Gym not for you? Don't worry -- many people can't stand the gym and would rather work out in private. But working out on your own accord takes motivation ... and a little help from a trained professional who can give you some guidance. Jari Love, one of my favourite trainers, gave her advice on at home workouts to MSN -- all this workout requires is a some resistance bands! Click here for the workout.

Reading about workouts not good enough? If you need a visual guide, pick up a fitness DVD or two to work out to. Jari's Ripped series is a great start.

How do you stay slim without the gym?

Right now, I'm in the midst of a gym craze, which means I am going quite a bit (around 4 times a week.) Which is great, but I have to admit, there are times when I am definitely in a gym funk -- I just can't get motivated to make the trip. But I still need to work out so during those times, so I usually try a fitness DVD. They're especially good in the winter, when heading out into the freezing cold and scraping ice off your car is so not appealing. They're also great if you like you workout in the morning but don't like to get up early to battle the crowds at the gym. Yeah, DVDs can get repetitive after a while, but with Netflix offering them now so there's no need to do the same one over and over again.

This week, I decided to put together a list of awesome Fitness DVDs that will get your muscles toned and help you burn calories. Feel free to add your won favourites in the comments section. In no particular order:
