1. I very rarely work out at home. I have a big dog who sort of gets in the way.
2. I feel like I get a much better workout at the gym because there are less distractions. (see point number one)
3. My gym is $35 a month.
4. I have done the Shred. I liked it but got bored doing the same thing every day.
5. Never done it but the infomericals always make it look cool.

I used to always feel I have to go to the gym to get a "real" workout in, but lately I have been doing my own things at home…and love it. I feel as long as you are getting a good workout in that is what matters…and that you feel good!!

Great pics!! Such focus on your face!

I enjoy gym workouts and home workouts equally because I get something different out of each.

Your gym sounds AWESOME…and so cheap! How nice to work out in a place of beauty!

1) I do both, but since I'm half marathon training, I have been doing all runs and then on demand stretch/strength things. I am loving training, but I can't wait to get back into kickboxing, spinning, and some jillian dvds.
2) If I do Jillian dvd's, yes. Also, if running counts, then yes.
3) $30 a month
4) Yes and yes, but I didn't do it 30 days straight, I just added it in to my workout schedule around 2-3 times a week. I might actually start over soon. I really like her "No Trouble Zones" and "Boost Your Metabolism" dvd's.
5) No, I thought about it, but it's really expensive!!

What a great gym you belong to! And what a deal! I don't have a gym membership for the first time since college. We moved into an apartment community that has a fitness center. It's not great, but it works. I prefer to work out on gym equipment that to videos. But I do want to try Jillian's dvds. Someday , I hope to have a couple of gym machines at home. The convenience of working out at home can't be beat!

1. Used to work out at the gym, but we went down to one car and decided it would be easier if we concentrated on running, at home weights, dvds etc.
2. I can totally get a kick ass workout at home. it's all about motivation. if no one's around i might not try very hard, or only go for 20 minutes. if my hubby's around and he's working out too, we go super hard core and are sweating up a storm. we usually switch up home workouts with running.
3. $0 (aside from the occasional DVD I might buy)
4. Have tried the shred and i liked it. i had to stop due to a shoulder injury (so i could only do running) but i plan on doing it again, aloing with some other great DVD's when my injury has fully healed.
5.Never tried PX90.

- 99% of the time I workout at the gym, but if I go running I go from my house b/c we're only 1.5 miles from the beach
- If I do workout at home (and haven't gone running), I don't get as good of a workout. I get good ones in, but just not AS good.
- My gym is $25 a month. The hard part is, around me in CT, there aren't many options. There's one gym I used to go to that I liked a lot, but when it dropped it's prices from $60 a month to $15 it attracted every 16 year old in the County. UGH! Other than where I am now, as far as places with a good atmosphere, there's also Equinox, but that's $150 a month with a $500 signing fee. I wish there was another middle of the road $60 place …
- I've never done "The Shred"
- I haven't tried PX90, but anyone I know that's tried it LOVES it!

My gym is $90/ month with no registration fee. Yikes! I put it on hold from May-October because I walk and run so much outside. Have a great weekend!

P.S. I am doing a Glo Bakery giveaway, plus I did a post on "giving back" yesterday which you might like!

I workout at a gym, and I feel I get a better workout just because I'm more focused. When I'm at home I will get distracted too much by my roommates or other stuff going on at home, and the choice to quit is too easy. At a gym, you really have to make a point of going, as opposed to putting on a dvd in the living room. However, I do yoga at home sometimes and that's ok. My membership is 50 dollars a month. We don't have all those toilettries provided, but we do have a few, like soap, q-tips, kleenex, hair dryer and a few others. There is a pool, which makes the fee worth it to me. I haven't done the shred, but I've heard good things. I have done a few P-90X videos and they are really kick butt. I'd say they are similar to crossfit.
Enjoy your weekend!

LOVE the pics. you look so intense! and $16 is a great price. luckily i can use my schools gym for "free" (oh tuition), don't know what i'll do when i graduate!

I do all my running at "home" and use the gym for lifting
Not for lifting. I like having the benches and lots of free weights around.
Not quite sure. I mean, I pay tuition but technically the gym is free. And when I'm not at school I work at a gym which mean free membership
I have tried the Shred but I'm not a fan of video programs in general and Jillian annoys me too much
Never tried P90X
