout DVDs (or Win some below)
Jillian Michaels anything is really great. 30 Day shred is a staple for most but all of her DVDS will give you an amazing workout.
Dvds are great especially if you’re a little nervous about trying a group class at the gym. If you get tired using a DVD at home, you can rest without feeling judged and workout in any clothing you find to be comfortable. That’s when I personally break out my short shorts 
Play a Game
If you have a game system, head over to redbox and rent their Just Dance Game or Zumba title. You’ll forget you’re working out when you’re having so much fun. This is one of my favorite ways to sweat after a long day at work if I’m dreading a drive to the gym.
Ok here’s the fun part!! Zoostores.com wants to help you get get fit in 2013 by giving away some awesome prizes.

I’d love to win the yoga kit so I have my own mat. Right now I just do my at home workouts right on the carpet.
Oops, I didn’t read the comment prompt before leaving my earlier comment. There are so many things that I’d love to buy from zoostores.com if money was no object. But realistically if I was to get one thing that would help me stay active I think it would be a heart rate monitor so I could see how many calories I’m really burning.
Tour de France Advantage Elite Bicycle would be nice to bike commute with.

There are lots of dwelling routines that you may complete within the comfort of your residence. There’s no need so you might join a health and fitness center and even work out center and keep your own self in good shape and sustain a good shape. Everything you need to achieve is certainly organize an appropriate home exercise routine. The earliest undertaking should be to set an ambition on the amount you ought to gain (irrespective of whether your ultimate goal is simple workout, weight-loss or simply muscular attain)…..
I remember vividly the day my family moved from Cedar Rapids, Iowa to Chicago. I was all of ten years old and like any child would be, excited to see the city. My father had received a promotion at the bank he had worked at since well before I was born and we were now leaving the relative comfort of our home for an apartment on Michigan Avenue. Driving into the city was almost surreal, and although sullen over leaving my friends behind, I was enthralled with the possibility of great opportunities that lay ahead. All the wonder and amazement I was experiencing after having traveled through the concrete canyons of the Windy City was soon overshadowed by the news that my father decided to impart to me the moment we entered our new domicile. I would be sharing a room with my younger brother.”
