@Ryan4312 - do you have access to a gym? Stationary bike? Swimming pool? If not, I would suggest bundling up tight and powering through a jog outdoors if it isn't slick!

@thejollyro - these are typically included in home programs as it's extremely beneficial to have some basic pieces of equipment around if you are unable to join a gym. However, if you don't have these and are unable to purchase them, you can find some alternative movements within our exercise database.

Why do all the home workouts not include weight machines but think you have exercise balls and medicine balls at your house.
