    PUSH UPS....they've been amazing for me. I got Jillian Micheal's 30 day shred...able to maybe do about 8 girl push ups. a few months later and I can do about 40 straight, and 10 man-push ups...something I've never been able to do in my life! also, get a set of weights and go to work!

    push ups, yoga and pilates. Gaiam has a great series of yoga and pilates DVDs that you can pick up at Target and Barnes & Noble for sure, and of course at gaiam.com. some of the workouts are only 20 minutes which is great for a busy day
