I am going to share with you a workout I found Via. Pinterest! I looooooove me some pinterest! When I first saw it I though "Right, I would never be able to do a workout Britney did". Well, it sparked my interest and I followed the link. It brought me to this blog.
http://tiny-miss-k.tumblr.com/post/5413731336/the-britney-spears-workout . I will list the workout here and then post a modified version if you're just starting out on it like myself. You don't want to work yourself too hard at first because you will get burnt out on it. Been there, done that. Work slow at first and work your way up every week or even every two weeks. If you don't have a treadmill you can jog in place or if your place is big enough run around the house in circles. As long as your moving, you're good! Also, if you have the Wii Fit, there is a workout to jog in place.
90 minutes/4x a week
Warm up: 10 minutes on cardiovascular machine (treadmill, stationary bike, etc) at a medium pace.
Abs: 50 crunches, 50 bicycle twists, 50 hip raises
Strength Circuit: Use weights to work on arms, chest, back, and lower body. Bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, and fly exercises and presses.

1950 ab exercises
DONT FREAK OUT! Here's a modified version I did to start out with.
Warm up: 10 minutes on cardiovascular machine (treadmill, stationary bike, etc) at a medium pace.
Abs: 50 crunches, 50 hip raises
( I really reccomend doing crunches on a yoga ball. It seems to work out your whole stomach)
Strength Circuit: Use weights to work on arms
(only did my arms. I alternated between biceps and triceps 20 reps each. The hip raises from before really work out your legs and butt. You'll know what I mean when you do them!)
Abs: 50 crunches, 50 hip raises
Strength Circuit: Use weights to work on arms.

Back to Cardio & Abs: 10 minutes of walking at a fast pace on treadmill or elliptical machine
(I would have walked longer but Anya woke up early this morning. Try for 30 min if you can but 10 is ok too)
Abs: 50 Crunches
That's what I did this morning and I feel great! I like alternating between things because it keeps me from getting board. Before getting started go on Pinterest and find some motivational pins. You can take a peek at mine on my board titled "Work out heffer!". You can find me on pinterest under the name "Thesketchyeasel" or "Ashley Wes Riner". ALSO, go on playlist.com and make yourself a work out playlist. It's absolutely free and all you gotta do is log in and click on your playlist when your ready to work out. Here's my playlist of you need some inspiration. The funny thing is I never listen to these songs otherwise but they get me going to work out! What will be on your playlist? Maybe I missed something!
