exercises you can do in your room...
arms/chest:
- standard pushups (alternate between standard, wide-grip, diamond, fingertips)
- elevated pushups (feet on bed or chair/feet on chair, one arm each on a chair)
- dips (feet on bed, arms on a chair behind you
- arm circles (do 50 4-count forward rotations, then reverse)
abs/core
- supermans (lay on stomach, elevate feet and whole arms and hold for 10 seconds)
- standard mix of situps/crunches
- gladiators (pushup position only on your elbows, clasp your hands, keep your body straight,hold pose)
- leg throws (lay on back, hands over head gripping stationary object, lower legs to 6 in. above floor, alternate straight/left/right)
- bicycle/flutter kicks
- lay on stomach with toes pointed (important), lift as much upper body off floor as possible, bring hand to same shoulder as if you were doing a lat-pull motion
legs
- lunges (there are many varieties)
- wall sits
- calf raises (it will take a while without weights, but you'll get a burn eventually)
- donkey kicks (get on all fours, extend one leg straight out while purposefully flexing glutes)
- squats (hands over on back of head, this gets tiring surprisingly quick)
- leaps (you look funny doing this, but gosh if it doesn't give a workout)
anyway... there are a few. each exercise has plenty of variations. getting in on a fitness yoga instruction will give you more ideas and an easily transportable routine.
