Another one of these posts...

Remember that post I made about nothing to do during the summer? Well sorry, but I have another problem that agian has to do with my parents! I'm having problems finding ways to get excercise. Okay, you might be thinking "How hard is it to excercise all you need to do is get on your bike and ride it!" Well, it's not like that for me. I'm not allowed to get a bike OR play outside by myself or even with friends. I'm not saying I'm going to be fat or anything but I'm sort of...weak. And I want to get stronger. I don't even have a backyard, and my friends arent allowed to come over much. All the exercise I can get is in the house, and the most I can do is jog in place or do jumping jacks. I skate once a week, but that's only one hour a week. Any advice?

You can jog in your house...that's what I do when it's rainy outside.

Zumba! I'm serious.

It's a dance aerobics thing, Google it, and find a place for it where you live. It's so awesome.

Or those handheld weights.

My parents don't like spending money either. I know it sucks!

Do you have any stairs? Try walking up and down them multiple times!

You don't need to spend a large amount of money to exercise, just be creative.

Find something heavy.

Lift it a few times.

Problem solved.

I like doing gymnastics in the backyard. Try yoga. I hated it, but it was fun!

What part of your body are you trying to strengthen? This will help everyone give you better suggestions for your at-home workouts! : )

My legs, I think. I'm like the only one in my skating rink who can't get their leg across the other leg on a spin!

One really good exercise you can do is stand on your toes/ball of your foot on the edge of a stair, with your heels hanging off the edge of it. , Then, using your foot/calf muscles, raise yourself up so that you are standing in the same spot, but up on your toes instead of letting your heels hang down. Hold that position for several seconds, then slowly lower yourself again so your heels are hanging down. Rise up again, and try to visualize the muscles in your legs working. It helps you to focus on using just your leg muscles and gives you a more effective workout. Repeat the rising and lowering of your heels as much as you can tolerate. You can do these every day or every other day, and you will notice your legs becoming very toned.
