Oh it's been so cold here lately too! It's been in the 20's and 30's where I'm at. This is the time of year that I start bringing out more of my workout videos. I'm not sure if you have any, but you can probably find some at your local library. Or see if you can ask your parents for one or maybe even for christmas.
Here are some other ideas: # (FREE!) Even though you might feel corny by yourself, you can "design" your own workout for your small place. Try a combination of any of the following low-impact moves, always trying to get both your arms and legs involved:
* Marching in place * Stepping up and down the stairs or running the stairs in your building * Side steps (step touch) * Jogging in place or high knee running in place * Grapevines sideways, forward and back * Jumping jacks * Kickboxing moves (front kicks, squats, side kicks, punches) * Turn on your favorite music and just dance!
# ($) If space and ceilings allow, jumping rope ($6) can torch big calories. If you don't have room for a rope, mimic it with your hands and wrists. Jump in place, skip, hop on one foot, etc. to get your heart pumping. # ($$) Workout videos or DVDs ($10+)(or check out your local library) offer a lot of variety for a very low investment. Some workouts can be done in a small space, such as low impact aerobics, kickboxing, cardio Pilates, belly dancing, and more.
You may also want to check out the fitness section of the Resource Center for some more ideas.
Hope this helps!
