What's a good home alternative to running through the neighborhood for exercise?

I NEED exercise, and I want to run, cause for me, that's the fastest way to burn calories. But, it's just too cold for me to run outside, and i do not have a treadmill at home either.

So what can I do at home to burn as much calories as running?


Turn on your radio, turn it up and dance!! Ask someone to join you, have some fun!!

IF U HAVE STAIRS...RUN UP AND DOWN THE STAIRS. OR RUN LAPS AROUND A TABLE. OR RUN IN PLACE

turn up some up beat music and dance! and you could run in place and do jumping jacks

try running in place

Jumping Jacks, Jump Rope, Running in place are your main choices.

Tou can also do many strength exercises in your home. Dumbells are relatively cheap.

For around $30 bucks a month you can be a member at a gym and have access to all the cardio equipment you can handle.

In the order starting with most calories burned (all are less than running, unfortunately):

1) Jump rope

2) Stair climbing

3) Aerobic dance/high impact aerobics/step aerobics

Good luck! Also consider a gym membership for treadmill access or weather appropriate running clothes. Your body heats up and adjusts pretty quickly with the right protective material.
