    A recent article in bthesite.com by Melinda Fulmer of the Los Angeles Times describes a number of exercise programs that you can do at home.

    Daily Burn is your at-home gym site. www.dailyburn.com.

    The site provides a number of different programs that you can stream onto your smart phone or tablet. Melinda Fulmer suggests that these programs aren’t for beginners or those with injuries.

    Fitnessglo www.fitnessglo.com and and Yogaglo www.yogaglo.com

    Melinda Fulmer suggests that these streaming programs are good for all levels of fitness. The programs go from 5 to 45 minutes. Melinda suggests that Fitnessglo and Yogaglo are both good places for most people to start an exercise program.

    Other programs include:
