Working out at home is a great way to save money and time, since you don't need to drive to and from the gym or pay any dues. Many people think that workout videos are just for women. However, most videos are suitable for both sexes. There are also some great workout videos that men may be more comfortable with, and even have men in the videos.
Men's Health 15 Minute Workout
This great workout video is geared towards busy men trying to get or stay in shape. This workout set consists of four 15-minute workouts, so you can do one or more workouts depending on your schedule. This is also a great bargain, as the program is available for under $20. You need some basic equipment, like an exercise mat and a set of dumbbells.
P90X
P90X is known pretty commonly as the most extreme home fitness program. It is almost like a boot camp in your home. The program is a straight forward strength training, cardio and flexibility program. The program is built into three phases and was created to last for 90 days. However, you can repeat the program from beginning to end as many times as you would like. This program is led by Tony Horton. You will need a full set of dumbbells, a pull-up bar and an exercise mat. A resistance band is optional. This program is not for beginners, and you should perform a fit test before beginning, which is included in the program.
Insanity
Insanity is another home workout program. However, this program uses no equipment, and all resistance training is done using your own body weight. Maximum interval training is the main concept in this workout. This is long intense periods of exercise followed by short active recovery periods. Again, this program is perfectly suitable for both sexes, but there are many men in the video, and the instructor is also a man, Shaun T. This program is designed to last 60 days. This program is not for beginners. You should perform a fit test before beginning, this can be found under the "Resources" section.
