2. Walking - If the weather is nice, this is a great outdoor activity. Find a nice place to walk and take advantage of the fresh air, sunshine and scenery. This keeps it much more enchanting and fun than walking on a treadmill in your basement.
If the weather exterior is not fit for walking, you can stay indoors and do stair climbs instead. This exercise is more of a challenge and can well get your heart pumping if you keep the pace high and rest periods short. Try going up the stairs at a brisk pace and walk back down at your general speed. Do any sets and you will feel the burn in your legs.
3. Running in place - If you can't go exterior and have no steps at home try running in place. This can be done while watching Tv or listening to your Mp3 player or radio. Try to articulate a brisk pace for maximum benefits.

Step up with one foot and then the other, then step back down with one foot and then the other. Increase the pace for a higher intensity workout.
5. Pushups - Pushups are great for developing arm, shoulder and chest muscles. If you find them to be too difficult at first, try doing them on your knees instead of with your legs straight out.

on a chair. This method well works the shoulders and chest muscles.
