"I've never been keen on gyms. I'd go so far to say I'm as likely to enter one as I am to ever go on Facebook. But with a lot of time to kill at the mo and an ever dwindling list of movies left on the hard drive that I haven't seen a dozen times I thought I may as well use this time to try and get a little healthier. I may venture into the shed and unpack the weights I bought a year or so ago. I get a fair bit of exercise walking miles with the woof daily. My right arm is doing ok due to regular spells of 'fly tennis' - electric tennis rackets being probably the best item the the land of pounds sells!! But I need inspiration for more alternative ideas. Preferably free ones that can be done at home. Any suggestions?
A"walk with your dog for two minutes then run for one minute keep repeating for 20 minutes then have at least a 20 minute cool down or work home. | |||

"The tube of you is your friend,loads of ideas for all fitness,strength levels there." This. Lots of free exercise online. | |||

"If its weight loss your afer vigorous housework burns loads of calories... apparently. Am I right ladies?? " Only if you have a regime and stick to it. I was 8 stone at my busiest housewife era. My arse never touched the sofa. And I'm 5ft 8 | |||

"The tube of you is your friend,loads of ideas for all fitness,strength levels there. This. Lots of free exercise online." I know. "Google is my friend". I really should be able to come up with stuff. Mind you - the sports science degree never really got utilised! 
The combo of dog walking and anything extra would be tricky - we use the beach and she's a hyperactive social butterfly and quite big so whilst running is perfectly possible carrying anything extra equipment wise would be very tricky.
I'll do some online research when I get a break from my busy schedule!

"I don't condone piracy, but you can just download Insanity, T25 and other such programs and do those at home. Short of that, running and/or interval training at the local park" I don't condone stealing either Nor do I advise you undertake the insanity program Yoga would be my advice along with your walking a perfect free combination xx | |||

"oops sorry, I tend to add a thought to an end of a sentence instead of in the middle, where it's supposed to go. | |||

"30 day shred is surprisingly hard. You can watch them on you tube x I think you are meant to do it too, not just watch it "Bugger. I was hoping for a quick fix 'watch this and the weight will drop off' routine. 
Back to the drawing board.

A"hahaha seriously though, only 20 minutes each. Interval training and you only need a set of hand weights.

"What about taking advantage of all those walks on the beach and going swimming with the woofer? Sea swimming is great exercise and the salt water is good for your circulation and skin. Just.don't be a wuss - real swimmers don't wear wetsuits! "The woof is scared of water since she fell in a deep puddle on the beach as a pup. She's a total girls blouse. Won't even walk through puddles when it's raining. Plus of course - swimming in the sea by us would be more like going for a mud bath. And in a year or two it'll be quite likely that anyone swimming too often will come out looking like the multi-eyed fish in the Simpsons!

seriously though if you have dogs it's something you have to do anyway so may as well jog instead of walk and kill two birds with one stop, unless you have a small or old dog that couldn't run with you of course | |||

"All I'm hearing is excuses. ... "My word - you look like you've conquered your weight problem - you look great - well done! | |||
