lolwut? I already said I can do anything at home, I just have no equipment, and can't go outside.

What more do you need to know?

[rutzilla]

metabolic training, will get the heart rate up, actually as I'm writing this the misses is doing jump rope 2min, 10 burpees, 20 mountain climbers, 4x over. should take her about 16minutes, she will burn more calories than steady state cardio for 25min, and burn more after she finishes.

you said you cant go outside. idk if you have an injury or what.

do you even go to the gym(not trying to be an ass)

you can do crunches to max, then pushups to max, jumping jacks max, up downs til max.

pretty much the p90x?

just incorporating movement to keep your heart rate elevated

Jumping rope and jump-squats are both good options. I use them both regularly.

I just did a search to find out what a "burpee" is. I was pleasantly surprised. Hahaha, I'd never heard it called that.

Burpees are giant killers

no rest? all 3 exercises x 4 in a row?

[sonti]

I have this problem too sometimes (I have a young baby)

Burpees, mountain climbers, jump rope, insanity cardio DVDs. Insanity ones work well although higher impact. I use a gymboss timer to do intervals. I also have a treadmill, rower, and bicycle plus a full gym but when I need to change things up I do bodyweight stuff.

walk up and down the stairs (if you have one at your home)

rofl i keep forgetting about jump roping

[Tyciol]

I find if you do squats (even bodyweight, or a light counterweight to go keep balance going deeply) the heart rate tends to heighten after a while.

Working a series of compound movements one after another (or in a complex) also seems to do it... what's that called again, circuit training?

[rutzilla]

Yep no rest, lungs feel like they are on fire after, you could start with x3 to start,

Tyriol---tabata squats are evn better, do with a small swissball under you, 40seconds squats as fast as you can, rest 20, repeatx4. Thats tabata, super good at bringing metabolism up.

The metabolic training sounds fun (also just looked up what burpees are lol). I'll give it a try tomorrow, although I'm not sure about wanting my lungs flaring up that quickly...

[first blood]

Jump rope

[814Saint]

[LulzYeah]

Jump-rope hands down.

I knew that I wasn't the only person who'd never heard them called "burpees."

[Ikmal91]

Do the 300 workout. Freaking intense.

25 Push Ups
25 Mountain Climbers
25 Squats
25 Lunges
50 Bicycles
50 Jumping Jacks
25 Lunges
25 Squats
25 Mountain Climbers
25 Push Ups

This usually gets me burning like crazy. If you want, go for 5 sets of them. Oh, no rests in between or try to reduce the rest.
