marinemom24 answered Friday January 7 2011, 10:24 am: In my opinion, walking is probably THE best exercise you can do to get in shape. It's low cost (a good pair of walking shoes is pretty much all you need) and simple. Since you've already made the point of not being able to go outside you may want to check out Leslie Sansone's walking series on DVD. I use them and find them extremely affective. You can find them affordably on Amazon.com or if you're lucky enough to have "on demand" through your cable provider you can get her series on the fitness channel. You can add an inexpensive set of ankle weights, wrist weights or dumb bells to step it up a notch. Hope this helps! Good luck! [ marinemom24's advice column | Ask marinemom24 A Question ]

Where I used to live, it was too HOT to run outside (123+ F) so I would stay indoors and do pilates. Just purchase a yoga mat from a sports store, a pilates book or DVD (DVD helps more) and get going. It targets all parts of your body and it's a great workout. Good luck!

I can understand that a gym is too costly however, there are other solutions. The YMCA gym which has exactly what you are looking for plus swimming and other programs is actually pretty affordable and they have a program where those who cannot afford membership and can prove why can get aid to pay.
Your best bet is to find out what your town and city has for parks and recreation. Swimming passes are dirt cheap usually and they have machines and sometimes an indoor track too at community centers. You pay one low fee a month to use them and it's ridiculously cheap compared to what you have encountered.
