Workouts: no gym required exercises

There are plenty of reasons for not working out, two of the most common excuses being that either gym memberships are too expensive or getting over to the gym before or after school/work takes too much time. What many don't realize though is that you don't need a gym to get in shape! These days, at-home workouts are easily accessible through fitness websites, youtube, and of course there are all of those fitness DVDs out there. What's even greater is that many of these workouts require little or no equipment and can be done at any time of the day. Below are some links to some at-home workouts from around the web:
