Does anyone really, seriously, exercise at home?

[FrayedKnot]

Or, how do I motivate myself to do pilates dvds when I could be lying on the sofa eating chocolate and MN'ing?

I always intend to!

I have a bike. I do it whilst watching Corrie. The time flies by.That was the plan anyway....... Bulging thighs and my fat arse on the beach in a few months time- the thought of that might motivate me!!!

yes i do
by running round after the bloody lot of them
including stairs, lunges,when stopping someting falling off shelf, worktop etc (good cardio-vascular exercises}

weights -washing baskets and piles, huge pans of food, bags of shopping etc

repititive exercises- re scouring, scrubbing the loo etc

hmm will think of some more

doormat!

FrayedKnot - find something you can do while watching the TV - for me it's the bike. Only way it can work - I couldn't force myself to do a pilates video everyday either!

yes, yoga most days and sometimes exercie DVD or X-trainer

I have a trampoline which i used once!
my mum bought it for me , and now i just get my exercise walking everywhere and running up the stairs but i do feel guilty whenever I see the trampette

I think you couold be right..not keen on bikes though.

A cross trainer?

Which one? Are they not really expensive if they are any good?

I do bicep curls with my baby.... . No, seriously, I do. He thinks he's flying and grins like mad. And for more serious weightlifting, I have a 2 1/2 stone toddler as well.

Yes my biceps/triceps are no longer saggy now i can carry a 3y.o and an 18m at the same time

When dd is at school and therefore unavaliable i am sometimes forced to take something upstairs or get something from upstairs so yes!

Ooohh I have an air walker thingy and I go on it for half and hour at least 4 times a week whilst watching TV.

It's a Tony Little Gazelle freestyle and it cost me £170 delivered.

power walking- from school coz it is bloody freezing

And it's amazing how 100 repetitions of "horsey horsey, don't you stop" can tighten up those thigh muscles. And don't get me started on the aches and pains caused by crawling round on all fours actually "being" the horse...

Have just googled it flutterbee - that thing is scary!

I would fall off it!

clairemow I am all toned up too, and bloody ache all over since working in nursery too

Ok, answer to original question: Book yourself a holiday somewhere HOT where you'l just have to wear a swimsuit/bikini - nothing like the fear of looking daft to motivate you - for me it's the bridesmaid dress I have to squeeze into at the end of march!

10lbs to go...

i need the answer too fk! i did ten sit ups last week though

Frayedknot, we got this cross trainer here

it's really good

i got my cross trainer on ebay for 40 quid and use it loads.

Dinny that one looks good..I can;t afford anything atm but maybe later in the year..

lol sea I did a few tricep dips after Christmas

i brought a folding exercise bike from ebay and i love it have done 15 miles a night in front of the tv for the pass 2 weeks and i really look forward to doing (sad i no) have a dvd work out but never done it as always some thing i want to watch on the tv once kids in bed
