I need to add weight training to cardio... I need something easy, do at home, you know? I don't want to make excuses out of doing it - like, I have to wash my hair, I need to change my clothes, they're not open now, etc, etc, etc... something I can just DO. I've seen a few things online... but can anyone suggest/recommend a program? I'm a beginner for sure... but I want that muscle tone!

Re: Need a weight training program... n2ifr
I am a HUGE fan of Lindsay Brin at Moms Into Fitness https://www.momsintofitness.com/
I did her postnatal bootcamp to lose all my baby weight and then bought all her other DVDs because I loved her so much. Every single one of them is fantastic and they incorporate weights too. She is all about building lean muscle.
I even participated in one of her fitness competitions so I can proudly say I'm one of her "success stories". https://www.momsintofitness.com/shed5fastcontest
She and I have become friends through that and she's absolutely amazing!
3/11 DX: lean PCOS/anovulatory
9/11 ovarian drilling to remove cysts + 5mg Femara = BFN
10/11 5 mg Femara again = BFP, ectopic pregnancy at 5w4d
11/11 diagnosed with breast cancer
12/11 bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction

And it can be done in 20 min (wellmore like 25 with the warm up and cool down)
Lindsay Bryn sounds better than Jillian, I will need to check that out! Are the dvd's easy to follow and not irritating?
YES! She is like working out with your best friend (who is motivating, not yelling). And the best part is she's had 3 kids so she talks about all the 'mommy' muscles you need to use after your body's been through pregnancy & childbirth. Like kegels and the muffin top/abs. I mean really I could go on all day about how awesome she is, she's my idol

You can purchase her DVDs on Amazon or through her website. I'm not sure the price comparison, but if you want to go through her website I can email you a $10 off coupon code.
Ok, and I promise I'm done talking about her now!

Ugh Jillian Michaels... I hate that b*tch.
I have tried working out at home a gazillion times. I'm too lazy. When I'm home, I'm home. I play and clean and cook and do all that crap, not workout. If I'm paying for it, I'll use it, so I go to the gym!
Good luck
PS- I think you'd really like mat pilates. Definitely builds a sweat with strength training.
