too cold, snowy, icy to walk outside and can't afford gym or equipment. So what can I do at home? And I don't care for videos.

    Well that limits things... Are you sure you WANT to work out? If yes, then my only suggestion is to look up printable body weight routines.

    Google "best hotel room workouts". I travel a lot and have used workouts I find online that I can do in a hotel room without any equipment. Good luck!

    Do you have a smartphone? There are several apps that have exercise routines. I'm currently using 30 day butt challenge, 30 day burpee challenge & 30 day cardio challenge. App tells me how many reps of each exercise. Include an instructional video. Remind you each day to exercise.

    No videos? :| Well then don't go to the awesome website known as Fitnessblender.com, which has over 400 free workouts of varying lengths, many requiring zero equipment, just body weight. Ignore that. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

    So put on some music and dance around for 30 minutes.

    Do you have stairs in your house? Run up and down them.
    Jumping jacks, sit-ups, squats, jump rope, lunges. The possibilities are multiple. Good luck. The hardest part is starting.

    Calisthenics aka bodyweight exercises. All you need is a floor.

    Do the hokey-pokey over and over for 30 minutes getting faster as you go. Works for kindergardeners. :p

    Yoga and Pilates are my faves at home. There is also a seemingly unlimited amount of workout videos on YouTube. I did a cardio-dance one the other night that really did kick my butt!

    Checkout THEBETTYROCKER.com She has instructional videos but then your supposed to do 3 sets of her moves. All of her stuff is body weight oriented so no gym and no equipment is needed

    Push up progressions, squat progressions, glute bridge-type progressions, pull up progressions, core progressions, mobility + flexibility work & interval cardio.

    Don't know your current abilities, but you should be able to work up to some decent strength, flexibility and c-v fitness with limited room and no equipment. (for example one arm push ups, single leg squats, strict pull ups, various planking maneuvers, front/side splits and tabata squats)

    I like the old adage that "good kung fu can be practiced in the shadow of a cow". The same is true of a lot of quality exercise (including all the harder examples I give above)

    Just takes time, effort, hard work and patience.
