at-home workout suggestions?
so, i was planning to go to the gym today, but there is absolutely NO WAY i can. first of all, my mom had to take our car up island to visit my grandpa who just had a stroke. this would be fine because i have no problem walking there, but now my niece has to spend the night with us because her sister is in the hospital. my dad is here, but our downtown area's pretty rough and i don't really want to walk through there alone (i live downtown so there's no way around it). i'm a bit of a chicken lol. anyway, long story short, i can't get to the gym. i was planning on running, cycling and rowing today, for one hour. are there any comparable exercises i could do at home? no, i can't go out for a jog, because i need to care for my niece right now. i'll also be doing yoga and ab work today but i need this other stuff too. i was going to run up and down the stares for 20 minutes, and maybe do some workouts from magazines. any other suggestions? thanks!
