exercises to do at home

There are lots of options on the web. Just do a bit of research and see what type works for you.

Here is one link for bodyweight exercises.

Calisthenics and bodyweight exercises require nothing but your body. Jumping jacks, bridges, squats, lunges, burpees, wheels, crunches, bicycles, leg lifts, pushups, tricep dips, skaters, etc.

Dancing is also great exercise and requires nothing other than your body, though music does make it more fun.

There are also some low cost small items you can buy to icrease intensity like a step, resistance bands, or jump rope.

Burpees, push ups, jumping jacks, vertical jumps

Squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press.

Umm, she said she doesn't have equipment.

I like the down and dirty basic strength movements just about as much as anyone but it seems people just cram them down the throats of others regardless of the context of their situation. I'm not knocking you here... but as a fitness community we need to do a better job and providing context-specific advice on the individual level.

I don't see anywhere in the OP that says that. But okay.

I downloaded the Your Are Your Own Gym app on my cell phone. Its was $3 i believe and an amazing investment. Its a ten week program that is very easy to follow. I have defiantly noticed results (Currently on day 30) and plan to repeat the program many times on increasingly difficulty levels.

I also do Jillian Micheal's DVDs, elliptical and running.

I have a gym membership right now, but I haven't used it recently. I prefer to do my workouts whenever/where ever I feel inclined to. I planned on a segment of the YAYOG during my lunch break in my office actually :-)

I can think of a couple but most would get me a strike.

I've just started walking using the perimeter of the yard as a track. I have a decent sized yard that is fenced all the way around. I just walk at a steady comfortable pace along the fence. Sometimes I weave random paths around the yard to change things. I have two dogs and a small child, so it's something I can do while keeping watch and they can still have their outdoor playtime. My wife and I often work odd shifts to minimize the time our child is at the babysitter. I recently got a Fitbit, so I've been doing whatever I can think of to increase steps, floors, and very active minutes.

Hello, I am trying to incorporate more activity into my life and I was wondering if any of you knew of any exercises that can be done at home, without a dvd?

Youtube has tons for free! Just do a search for type of workout you're looking for.

I dont know a lot about exercise to be honest, im working up to that lol. But personally I do squats and push ups every day, and sometimes I do yoga (following a video on youtube, so its free unlike a DVD). But thats just me, I agree that it depends on what your goals are!

I'm recommending videos, because just showing me the exercise will not work -- I need someone yelling at me through a screen.

hulu has a lot of variety available for free under their 'health and wellness' TV genre, though you'll have to dig to find full-length episodes.

My favorites off of hulu are blogilates, fitness blender (soooo much variety there!), and the jillian michaels app.

There are also a lot you can torrent, if you're willing to risk the wrath of the law.

I'd recommend, if you're doing a lot of stuff at home, investing in two sets of weights (one light and one heavy) and a yoga mat. You can get all that for $25-30 at someplace like TJ Maxx. I'm using books right now instead of weights, which just doesn't have the same effect. I've also found that actually buying things makes me way more motivated to do the exercises associated (I don't want to do pre-bed yoga tonight... but I did spend $10 on this mat... so I may as well do it...)
