I hate going to the gym. Work out suggestions?
-
Could you suggest things I could do other than going to the gym in order to stay fit

I had the same problem and i was reluctant too to go out running because of the weather conditions and because it was boring, i solved it buying an elliptical trainer and i use it while watching tv-shows or movies which i would not watch without using it. It easily solved the equation form me since a few years now. I would just recommend investing in a quality one as anyways if you do this regularly it's money you won't invest in going to the gym.

Think of physical and strenuous activities that you actually enjoy and try to incorporate that into your weekly schedule a few times.
-
team sports, dance classes, martial arts, boxing etc

Go out and take a walk. Yes, you don't burn as much calories, but it's still better than nothing.
Basically just get moving. I personally like running because it doesn't require much in the way of equipment, but swimming, walking, cycling, dance classes, Zumba or Cross fit are all other options.

For me, nothing beats a good run. If I don't have a late shift the night before an off-day, I can totes run from dawn to dusk. (Okay, if I'm out on a "run" that entire time, half or more is probably walking…) Between my phone apps (C25K and Nike+ Running) I will map out all of my little town before calling it a day.
If you have an Amazon subscription, there's plenty of workout videos on there. Jillian Michaels' yoga vids are great! If you aren't pouring with sweat, you're doing it wrong!
If you have a Wii, EA Sports Active/II is really great and it set me up to enjoy exercise and fitness. It gives you a certain number of off-days depending on how strenuous you want your regimen. I originally had the first 2 days in a row set to work out. I thought it was going to kill me but that was the first and only major hill I had to pass, because after that second day I was excited to get home and boot it up, maybe work on 2 days in one night! I was also incorporating little things to simple tasks so I could be working out all day. Wii Fit is good, too, but it doesn't have the same impact and the Wii Fit Board is pretty easy to break... -
jogging is always good for me while is sunny out there,try it, u would love it

I feel ya! You could get your own set of weights and a treadmill, elliptical or bike.
-
Pilates 8 mins abs are very effective:)

You basically don't need anything except a good will and motivation (whether it's to look good, be healthy or you purely enjoy working out - or all of that combined). I enjoy bodyweight training and you literally don't need anything (except your own body) to do that, and you can do it anywhere, anytime, and it's completely free
Besides that, I like running.
The most important thing is to make exercising a habit, at first it will be the most boring thing ever but in time you'll actually start enjoying it
And don't do it too much, you don't have to work out every day, your body needs to rest - you're not a proffesional athlete to have some killer regime. I think 3-4 times a week is more than enough.
Start with something easy, even if you almost think it's pointless - you'll progress over time. Patience is the key, results don't come overnight -
you can find some really good exercises on yt to do at home

I have used several Beach Body products for home exercising (P90X, Insanity) and find they work well and are well made products
