Any tips on home exercises that are low impact and can take place without equipment? I desperately NEED help...

    Google "You Are Your Own Gym" or just "bodyweight exercises". There are tons of them and they are quite a challenge.

    Same for any type of cardio. There are walking-in-place videos or doing body weight exercises in circuits to get your heart rate up.

    There are more fitness sites than I could list but a popular one mentioned here is FitnessBlender (I think that's the name). Just start looking around - you'll find plenty of ideas!

    Have you tried Zumba? I’ve done it for about a year and a half. Free and in the comfort of my own home. Feel free to look up my playlist on YouTube. Search nicolevt83, it’s called Zumba Zumba. Just do what you can and if you aren’t comfortable or can’t do something just keep moving and modify it for yourself. Good Luck

    I have found popsugar on youtube offers many different types of workouts as well as lengths to better suit your life style. They are fun and you can try them out without fees!

    P90x and Insanity are high impact, but they offer modified workouts within each video. I've found them to be helpful and they are made for home use.

    Check out HAS fit on YouTube or their website. They have beginner and low impact videos. It’s free and the videos are quality, in my opinion.

    I really like Jessica Smith’s free workouts on YouTube. Huge variety and lots of low-impact.

    Not sure how much you are planning to spend, but I have Beachbody on demand. It's about $20 a month (there may even be a sale on right now) but it is 100% worth it. So many workouts, some low impact, others have a lot of jumping and things. Some ask you to have equipment, but it isn't necessarily important and you will get a good workout without them. Most are an even better workout with a couple of dumbbells though.
