Exercise at HOME

Hi friends

I am at home sick today with a horrible migraine YUCK.  However, being stuck at home and reading P's post on her at home exercise options has inspired the topic of my post today. 
I thought I would share a wee gem that I stumbled across online for those non-gym days... 

FITNESS BLENDER http://www.fitnessblender.com/ 
Basically, this is a 'one stop shop' for exercise videos, fitness and nutrition tips and community forums. The best part - it is 100% FREE OF CHARGE. 

You don't even need to walk out the front door
for these workouts...easy peasy

The website was created by an American couple who have worked in the fitness industry for many years, and decided that health and fitness needed to be made more accessible to the general populace. If you want to read more about the brains of the business and 'meet' the people you see in the exercise videos  check this page out http://www.fitnessblender.com/v/about-fitness-blender/

There are literally hundreds of different videos to choose from which include everything from cardio, to weights and resistance training...you name it, they have it! You will never get sick of the same old, same old using Fitness Blender! In each video you simultaneously  watch the exercises being performed, whilst listening to verbal instructions which describe each exercise and the correct way to execute them. I like to do the videos with some music playing in the background on my computer - just make sure it isn't so loud you can't hear the instructions.

I can definitely relate to this...

I really love that they have included 'warm up' and 'cool down' sequences and also have whole videos dedicated to stretching which is often forgotten in the rush to get our workouts finished quickly. Another awesome part of the website is the search function which allows you to enter keywords, choose the area of the body you want to focus on, choose the amount of time you have to train, and choose what equipment you have at home to use. To have a go at searching for a video check this out FB: Handy Search function

BIG thanks to Bex B for the motivational images in today's post

If you think Fitness Blender is something you could be interested in using I suggest you sign up online, create a log in and then you can begin to compile a selection of your favourite videos for easier navigation next time you visit. Here are my top 10 videos;
