    I'd be perfectly fine with running, cycling and having a few different kettlebell weights and my kettlebell DVD.

    OP, what are your goals, exactly? Judging by the available equipment mentioned, strength training? I'd look at the Starting Strength or Stronglifts programs. They each have 5 exercises, 4 of which are the same.

    But for fitness-related things in general, for me it would be:

    - Cycling
    - Gaelic Hurling
    - Cycling
    - Swimming
    - Cycling

    All I do is lifting and cardio.

    Of course, w/in those categories, I do more than 5 things.

    I only do 5 basic compound lifts (DL, SQT, BP, OHP & Rows) and 3 body weight exercises (pushups, pullups and dips).

    For cardio, I just row 10k meters/day. I also hike (3-10 miles/day) once a week when the weather's nice but that really doesn't count for much.

    Lift

    Yoga is a really good at-home practice. You can make it both very physically challenging, muscle-building, and meditative, if you have the proper practice.
