Exercising... when you really have no room to.
My house is filled with clutter (hey, I bet part of exercising could be cleaning it!) but even without the clutter it's small.
I don't live in the best area, either, so going for runs, though I love running, wouldn't be the safest bet.
I have no room for a workout machine, or to do exercise videos, barely even to dance to music. Going to a gym where other people can see me seems awkward (I have issues with being stared at, kinda a shybird here.)
BUT, even with all that, I'd really like to get some cardio into my routine. How can I do that with these conditions?
All answers appreciated. :)

Losing weight and getting fit is not just based solely around activity level. It comes from a complete lifestyle change. My first suggestion to you would be do de-clutter your home. Let go of anything that you haven't used with in the last month or so and you will begin to feel a weight lifted off of you immediately. As far as equipment goes; exercise bands are a great option for muscle toning. I personally use the bar in my closet to hang my bands on. There are many other options as far as bands go including door attachments. In regards to the cardio.... If you have even 2 steps located within or around your house, you should consider utilizing them for a stair stepper type routine. In addition, your basic kitchen chair can be used for abdominal exercises, tricep presses etc. I have personally lost 110 pounds using these and some other home based routines in conjunction with a healthy diet. I hope this information is helpful for you... Best wishes.

Have you tried Wii-Fit? It actually will help you. It has aerobics, cardio, balance, running and other exercises you do in front of any TV. Do that for 90 minutes and then add long walks or jogging and you'll lose pounds and be fit in the end.
I also recommend if you have the cash to join a self-defense center preferably kick-boxing where you do a ton of kicking and punching drills, sparring etc. and do 3 classes a week of 90 mins.
That will get the pounds off you faster than anything I know and help with cardio and other fitness aspects.

I'm with you 100% when you said "Going to a gym where other people can see me seems awkward". However you have to realize this is your life and what people say or think of you shouldn't matter. You do what you want to do and stop worrying about people looking at you. If you truly want to exercise you will do it for yourself and get over the fact that people may be watching you (which they wont be, because everyone is concentrating on what there doing and there body)
Hope i helped:) any question let me know:)
