Exercising at Home

[MsDastardley]

I go to a small group training gym, been doing this for 2 years. I did enjoy it a lot, but have completely lost my motivation and not been for a couple of weeks. It is ££££ and I am thinking of cancelling now. Not sure what I will do in place.

There are quite a few high street gyms near me, but don’t fancy them at all. I’m 60, quite fit and strong. Am I kidding myself that I can follow a programme at home. I do follow a couple of fitness people on instagram. Any suggestions welcome

Lots of very knowledgeable posters will be along in a minute but in the meantime here are my suggestions:

Caroline Girvan
Growing Ananas
Heather Robertson

Definitely Heather Robertson, Juice and Toya, Fitbymik

I was just about to suggest...

Heather Robertson for general all-round workouts
Growingannanas for HIIT
and the divine Ms Caroline Girvan if you are really serious about working out.

I also have a few favourite mini-workouts that I do all the time:

Rebecca-Louise's Best Abs (really effective!!!) and also her Bingo Wings
Lucy Wyndham Read's Thighs & Glutes
Bowflex 3-minute plank - which I do every single day. Unless I am doing Caroline's 15-minute plank workout!

I never go to the gym, but I have been working out at home, most days, for over 4 years. I'm nearly 70 and fitter than most women in their 40s. Not a brag, just a fact.

Just got myself a set of 10kg dumbbells to add to my collection.

Thanks everyone. Lots of new people for me to check out. I don’t mind spending some money on dumbbells and a kettlebell, maybe some resistance bands. I’m feeling a bit more motivated now 😀
