I am kinda self conscious about running outside in the open because I don't want people to look at me, so I do the majority of the exercising in my home. I would like to expand my work out though.
So far I do these:

Bicycle kicks
Planks
Lunges across the room
Jumping jacks
Leg lifts
and Sit-ups

Does anyone know of other exercises that I could add to this regimen?

    Check out youtube for various exercises. When the weather is bad or I only have a short time I go stand in front of a computer and do a 10min/30min cardio workout. There are hundreds so your bound to find one you are happy to do.
    If having a computer in front of you to watch while doing is out of the question, try watching a few so that they give you ideas.

    In purely adding to your list though:
    squats
    step up (any size step you can find)
    side plank
    push ups
    bench dip

    Good luck :)

    Believe me when you are out exercising no one is looking at you. Don't be so self conscious get out and enjoy the fresh air.

    Yup, plus mountain climbers, sumo squats/plies(challenge: on your toes!), arabesque/hip extension, calf raises, backbends, releve plies, and lots of yoga exercises (see youtube) like crow pose, camel.

    I do a lot of short circuit training workouts at work on my break. I don't have any equipment except sometimes maybe a jumprope.
