Need help - Working out with out a gym

I'm new to working out, I had been going to curves the past 2 months but unfortunatly I can not afford the membership. I walk in my neighborhood when I can - approx 1 mile steep hills! but the weather has been soo crummy lately that I can't always get out to do that. so I'm here asking for help and advise!

I have been doing well on this journey, down 66lbs and don't want it to slow by lack of excersize! What do you do at home to work out? any adivise and suggestions would be great!!!

I have a twenty pound weight in my office that between patients I go and do six reps with. Just something I had to do to get my upper body strength back. I also started doing lunges at home. I get up in the morning and do twenty lunges on each leg before I get in the shower.

At night I turn on music loud in the living room and dance around with my kids. Lifting them and dancing around really is a work out.

I suggest turning on some music at some point in the day when no one is around and just dancing and singing your heart out. Even if it's only for two songs, that's ten minutes of having your heart rate up and burning calories while staying in doors.

I also have a DVD that I literally live by. It's called Slim in 6. I was 170 lbs and in the military when I got it and was sore as hell the next week. But doing it just 2 times a week really keeps your skin from getting saggy because it tones those muscles so well!
