What are good exercises ...

ShifuYaku

When you are alone in your room, and the gym is closed? Or when the gym is closed on the weekend and you don't want to go running outside.

I just want some exercises, like sit ups... or something new that I can do by myself. Any ideas?

I love to do stuff like this if I don't feel like going to the gym!! I like to do jump squats, push ups, jump lunges, jumping jacks, knee tuck jump rope without the jump rope haha, sit ups, planks, side planks, I do this in a circuit type workout, and burn awesome calories according to my HRM. good luck!

Here are some of my favorites
Turn up the music and dance dance dance- I set a kitchen timer so I can make sure I do 20-30 mins at least.
When the house is messy I multitask by listening to my MP3 and when I mopp I litterally run around the kitchen when I go up and down the stairs I run (very carefully- LOL In bare feet is safest.) I do lunges when I bend to pick up toys.
I jog in place while watching a movie- this one is FANTASTIC because before you know it it's been an hour if you are really into the move. Just make sure you warm up well trust me I sprained my calf doing this without warming up first. But it's great!
These are my main fall backs Good Luck! I also have a book called Hormonal Timing with some great circuits in there- ( no eqipment needed but some cheap handweights ) you can google buff mother hormonal timing to find her site. She rocks and also she is on youtube her name is Michelle Burger. Good Luck

Dd just got a skip it at her birthday party today. I might have to steal it to try it tomorrow morning.
Personally, I think Burpees are just about the worst exercise ever. I would rather do jumping jacks for 10 minutes than burpees for two. Yick!
