    Body weight exercises. I have been doing these.
    Squats, lunges, push-ups.

    This is what I was gonna say.

    Unless you're a lot more advanced, there's usually a variation of body-weight exercises that'll lend to your capabilities.

    Even pushups have a few dozen variations.

    Try using one leg, one arm, on your knees, one leg up, etc etc on exercises, and you'll find they hit your body at different levels.

    I did them for part of a year before I actually got into weights.

    Just do your best to be safe, and use good form.

    Hula hoop to your fav TV program. During the commercials, run or walk in place. Thanks how I started. I now run & do Insanity.

    I can't stop laughing at this... Once when I went to toys r us and pulled the hula hoop up, let go.. and it stayed up like a belt.. lmaoooo!!!! I decided to leave hula hooping alone!!

    Jillian Michael 30 Day Shred has been a great work out for me its is only a 20 minute... Been doing it for 25 days and am on Level 2.... I am doing each level for 15 days and after completing Level one I had lost over 6 inches overall... four of those in my waist. Make sure you take measurements and pictures so that you can monitor your progress along the way. She kicks but but it is wonderful to feel yourself grow stronger by the day! Best of Luck to you!!:wink:

    Wow that Body Rock looks tough. Do they have anything for beginners? There is also ExerciseTV and Spark people have exercises on their site too.

    Bodyrock goes through modifications for all the exercises. They are thinking of doing beginner, intermediate and advanced workouts.

    I do bodyrock and really enjoy it. I had never felt so strong in my life.

    I am a bodyrocker too and I love it. The workouts are tough but they are all modifiable. I've only been doing it for 2 months and can see big differences in my body. I love it because they are fast, the workouts usually take about 15 minutes. If I have more time I'll go through them 2 or 3 times. Its appealing for us Mom's. I send my daughter upstairs to change out of her school clothes and can be finished before she gets back. Its so great.
