Any exercise videos you like?
Even though Leslie sansone can get repetitive she has a few newer ones that have a lot of different things in them. One even has Pilates. I am a klutz when it comes to dancing maybe it's my mctd so I have problems with Richard Simmons. Have tried it and it is a good workout. Might try the Jillian Michaels one for a change up.
Let me know what you find out and what you enjoy! I just ordered a Leslie Sansone video myself, and I am going to be setting up my Xbox with Kinect to use Your Shape Fitness Evolved as well. My sister also has a Kinect and we're going to try the friend challenges together.
I also had ordered a Yoga video last year made for plus size bodies. I admittedly haven't opened it yet, but I at least found it! It's called MegaYoga.
I had tried an elliptical before (argued against a treadmill with my DH) and never used it because it was too awkward for me, and it hurt me more than walking. I vowed that once I am sub 300 myself that we are going to try out a few different machines and purchase one - I am thinking either treadmill or stationary bike.

I love my elliptical machine! At first, I literly couldn't do more than 5 minutes, but I kept at it, and now I do it every morning before I do anything else. I pick an "addictive" show (currently Orange is the New Black!) and I tell myself I'm only allowed to watch it while on the machine. It keeps me on it longer to watch a full show, and also keeps me off the couch, so that I don't binge watch shows. I'm on at least 45 minutes x4 or 5/week, now.

I am with you, I need an exercise I can do at home. This winter I survived on using a trampoline. I had it for like 4 years and could never do more than 5 minutes. This winter I was doing 45. Sometimes I would do it to Pandora radio station - they have cardio stations. My favorite was 80's cardio. Other times I would do it when a mindless TV show was on like Jeopardy and Wheel of fortune. I didn't seem to work as hard watching those, so I used to try and get intense during the commercials. Also would set the timer on kitchen stove and dance to Pandora cardio station. I have Asthma and severe allergies so I can't count on walking outside, yet I will do that on occasion too. I like changing it up, because I feel in the long term that will help me be successful. I do have a pool, so this summer I am in it every day and set my phone timer for 30 min. and make sure I am doing at least 30min of active exercise in the pool.
I bought some DVDs called the 10 minute solution. They have multiple 10 minute segments on them... so you can do 10 or you can do 30. You do have to have multiple choices or you get bored...
