    For my sister thats trying to lose weight, i've done some footwork routines with her, and some timed arm presses (idk how to esplain it) but i need more, and keep in mind that we live in a two-bedroom apartment, so no running or jump roping

    Thanks in advance :good

    Jump rope
    Squats
    Lunges
    Up-Downs (burpees)
    Pushups
    Crunches
    Work up to L-sits (all you need is 2 chairs)
    Dips (again, only need a chair)
    Also, it's easy to make light DBs with home supplies

    Lots of things, too many to list.



    EDIT: Didn't see no jump rope...but she could always do it outside. And does she have the money for a gym?

    Why does living in an apartment stop her from running?

    What floor do you live on? Make her take the stairs.

    Hi Johnny,
    Some tips for your sister to lose weight.
    Break meals in 5/6 small meals including snacks and prefer raw food over processed food. Increase water intake, drink green tea and avoid beverages and diet soda. Tell her to use stairs instead of lift or elevators and jogging in place to burn fat and boost metabolism. Dancing, yoga, light weight lifting and stretching are also helpful exercises for her.

    Unless it's for warm-up or active recovery light weight lifting is useless.
