At-Home Cardio?

Anyone have recommendations for at-home cardio? I belong to a kickboxing gym and usually get my cardio there, but all of next week I'm in a training class that requires a 4-hour round-trip commute after 8 hours in class, so I'm being realtistic that the gym is not happening.

Regardless, I need to do something.

I went to put on jeans today for casual Friday...oh, it was bad. My size 8s will.not.zip.up. Last time I wore them was a few weeks ago.

Anyway, recommendations for at-home cardio would be helpful! The only workout DVDs I have are for yoga...and that's not gonna cut it!

I'd prefer not to buy a DVD since it will only be for next week :-)

Also, running outdoors is not an option. I have a very strange allergy: I'm literally allergic to the cold (cold-induced urticaria, if anyone is familiar) so I cannot run outdoors in winter.

Thanks so much!

    I know you said no DVDs, but a lot of people here swear by DVD workout programs like Jillian Michaels and P90x....a Jillian Michaels DVD is maybe $10 and you'd be able to use it sporadically whenever you want. If it's cardio you're looking to do and you don't have any home exercise equipment I don't think you're going to easily get around this solution.

    In addition to a DVD, you could work on strength training easily at home with a resistance band, you could do planks, crunches and push-ups.

    Yeah, no problem! I know a lot of people like 30 day shred, but I've heard good things about all of her workouts.

    I've never heard of Hastings but that's a terrific idea for renting DVD workouts! Thanks!

    She, I believe, adds a new video everyday. She's got a lot of HIIT workouts that require nothing but bodyweight.

    Her workouts are quick and kick butt

    My trainer had me doing 35 burpees a day for one month.... meaning you do 1000 burpees over the course of a month.!  Also, II've done bodyrock tv ...quick and effective ways to get cardio in!

    I second Jillian Michaels, but was also going to suggest YouTube. I wanted to try Bodyrock tv, but my internet connection is too bad here.

    35 burpees a day for a month? That's an amazing idea!
