in Fitness and Exercise
I already do an hour of Zumba (Zumba Fitness Rush Xbox Kinect). I really love it! Anyway, are there any other exercises you do besides crunches ? Something fun? I live in a small apartment so as much as I want a treadmill, the only place I can put it is on the roof. I get anxious in public and due to my work schedule and school, I don't have much time to go for exercise classes.

I am also a clean freak, so i do housework at least once a week, I guess that counts as exercise lol. So yes, new suggestions?

    You might check out bodyrocktv.com or check them out on facebook.
    They have some great at home videos. They are high intensity but only 12 minutes. A new video is posted daily. I love body rockin!
    But you're exactly right, even staying active cleaning house, etc. is better than nothing.
    Remember you're lapping everyone on the couch!

    My wife's a stay at home mom, so she can't really get out to a gym these days. I got her a kettlebell (15 lbs) and a standard barbell with 160 lbs of plates (2x25, 6x10, 4x5, 4x2.5 - $160 total). Pick up a set of those puzzle piece looking high density foam squares that go on the floor (cheap at Wal-mart or Lowe's). Put two down on each side where the plates touch the floor. Excellent home workout, and easily broken down and stowed away.

    You can do a ton with just a barbell - deadlifts, cleans, curls, front squats. No super-heavy weights, though. You want to stay light enough where you don't need a spotter, but heavy enough to get a workout with reps.
