    Push-ups, squats, the plank, lunges, bicycle crunches. Do this in a circuit and you're golden.

    Pull-ups and hand-stand push-ups (using a wall, or without if you are agile enough)

    I don't know, ive got the Wii fit and I do Jogging or Step Aerobics on it and its an ok work out, the jogging you can set for a think 30 mins but the steps i just keep going over them and do half hr or so.

    I agree - I love my Wii Fit and think it's a pretty good workout for days when I need to get something in but don't have a ton of time!! Wii boxing is also a great one!! But I guess it all depends on the person! Right now, for me - I think Wii Fitt is amazing and I would call it a work out :)

    Run your stairs, box jump to your second/third step, if it is feasible in your home, take a lounge chair, love seat or sofa and push it up and down your hallway as fast as you can.

    Go run/walk in the rain! It's a blast every now and then! (Caveat: don't go if it's lightning!)

    Absolutely! Walking in the woods is a blast in the rain. And I trail run rain or shine. Tree cover helps, but won't keep you dry - but who cares? People miss out so much by staying in during rain. In fact, I met my wife hiking on a rainy day! Had either of us stayed in we would never have met since she is from out of state and would not be on that trail again.

    I have to disagree about the Wii Fit Plus, I use it on a regular basis for strength training,
    yoga and aerobics and I do get a good workout. Just last night i did Dance 2 on the
    Wii, three songs done twice each and I was soaked when I finished.
    I also do DVD's for strength training, If you use your Wii at least 30 mins a day you will
    see a difference. There are also challenges on this site you can join for the Wii.
    When the weather isn't good as we have had rain for days here, I still get my exercise
    in. :bigsmile:

    Do some heavy housecleaning!

    When I don't feel like working out (I have 4 workout DVD's) or just too "lazy" to go out or the weather is bad, I'll clean house for 3-4 hours. YES! Housecleaning can burn lots of calories (as long as you don't take too many coffee breaks, lol!).
