sooo. today is a rainy day. can't go outside, can't go for a hike, can't go for a jog/run, can't go play disc golf. i don't belong to a gym (yet). zumba classes are monday & wednesdays. i don't own any fitness videos. i do own a wii fit.. but i would hardly call that a workout. so my question is "what are some good home exercises to do to get a beneficial workout for today"?

If you have cable the exercise network might have something or I love Exercise on Demand..0

Look up body weight exercises, make some free-weights if you don't have them by using old gallon milk jugs filled with water or sand, instant weight, with a handle... use canned goods if you don't have the milk jugs.0

take a day off! or... do some heavy house cleaning0

Bump.......
If you have a skipping rope thats a great way to get moving0 -
I second the suggestion about cable. OnDemand there's exercisetv and a sports and fitness part in the "mag rack" section that has tons of videos.0

Video on Demand is a good option as someone else suggested, if you have access. Pushups, squats, lunges, "jump rope", wall sit, basic pilates or yoga stretches. Heck, turn on some music and dance it out for 30 minutes. Be active and burn some calories. Have fun...0

Do a small 30 minute circuit-- get some jumping jacks, lunges and burpees in for cardio...do some crunches and oblique work, push ups and planks work the whole body, some different squats and wall sits for your legs and just mix it up. I sometimes will just pick out 6 workouts and do them for 1 minute each 5 times to get a small circuit in and you don't need ANY equipment AND its a whole body workout. I guarentee you sweat if you use all the workouts listed above0

If you have a smartphone there is also a Virtual App Gym that has some great home exercises you can do. YouTube also has some good videos.0

Hi!
You could make a circuit in the house using the home made weights mentioned earlier, any long hall ways (sprints) and stairs, mixed with press ups sit ups and jogging on the spot.
Wow I have way more ideas than I thought - sorry I don't actually do them lol!
Good luck and have fun xx0 -

This site has great ideas about how to get a great workout without a gym membership. Just ignore the blatant sales ads and sales pitches for the USA device.
You can do burpees(look them up on youtube) you can jump rope, pushups, situps, squats, planks etc.
If your brave soul decides to try burpees so a tree set. first do 10, then rest, then 9, rest, 8, rest etc. If you cannot throw in the pushup in the middle don't put it in there. do them without the pushup. Do the pushups afterwards seperately. You should be able to do the set of burpees in 5-10 mins. Afterwards you will not want to do anything else, so this is where your workout will end for the day.0 -

Do you have cable on Demand? ExerciseTV is awesome...or FitTV on the regular channels. If not here's a little workout for you!!!50 jumping jacks, 20 pushups, followed by 30 crunches, then 25quats....boxing jabs, both sides 25times...knees up running in place, lunges, then do 30 more crunhes....followed by 20 more pushups...and you can just be creative...switch it up from cardio to strength!!Good luck!!:bigsmile:0

Go run/walk in the rain! It's a blast every now and then! (Caveat: don't go if it's lightning!)0
-
Push-ups, squats, the plank, lunges, bicycle crunches. Do this in a circuit and you're golden.0

YoutubeSearch for "Sarah Fit" or "Blogilates" or "Bodyrock" and you'll find tons of good stuff!!
