Re: No Exercise Equiment
Walking up & down stairs is excellent exercise. Do you have a bike? Cycling is really good too. Walking is very good also...maybe up some hills for a challenge. Also vaccuming, sweeping, washing floors, yard work...Julie__________________F/37/5'2"__________________Start April 15, 2009

Re: No Exercise Equiment
You could improvise by using two water bottles or tins of beans instead of hand weights!

Re: No Exercise Equiment
Walking is great.
There is also some suggestions in the beginning of the strength challenge. You can look at those to see if something works.
I suggest perhaps entering the squat challenge too. Squats are good exercises.Startdate: November 18, 2007. Female 5'2"

Re: No Exercise Equiment
Walking, jogging in place, squats, stretches, lunges, jumping jacks and mountain climbers are good to start off with. For endurance and strength training, you can squat as low as low as you can and balance a hard cover book in each hand with your arms stretched out. Count to 20, stand up and repeat. You can also use a gallon of water/milk in place of a kettle ball...that will help your back and shoulders. Another back strengthening exercise is to do what your kids do when they watch tv...lay on your stomach, prop your chin in your hands and swing your legs from left to right...it helps your lower back.Comment
