If you don't have the kind of money for equipment, I would suggest some excersize tapes that you can use. They aren't too expensive and can work well.

And also you could just get some friendz to go outside w/ you cause then your dad will probally be more likely to let you. As for some indoor excercises you could do some situps or even buy an excercise tape and follow along to it! (:
confused18 answered Wednesday July 26 2006, 2:29 pm: tell that if he isnt going to go let you excerise outside than to get you a tredmill or some other equiment thing. or if hes that over protective that he should watch you when you go outside .. or if he doesnt want to do all them things and he should just let you go outside like any other normal father would [ confused18's advice column | Ask confused18 A Question ]

To do this exercise, start by lying on the floor with your knees bent and feet firmly on the floor. Lightly place your hands just below and to the sides of your belly button. Firmly press two fingers from each hand into your lower abdomen. Gently begin to draw your lower abdomen down towards the floor (picture a string pulling your navel towards the floor) but do not move your pelvis, raise your chest or hold your breath. Stop drawing in your stomach as soon as you feel your muscles get tight. The muscles underneath your fingers should feel taut but the movement does not require a lot of effort. If you move too far, you will in fact stop working your transverse abs and begin to work your oblique muscles (your side abdominal muscles) instead. Hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds, breathing normally the entire time. Do ten repetitions.
Scissor Kicks
To do this abdominal exercise, start by lying on the floor. Place your hands under your buttocks and keep your back pressed against the floor. Raise one leg about 10 inches off the ground and slowly lower it back down. As you lower the one leg, raise the other. Do three sets of ten repetitions.
Pelvic Tilts
Lying on the floor with your back pressed against the floor, bend your knees keeping your feet on the ground. Slowly lift your pelvis up and hold briefly before lowering slowly back down to the ground. Your upper body should remain on the floor throughout the movement. Do three sets of 15 repetitions.
Lifted-leg Push-up
If you’re feeling very strong in your upper body, or if you just feel like multi-tasking during your workout, then give this challenging exercise a whirl.
Get into push-up position but keep your feet hip-width apart. Raise one leg as high as you can and then do a regular push-up. Switch legs and repeat. This is a pretty tough one, especially if you don’t have much upper-body strength, so just do as many as you can.
For an easier variation of this exercise, try this:
Get down on all fours with your hands positioned about shoulder-width apart, elbows slightly bent. Your knees should be together and positioned underneath your hips. To make the exercise more challenging, place your knees slightly behind you. Have your toes curled on the floor. Your heels should not be touching the floor. Tighten your abs by drawing your navel in towards your spine. In a smooth, controlled motion, raise your knees off the ground. Your upper body should not move. Hold for one breath and then slowly lower down. Aim for three sets of ten.
