hey just wandering what you do at home for exercise
i dont have any gym equiptment and no money to go to the gym so what can i do at home to stay in shape?
thanks
Press ups, sit ups, leg raises, burpees, squat jumps, sprints/jogging, tuck jumps etc, do exercises like that for 30 mins, 50secs doing the exercise, 10 sec rest, then start the next exercise.
And also sort out you diet, depending on what it's currently like.

Lovely idea but your routine/programme completely ignores the posterior chain (ie; it lacks pulling movements like chinups, pullups, bodyweight deadlifts, etc) and it will lead to muscle imbalances, posture problems/irregularities and an increased susceptibility of injury. Moral of the story? Do a pulling movement for every pushing movement. So for pressups, you'd pair pullups/chinups/body horizontal row, situps/leg raises = back extensions/cobras, squat/tuck jumps = single leg bodyweight deadlift/lunges(i know not completely pulling but they do recruit the hamstrings and glutes to a large degree)/high step-ups(ditto), etc.

Swimming? Cycling? Skipping? Stair running? Walking? Burpees (google is your friend)? There are plenty of alternatives, it is completely up to what you want to do/enjoy and what you have available.
Toning? Isn't a real term, it's a mixture of burning fat while preserving/gaining muscle. Interval training is a good start:
It will improve your strength, endurance, fitness, etc, while preserving muscle and burning fat. You will get far much more work done and burn far more calories than a similar period on the dreadmill. It's only 15mins 3 times a week, it can be done by anyone, anywhere with little or no equipment. If an exercise is too hard, substitute it for something easier (ie; exchange chinups for bodyweight rows) or harder (ie; pullups, weighted chinups, one armed pullups, etc). Plus rotate exercises to ensure you get an all round workout. While on monday you might include pushups, on wednesday substitute them for pike presses, or squats for lunges or single leg bodyweight deadlifts, you get the picture.

Re: home exercises
Being a girl makes little or no difference to how you can and should work out. You may like dance mats, but if you want some decent results you're going to have to put some real effort in and not write it off because the routine is off a site which offers advice mainly to men. It's up to you.

True, didn't think of that.
OP are you able to get any reasonably light weights?

im not writing it off i was just comenting on those exercises directed towards a male audience
Tao Bo video for like £5 and it is soooo good.
One of the excercises is only 30 minutes long so its not overly time consuming and you really feel it working.
There is a variety on there as well, so I would suggest something like that. I did it every day for 2 weeks and really notived a difference!
