You could do Piles. Very good for your legs/butt.
workout at home. there is a chick on YouTube who does videos of home workouts. i think her screen name is like charliejames1975 her website is www.bodyrock.tv I know somebody posted her video on here before I just can't remember where. I've never tried her workouts but one day I might.
If not, running around the block is always good

i HATE running. But it's good if there's nothing else.
Workout videos/dvds. I used to do these when I couldn't afford a gym membership. Some are really cheesy but they get the job done. Youtube also has a few, and if your cable comes with it, there is FitTV. And shape.com has some at-home exercises and workouts on their website.
You can do body-weight exercises. Squats, plies, lunges, pushups, tricep dips, planks and variances of planks. In between those you can add cardio such as running up stairs, jumping jacks, jump rope, box jumps, toe-touches on a pillow or couch cushion, jumps across a rolled up towel. Hop-scotch too works lol.
Good luck!

jumprope! pole if you have one? jumping jacks, ashtanga/power yoga (watch youtube videos), bicycle everywhere instead of driving





Yeah but walking takes FOREVER. I love my bike and I live downtown so its way faster than driving or subwaying always. And now im officially one of those nerds with a milk crate strapped to the back so I can carry tons of my crap with me too!!! Oh yeah, and no gas, no parking tickets, and no blisters!





The spartacus workout. JD posted it somehwere on here a while back but i will repost the video.. havent done it in a while but it is effective and takes about 45 min and you can do it at home. you just need a pair of dumbells (probably 10lbs is a good weight unless you are very weak or already lift a lot). and i have a yoga mat that i do it on.

The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.




Kegals! Granted, you'll have to do a lot, but you get to sit on your ass and reap the rewards when it comes to sex.
And when you're ready for a real challenge, alternate between vaginal and anal kegals.
Feel the burn!





A girl like you needs a pole, if at all possible.
But if you can't have one at home, there's a lot of other stuff you can do.
The truth of the matter is, I would never go to the gym if I could hang a bag in my house. But even though there is no one sleeping on the floor below, there could easily be on the floor below that, and the live-in manager who has the old servant's quarters halfway to the other end (it's a huge old house divided into apartments, as is common right down in Oldtown) would freak the fuck out at the kind of vibrations a 100 lb bag would get going in an old wooden house.
Anyway, everything else I do I could do easily at home, handstand pushups, chinups, dips, and so forth. And even if you prefer equipment, if you spent the same money you pay in gym fees on exercise equipment, you could easily build up a nice home gym. Buy it used for sure, you'll save so much.
Until then, maybe ride a bike (get a good one like a used Trek so you will enjoy it, it makes a difference!), go swimming? Is there rock climbing where you live, I love that! Oh also those resistance band techniques are amazing, and they are really cheap.

jillian michaels has some great DVDs
P90x, power walking, running are some of the things I do. I don't have a gym membership at the mo.

Get the TRX system. You can set it up literally anywhere, and it folds into a pouch the size of a makeup bag. The system was designed and used by Navy SEALs who use it while on deployment to forward bases. The workouts will kick your butt, and will exercise every tiny little muscle you have in your body. I cannot say enough good stuff about the TRX system.
