thanks for the reply however in a matter of 5 minutes a little good news has arrived as i have had some tempory work with an agency only factory work but will bring me a little money in. what excersices are best to do at home? as i have only ever done cardio machines and weights at the gym. thanks again x
thank you
me aswell i know i can do this i lost 4 stone in 2007 but then piled it all back on + more since for some reason i just been feeling so down and lacking motivation.there is always something positive around the corner
if you like jogging then thats a simple thing to do in a local park/canal...or if your really brave (unlike me!) the street?
you can do sit ups/push ups/squats in different variations, buy a pilates dvd for fantastic core strength, and this may sound silly, but some of my mates buy 2ltre bottles of pop and life them for biceps/triceps, another thing is to get some ankle weights?? this is brilliant exercise for your legs
or get a skipping rope!

where i live there aint really anywhere to run lol apart from around the garden, i use to love skipping as a child that could be something i will try. as for pressups iv never been able to do them
unless on my knees and just using my arms. i am good with sit ups and i have a abdominal crunch machine thing.thank you very much for your replies another thing i do is take the dog to the nearest national park at weekends for a long walk its just a long drive to go there daily.

use your stairs as a stepper, or keep runing up and down the stairs..if you.ve got a local leisure centre they only charge for each time you go.....my local one is only £4 a time.....you could go once a week or so.. or a class is about the same...i'm on benefits and am going to bum/tums/and thighs next week, and apparently will get a concessions discount cos on benefits!!!!
