Simple practices that people tend to ignore play a big role to keep people fit. Practices like walking to the market, riding a bicycle and doing household chores may help to shape up the body especially to those beyond age 40. Why should you board a car to the market yet you have the time to walk?

They do have some good youtube workouts that are very simple-and they have some good scenery in these videos to motivate you at home to workout as well-like the one below.
