I’m tired.
It’s too cold outside.
I feel lazy.
I’ll do it tomorrow.
I’m busy.
Excuses. And if I’m being honest, all ones that I’ve used before and sometimes still do.
Motivating yourself to exercise when you really don’t want to is the entire battle! For me, having a handful (or more!) of workouts in my back pocket ready to go when I need them is absolutely key. And being able to do them in the comfort of my own home immediately negates most of the excuses I come up with, especially during the holidays!
I was putting together a list of all my favorite free at home fitness resources the other day to take with me to Atlanta (we’re heading home on Saturday!). Vishnu’s parents have a big semi-empty basement that’s perfect for at home workouts. I figured if I have a bunch of options to choose from, I’ll be more likely to move my butt.
And because I can’t keep a list this good from all of you, I thought I would share!
Happy sweating! 🙂

I am not motivated to workout at home. I once watched a zumba workout video at home….eating popcorn on my sofa.

December 27, 2015 at 6:41 pmI love the Tone It Up workouts to do at home but I’ve heard great things about Fitness Blender! I’m definitely going to give those a try!

February 26, 2016 at 10:15 pmHi, Like you I prefer to workout at home. All I tend to need is my yoga mat and some free hand weights. I’m lucky enough at the moment to have moved into a condo which has yoga in the building……so no excuses! lol Thanks for sharing
