I have been relying on my trusty Netflix subscription for workout DVDs which help me shake things up a bit during the week. If you’re in need of an at-home workout with weights, then check out Kelly Coffey-Meyer: 30 Minutes to Fitness —if you have 30 minutes or 60 minutes for a workout, then check this out.
There are upper-body, lower-body, abs and core exercises. And a little light cardio, too. I think this is an intermediate workout but could easily be modified for beginners.
You’ll need at least 1 or 2 sets of weights–I used my 10lb and 8lb dumbbells and even threw in a 12lb dumbbell for one set of bicep curls. A step is optional.
There’s something about this workout that makes me really push myself to complete all of the reps with heavy (for me) weights. Two moves that I don’t necessarily enjoy but know are good for working my muscles are the push-ups to 1-arm plank move and the nose, hips, downward dog move. The nose, hips move is kind of like doing a push-up, plank, and downward dog all in one swift move. You feel that one!
I’ve always wanted to sing in a band–just once. One night as a singer–that’s all. I’d even be happy with one song. Now I’m thinking of a new “want”…I want to be a back-up workout-er in a workout DVD. My spandex, high ponytail, dumbbells and I will be standing by.

Pushups are definitely my most dreaded exercise!
Haha!! I’d love to be a backup workout girl!! That’s a great aspiration!!!!!!!! I hate pushups too. I can hardly crank modified ones out. And with these guns!! Lol.
