This NY Times article links to a paper by the American College of Sports Medicine.
It's a series of simple body-weight exercises you can do anywhere.
If you want a longer workout, repeat the cycle.
The NYT now has an app for the exercise program. I find it very useful. There is a link at the top of the article.0 -
Thank you to all for your advice and suggestions.0

I do yoga. I know a lot of people discount it, but it's my main exercise and I'm much, much stronger than I've ever been.0

Planks, mountain climbers are good ones too0

I've been using the app "Pumpup" for body-weight exercises in my living room. I have no equipment either and love this app. It's been great to build up my strength in all my muscles and adds variation so you aren't stuck doing the same thing every day.0

I have been doing cardio on my elliptical but want to start a little strength training. What simple at home exercises are you doing or recommend? Simple = able to do without equipment, not how much effort it takes. No pain no gain (or loss) right?
Pushups
Planks
Mountain climbers
Burpees
Squats
Chair dips

It is winter. Go rake leaves and pick up sticks. If you don't have leaves, I am sure some neighbor does. What a way to do a good deed. Go rake their yard. Burns lots of calories and works those upper arms like you would not believe!!0

Pinterest is a GREAT resource for at home, no equipment workouts AND you can target various areas of your body. I have boards set-up for arms, chest & back, abs, glutes and legs! Great references and your finger tips. It's always good to go back to the basics like many have shared: Push-ups, triceps dips, crunches/sit-ups, squats, calf raises, jumping jacks, burpees, planks, mountain climbers. And don't forget all the variations of the exercises you can do! Incline push-ups, side crunches, legs held at 90 degree crunches, plie squats...enjoy and use your imagination. :-D0

Oh, and wall sits! I hate them, but they are sooooo effective. :-D High knees, butt kickers... sorry they aren't all strength training, I normally incorporate non equipment cardio when I'm strength training to switch things up. :-D0
