    Check out fitnessblender.com. Very cool site!

    Also, someone here said they'd made their own kettlebells out of laundry detergent containers--filled with water, I think, but it could be something else. You can probably find it online.

    Press ups, the closer in you keep your elbows to your sides the more they work your arms not your chest (do them against a counter at first if you can't do them flat on the ground)
    If you have a sturdy and reasonably heighted bed frame, tricep dips from there.

    For your tummy, lying flat on your back and lifting your legs in the air (only just!) so your bum is on the ground but your legs aren't, keep them there for as long as possible and maybe moving them outwards and inwards.

    people are going to call me stupid but if you have access to internet I would suggest things like The 30 Day Fitness Challenges or possibly looking up Pilates moves on YouTube.

    If you're stupid then I am also stupid! I meant to suggest the 200 situps/100 push-up challenges. They're great! YouTube has TONS of workouts too. Great suggestion.

    Jillian Michael's 30 day shred rocks for arms and abs. It is $9 at places like Walmart. The first level (which you do for 10 days) is on youtube, so you can see how you like it before buying it. You use hand weights in the video, but if you don't have them, you can use cans of soup or something like that until you can get some weights (I use 3 lbs). Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pc-NizMgg8

    Youtube is a great source!

    My philosophy is that if you don't have motivation to do it on your own, you will never have the motivation to do it at the gym. I bought myself a pair of good running shoes and a yoga mat and that has been good enough for me. When finances are better I love being subscribed to myyogaonline.com but my hubby and I are attempting to get in a better place financially so back to youtube I go (and seriously, it is not just yoga, they have a ridiculous amount of just about anything that floats your boat)!
