You can get a good cardiovascular workout right in your own home. And you don’t need to invest in any of the fitness equipment being sold on TV by the latest exercise guru. Just pull up a chair, but don’t sit on it. Use it to maintain your balance during this workout that you can do anytime, anywhere.

Before You Get Started
Warm-up: Marching
You need: An open space
With your hands on your hips, alternate raising your knees toward your chest for about five to seven minutes. Add arm movements, pumping your arms as you march. Continue marching in place for five to seven minutes more.
