You could go with a few cardio videos and a couple dumb bells.

There are all kinds of stuff you can do!! If you have a hallway, do lunges back & forth...do squats during commercials, count your reps and try to beat your # the next time...push ups/sit ups are basic non-equipment moves you can do....take a kitchen chair and do some tricep dips...you can do alot with just basic household stuff

Leslie Sansone's walking workouts. You can find some on You Tube. I have done them and they do get your going.

Magnamus

-standing squats
-one legged squats (use a chair if you need one, go as low as possible then back up)
-push-ups
-whenever you stand bend your knees a little it'll work your butt and thighs nice and gently
-jumping jack
-skip rope
-jump ...just jump...a lot.. up the stairs is even better
-chin-ups if you can create a set-up of sorts
-sit-ups
-anything with an exercise ball
-self-improvised yoga

There you go!

30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels... find it on Youtube... 10 days each for levels 1-3.
You need a jog bra and some 3-5 lb weights or some cans of soup.
It's a 20 minute workout with some warm up and cool down. It'll kick your butt.

Jillian michaels DVDs or download some apps for your smartphone or tablet if you have one. Walks around your neighborhood if that's an option. I love my treadmill.

Here's an exercise routine that I saw on here an liked. You can use pretty much any 4 exercises for it, so you can do things that don't need equipment, like squats, push ups, crunches, dips, etc...

"Get a regular ol' deck of playing cards and keep the jokers in. Pick four exercises and assign one to each suit. Today I am doing heart = clean and press, diamond = sumo deadlift high pull, spade = medicine ball slams, club = sit up. Start flipping the cards of the deck over. Complete the number of reps the card is for the exercise assigned to the suit. So I flip the 7 of hearts, I will do 7 clean and presses. Aces are 11 reps and jokers are a 1 minute plank. Keep flipping until you have gone through the entire deck.

You will end up doing 65 reps of each exercise :-) "

^^Agreed. It's also sold at Target/Walmart for a liiiiiil under $10 and COMPLETELY worth every penny! I LOVE Jillian Michaels! (I plan on doing her Ripped in 30 after I finish 30 Day Shred. 14 more days to go!)

omg this!! Or, the DVD is $9 at Target. I enjoyed being able to use my husbands big TV to do the workouts.
I'm an at home mom with almost the same schedule, and the results were mind blowing.

I love plyo stuff. Like squats. Lunges. Jumping jacks. Step ups. Dips. Push-ups. Etc. also check out the website bodyrock.tv awesome site that shows u how to do hard stuff that really sculpts your body. Always Remeber do something that PUSHES you beyond what may feel easy or comfortable (as long as you aren't hurting yourself) to really get those results fast and tight

Please google Tabata training, there are a few bodyrocks vidoes on it.

I have a routine I do, takes less than an hours, works your whole body, and you can do it in front of a TV
