Working out at home?

I'm joining a gym, but I would like to do some toning on the days I'm not there to boost my weight loss. The only fitness equipment I have is an abs rocker, light dumbells, and a medium resistance band. Can anyone suggest good exercises to do that will show fast results? Thanks :) xxx

1. This site has some good ideas: http://www.thetrainingstationinc.com/freeweightexercises.html
2. Hello, I was in a similar situation not too long ago. I needed to lose some weight for the summer. I tried almost every weight loss program under the sun, and nothing seemed to work. Out of frustration one day I was searching on google. Out of my frustration came the greatest day of my life. I found a website that gave an honest review of different weight loss programs. Their number one product claimed I could lose 21 pounds in 28 days. Naturally I was a little skeptical, but I was also desperate. I purchased the program (around $70 something) and dove right in. Of course, I did not lose 21 pounds in the first 28 days. But, I did lose 18 pounds in the first 28 days. In my opinion, this program was totally worth it. Because it actually gives great results, and is not too expensive. This website has ended all of my frustrations and desperation when it comes to losing weight. Be sure to check it out now. http://www.thingyurl.com/ly Good Luck, -Mary
3. ok..first thing is first throw that bullshit ab rocker away because its liek cheating at ab work.. its really hard to explain resistance exercise over the comp so id look up pictures or get a fitness magazine, go for a walk and hold the dumbells in your hand as u walk..good luck..remember there is nothign u can buy $ that will make u in shape..only actual hard work
