I'd really like to start working out and getting stronger. A good way to do that, of course, would be to go to the gym, but I'm not in a position to pay for a membership myself, and for some reason, my parents are happy to pay for a membership for my dad to use maybe a few weeks a year, but not to pay to add me onto the membership, even though I'd use it regularly :roll: I also am not in a position to be buying equipment for home use. Does anyone have suggestions for ways to work out and improve my strength without using any sort of equipment? I tried jogging, but my lungs really can't handle it.

Push-ups! They are about the best exercise you can do if you don't want equipment

Oh, duh, I should have thought to check Youtube, there are probably a bunch of helpful videos there. Sometimes I really need to be smacked in the face with a sign that says "JFGI" (just (explitive) Google it) :lol:

I already do a fair bit of walking. I'm a janitor at a retail store, and much of my work involves moving around the store as I clean. I also have a dog who gets at least one 45-minute walk a day.

You can buy some dumbbells. You can also do lunges and leg ups and sprints. You can also buy some work out videos. If you have a Wii or a WiiU, you can buy some Wii Fit games and games that are compatible with the Wii balance board at Game stop or online for cheap.
