#1. Make your Cardio More Spicy!
Give yourself a challenge and change the tempo of your workout. Try doing things faster, or try adding weights to your cardio, change the speed of repetitions every 5 minutes, and do it while listening to the most awesome motivating music you can think of.
#2. Take Up Weightlifting for Fun!
If you don't have weights at home just pick up random things that are heavy and lift them 20 times so you can get some repetitions going. Try different weights, different ways of lifting them, standing, sitting, laying down on your back.
#3. Clean the house while listening to LOUD music!
Really loud music gets you in the mood to move. Cleaning your house is cardio exercise and you will get a lot done in a hurry as the music will encourage you to move quickly.
#4. Clear a space just for Exercising!
If you have a cluttered home then doing step #3 first will mean you have space to exercise. Set aside that space for doing jumping jacks, yoga, jogging in place, practicing your high kicks or shadow boxing.
#5. Make a Cardio Medley!
I don't mean just music, pick 3 or 4 exercises you love doing and keep doing them one after the other for an hour 5-6 times per week. Having music to listen to will help you stay motivated.
#6. Try something New!
Be creative and look around for new things to try. If you've never done skip rope, now is your chance to try. You don't even need a "skipping rope" when any piece of rope will do.
#7. Download Exercise Videos on YouTube or FrostWire
They're free!
#8. Exercise Games
Thanks to Wii Fit and similar games now on the market there are lots of options out there to get moving if you want something fun to do.
#9. Take up a musical instrument!
Some musical instruments are also exercises because they require a lot of effort to play them. A drum set for example using a lot of upper body motion or the bagpipes uses breathing exercises and abdominal muscles.
Make a playlist and just dance in your own funky way privately. Nobody can know but you, and everyone will be wondering what your fitness secret is!
#11. Take the Stairs!
If you live in a condo or apartment building find excuses to take the stairs. Doubles as weightlifting if you're carrying packages with you.
#12. Sex!
Believe it or not this is arguably the most enjoyable exercise you can do in the winter. Sadly it will never be a sport at the Winter Olympics.
