And since exercise is so important, you need to find exercises that are effective and don’t require any equipment at all.

 If the weather is nice, it’s wonderful to get outside to walk and enjoy the scenery around you while you exercise. However, if the weather has other ideas, you can just as easily get an effective walking workout at home. If you have a flight of stairs, go up and down them a few times.  This will help to tone up your legs, while getting some low impact aerobic exercise as well. Jumping jacks are are always fun, as they bring back memories of being a kid. Pushups are probably not the most favorite exercise of many people, but while they can be hard to do, you can find easier ways to do them. Just do what works for you: do them on your knees, instead of keeping your legs straight. Or, do them standing up against a wall. Crunches are the best exercise for building up and strengthening abdominal muscles. Jogging is a great exercise for your heart. You can jog in place at home while watching TV or listening to music. Squats are wonderful exercises for your legs. You can even just try these by sitting and standing up again from a regular chair, if you’re finding them to be too difficult. Use whatever you can find in your house to do some light weight lifting. Start out with something lighter, such as a can of peas, and work yourself up to heavier items. You can use milk jugs, laundry detergent bottles or even water jugs. Dancing is a wonderful exercise, which is great for your heart. Not only that, but it can lift your spirits as well. Also using the steps in your home, you can do repetitions which will tone your leg muscles.
