Workout in your apartment...

I use a treadmill "mostly due to knee injury in my past much easier on the knee then sidewalk" and dumbbells in my apartment and my wife uses work out videos pretty successfully in small amount of space

I lived in a small apartment and still live in a house with only a few small rooms (I like smaller places, less to clean). And I really like the normal dvd programs. The current space I have is about 5x6 feet. I'm doing Body Revolution right now, but I have more than enough room to do Brazil Butt Lift (which I use the cardio for instead of the BR cardio), Turbo Jam, and Insanity. I really like the programs because I get a really well rounded workout and you usually don't need much equipment. I think that for most people, you have to make a choice between working out and the coffee table. The coffee table lost for me!

I do usual body weight workouts. Even if I can't afford gym I still find them more fun than actual weights and would not go to gym anyways, and I'm still kinda new and relativelly weak so I don't need weights to get good gains yet. There are plenty of body weight movements what are light years away for me to master.

I work out at home doing some push ups, currently working to be able to do them with one arm, handstand push ups against a wall, abs, and legs by doing things like pistol squats. And then I go out at old playground for kids like 5 min away from my appartment where it's a great place to do pull ups and other stuff, werldly enough it's always empty, no kids seem to ever be there even if it's decent playground, only people with their dogs. It's spooky.

And for cardio I just run around the park...

I will keep doing body weight until I mastered it completelly and can do things like one arm, one leg push ups with two fingers or something i don't know, cos I really like that. ^^

I workout at home also. I hardly use equipment. The only thing I have is a medicine ball. And that's more for balancing.

Here are a few of the exercises I do.
Push-up. Simple. If you still need to work on your strength I suggest you elevate you hands (instead of dropping to your knees) Use a table or a chair. anything that can hold you. This way you build up strength in your core also (on knees push ups not as much). Want it to make it more difficult? Balance on 2 balls with our hands. or even 1 ball (diamond push up) or elevate your feet. or one leg in the air. or one arm push up

Prisoner get ups. Hands behind you head. lie down on teh floor. Get up without using your hands. Sounds simple but it helps the core.

Burpees. You have to do those. I think one of the best exercises and most hated exercises.

Pull ups. Use a very strong door.

Squats: simple. More difficult? get a good backpack and put books in it or bags of sand for weight. Those become easy? do Pistol squads. Good for balance and legs.

Lunges: same as squats use bags of books/sand for weight. or add a jump in it.

Dive bombers/hindu push up.

Use balls for balancing. Do a plank on a ball. It gets allot harder.
Use towels for grip or sliding. For example one arm to pull the towel up while the other one is resisting the pull up. pike walk. Instead of walking your arms out slide your arms out. or try sliding back also.

It aint hard to do it at home
Just get a killer workout tracklist of music you love and gets you full of energy.
Be creative with the things in your house.
Good luck and make sure to have fun while doing it. Makes it allot easier to keep going.

I live in a super small studio apartment. My go to videos are from Jillian Michaels, Blogilates.com, and Fitnessblender.com (they have a huge variety). Also check around just in case there is a cheaper gym around you. I did some digging and joinged a gym that only costs $15/month which is good anywhere but especially so for NYC.

...anyone else live in a small apartment and can't afford a gym? what kind of workouts do you do? I recently started doing a body weight routine and it's going alright. It's not as fun as lifting, so i was just wondering how you guys manage.

What kind of workouts are you looking to do?

Not sure how pricy kettle bells are but those are great. Just search kettle bell exercises. And as mentioned earlier… burpees- MUCH HATED but definitely necessary and worth the effort.

I live in an apartment too but fortunately my complex has a small gym on site with limited options. I find that a lot of the things I'm doing at the gym, I could theoretically be doing at home

So here goes:
running (it's too cold for me outside/ice everywhere but I like to run outside instead of on the treadmill these days)
weight lifting - get yourself a set of 5lb and a set of 10lb weights (or kettle) and there are plenty of exercises you can do with those
yoga / pilates - loads of options on youtube / pinterest
body weight exercises - push up, wall-sit, tricep dip on a chair, leg lifts (http://backonpointe.tumblr.com/post/24907237515)

Good luck

I really like stability ball exercises and mini-trampoline... although mostly I just jog on the trampoline because I live in a basement apartment with probably a 6'6" ceiling.

I just bought a set of TRX resistant bands. They're pricey but if you check out their Web site and don't buy anything you may get lucky like I did and get some banner ads for 20% off. There are tons of YouTube videos with TRX workouts.

I did insanity and I can relate to the complaint part but I Learned to land softly jm has good workout not alot of jumping and everyone gave good suggestions I'm lookin into something else now to for body fat % decrease to flatten my stomach more

I have done P90X, P90X2, Insanity, Insanity Asylum, T25, Les Mils Combat and I am now on P90X3. I also do a sandbag and custom workout with weights and bands

I have a knock off Suspension Training strap (like TRX) from Amazon. $40 bucks shipped to me and I am a happy gal. Change the angle, change the difficulty level. Its a workout for sure.
