    I've had good success with the original Jorge Cruise "Eight Minutes in the Morning," initially uses just dumb bells ... eventually I got ankle weights, but you don't need to start. Basic weight training, much with your own weight, and really is something I can do, given the time scenario!

    Use your own weight. For example: stand up and put your 2 hands in front of a wall, your legs together and then do the same movement as push ups; the more separation between you and the wall more effort; try to make 1000 of those. Standing push-ups.

    Check out the bodyweight group here. I also recommend You Are Your Own Gym a book by Mark Lauren along with the app of the same name for Android devices (around $2 in the market). The book is one of the best on bodyweight training. I would suggest doing something more full body than so focused on specific muscle groups.

    Go to www.fitnessblender.com and do the exercise routines for the body part you're interested in. They come in video and text.

    Good luck!
