i'm looking through the exercise list as i intend to become more active soon. i cannot afford a gym and it's going to be -35 for the next couple months. so i'm stuck with indoor exercise - and i do not own a television. i was thinking of doing old fashioned exercises - jumping jacks, burpees, etc - but can't find much on…
