Question
Ken
I am getting bored of my treadmill and exercise bike.
I would like to do something that is a good cardio workout that  involves my whole body.
All I can think of is jumping jacks?!
Can you suggest a workout?
I am a shift worker so any classes are out. I prefer exercising at home while watching sports on TV (not workout tapes-unless there is a good one you can suggest)
thanks!

Answer
Are you looking to purchase another piece of cardio exercise equipment?  Indoor whole body workouts are limited because of space.  You can run-in-place, dance, do calisthenics (squats, lunges, jumping jacks, etc.), or do DVD workouts, of which there are hundreds to select from that are good. To recommend one is not beneficial because I don't know anything about what you like or anything about your fitness level, experience, preferences. I'm glad you're motivated to keep on exercising though!  Keep it up.
