    I love mall walking! Great way to get exercise in a wonderful air conditioned environment. You'd be surprised the number of people that show up before the shops open just to exercise!

I'm looking into getting a treadmill for at home, but for now I find going to the mall a good option for walking. I'll literally walk the entire indoor perimeter for an hour non-stop. It's not ideal but it's a free way to get some walking in when the weather isn't cooperating.

Some great ideas above! You can go to youtube.com and type searches for "chair exercise" .. they have some pretty good ones on there to follow.

I live in NJ and we are stuck with very cold winter now, however I did invest in a machine for indoors (gazelle edge), it was cheap and fits the level of activity I can do. I also spent a couple extra more on 2 lb dumbells and a stretch band, I use those for upper body exercise. One of our schools in town offer the use of their swimming pool for $4 to the community, so I take advantage of that as well.

I also do the walk away the pounds I have the 1, 2 and 3 mile one. It really makes you sweat.

Do you have any type of game station? How about dvd? There are cardio, exercise and dancing dvds.

For some great fat burning and toning exercises. Do full squats, using your lower body you are activating over 200 muscles!! I do at least 50 squats a day. Make sure you go below parallel (you can you tube CROSSFIT squats)

Also on crossfit.com they have full exercise workouts you can do at home. Some are pretty intense, I love doing them. I am rv ing right now in Tampa Florida and the last few days I been doing my crossfit workouts.

Good Luck and if you have any other questions just ask!!! ;)
