Well, you could get yourself some adjustable free weights. Do some curls while watching the evening news, squat presses, and that sort of thing. You can commute to and from school, or work by bicycle. OR get yourself a cheap exercise mat and do yourself some aerobics for a few minutes each day.

I think the best way to exercise without a gym is hiking. Finding trails is fun and the uphill walking is good for the booty. =D

Swamp Sparrow Has anybody here ever seen Ruthless People? The woman gets in shape using paint cans and things people store in the basement.... I should watch that movie again. It's a good movie. There's this guy who used to be in the WWE who they showed jogging around some road on a mountain and he's be jogging while carrying a giant log in his hands. eek

You might also try investing in uh...I forget the name...they're like stretchy things you put your feet on to hold in place and then do stuff like bicep curls with them. They're only like $10-$20.

*Instead of a treadmill use the road or sidewalk for your run. Challenge yourself each week by using different terrain. A flat surface paved-road one week to an uphill dirt trail the next.
*For weights there are many things you can substitute in for. Cans for small weights, as previously mentioned books in a bag and water jugs are good for heavy weights. BE CAREFUL THOUGH!
*For bar exercises use tree limbs or door overhangs. The trees are much better as the door frame is hard to grip.
*And for floor exercise it is pretty easy to figure out! Though you miight try taking it outside.

I would recommend muscle confusion. Try workouts on an incline. umm if your ever helping with groceries grab the gallon of milk and try lifting those on the way to the door. -muscle confusion is introducing your body to very different workouts that your body is well confused about. Muscle confusion prevents the plateu effect in which your muscles are so used to the workout they dont increase anymore.

The marine core daily 16 is available onlie if you're interested. It's simple,high intensity-depending on how much you're willing to put into it- and amazing for dynamic core and upper body strength.

Save up $40 and invest in a adjustable dumbbell weight set from Walmart or Target.

It's really not that hard to work out without weights at all. Sure, if you're going for muscle gain it's one of the better ways, but strength gain can be fine without it. If you have a dog, but bigger bags of dog food and haul them around the supermarket. Do the same with gallons of milk, or cans of food can be used as dumb bells. Jumping jacks, push ups, sit ups, mountain climbers, there are dozens of calisthenic exercises that can be done, and a normal run can become complicated by incorporating line drills with butt kickers, high knees, skips, bounds, and lateral movement. If you do football and basketball, take up some other sports, and go hiking or walking (which offers a great low impact workout). There really is a ton of stuff you can do with no investment at all.

I've got a real thing for bodyweight exercises. Push ups are an underrated exercise if you do them right, you can vary them so much too, putting your hands closer in will focus more on the triceps, while taking your hands wider will hit the chest a bit more. You can also vary the angle to hit different areas of the chest, for example putting your feet on a raised surface and doing some slow push-ups, is a great way to develop the often neglected upper chest. Variation like this will also help to prevent plateus, but it's worth sticking with an exercise for 6-8 weeks to allow your body time to adapt (ie, get stronger, bigger etc...)
Chin-ups/pull-ups, are probably my favourite exercise, again you can vary these alot, there's wide and close grip overhand chins, underhand chins, and a ton of others that are a bit harder to explain without a demonstration or picture. They work the back and biceps a treat, and generally you'll see results pretty quickly from them.
Crunches are pretty much a given in a workout, but you should always balance your workout, for example, if you work your biceps, work your triceps too. Muscular imbalance is a common cause of injury. So get some back extensions in there too. It's pretty much just a crunch in reverse, but only come about 6inches off the floor, you don't want to hyperextend your spine too much, that's a big no-no.
For legs, squats, or cycling, or both razz try holding on to something heavy when you do squats too, because squatting your bodyweight isn't really much of a challenge to the muscle, and without challenging the muscle you won't force it to adapt. Again, you can vary squats in alot of ways, but normal and pliƩt squats have never failed me yet biggrin
I'll totally go with what a few other have mentioned, getting some freeweights will allow you to do varied and effective workouts.
A few key things to remember though: Progression, in order to grow stronger/bigger/faster, you have to force your body to adapt, it's important to continually progress your workout by increasing the reps or weight, to provide more challenge each time, if you keep doing the same thing, your body will have no reason to adapt. And also, without the boundaries of safety, it's important to challenge your muscles, if you just stop when it gets hard, your body won't have a reason to adapt, if you make it work, it will want to adapt so that next time you do the same thing, it's more capable of doing it.
Hope that helps smile
