When you want workouts

Many of us think (or make excuses) that we’re too busy to get to the gym. While this may be true, no one is too busy for an at-home workout. I’m living proof of this, having worked out in my home for years now. Yes, I’m up at 6am before my son rises, but the workouts are there at-the-ready, either via DVD, TV On Demand, or through streaming options on the computer. And at-home workouts mean you can wear what you want and look however you want to look. No judgments. Here are some great options to get your sweat on, in the comfort of your living room, or even on-the-go. No more excuses!
