I'm looking for a few more exercises for those of us who can't afford too much. Best one I've found so far:
Step ups - 10-16 calories burned per minute

    You can go on youtube and find free ex videos. I use the 30ds and there are plenty of others.
    Good luck!

    lol@ Kegels.

    I've read about using old jugs as weights. I remember when I was younger my dad told me to just start off with a large can of tomatoes and start from there.

    Pushups (Strict, from knees, elevated, plyometric, hand stand, hand release)
    Situps (strict, knees to chest, crunches)
    Butterfly kicks
    Leg raises
    Bear Crawls
    Crab Walks
    Standing Jumps / Box Jumps
    Step Ups
    Burpees
    Run
    Walk
    Jog
    Sprint
    Broad Jump
    Walking Lunges
    Jumping Jacks
    Squats

    If you have a bar, tree limb, or something else sturdy to hold on to:
    Pullups
    Chinups
    Dips
    Knees to chest
    Toes to bar
    Leg raises
    Muscle ups
    Gorilla hangs (for grip strength)

    If you have a little money:
    Jump rope
    Cheap weights (buckets and jugs are fine)

    Add some weight to any of the above exercises and you create hundreds of variations.

    Here's a quick one that is short, but effective. Depending on your shape, increase the reps and/or sets.

    10 Burpees
    10 Squats
    10 Burpees

    Our cable provider has workouts available On Demand. There's also a lifestyle channel on our cable lineup that I've DVR'ed a bunch of workouts from. Could be an option for you.

    I would also try and start and save a little money each week - only a few dollars/pounds and wait till next year. Everybody will be buying gym equipment in the new year and then get fed up and you will be able to find it cheap on selling sites such as gumtree/craigslist.
