Lift weights with gallons of milk. Carry laundry baskets up the stairs. Sit ups, push ups, leg lifts, tai chi, dance to blaring music in your living room, garden, baby sit a toddler, clean house, move your furniture around, flip your mattresses, jumping jacks, squats..... 

I walk most days and do my DVD exercises. That's all we need. It works!!!!  

There are exercise videos on youtube. One I like was Jessica Smith, she has a website www.jessicasmithtv.com. They have weight training videos too. 

There are free videos on youtube or if you have a roku there are free exercise channels (my 'slow dance' exercise logs are ballet exercise videos from one of the free roku channels)Hulu and Amazon prime also have exercise videos and I believe netflix does, although we got fed up with their poor customer/tech support when compared to hulu and prime, so don't have netflix anymore. I enjoy switching up what exercise videos I do so it's nice to be able to stream on the computer or tv. Also A lot of Hulu is free on the computer so they may have exercise videos you can stream there if u don't have a script. 

Thank you everybody, I will definitely check out the DVD's and videos. I work, so I have to find something I can incorporate into my life without consuming it. Walking and a workout video sounds perfect. I appreciate your ideas. 

I have a set of Thera Bands, they're basically surgical tubing with handles, you can make up a set or buy the handles and tubing at a local athletic supply, I can't do without them and use them for a 45 minute upper body workout 3x / week. 

I get more exercise out of my walking, which is free, than my Curves membership :) At least that's what my WW Activity Monitor tells me. I got a Fitbit in the mail today and have to get it started to see what it tells me. But I know for a fact I feel the walking making the biggest impact right now, and I am going to add weights to my hands to help with my upper body conditioning while I'm walking. So go for it !!
