I am vastly out of shape. Honestly I haven't attempted any exercise in years and now I'm paying for it. I don't own a home gym of any kind and frankly do not have the resources to join a gym. I do own a bike which I just took out of the basement after six years and started riding. But what I want to know is there anything that the avg. person may have around the home that I could use for lifting, other grandkids.

how about lifting your own body?

lunges, push ups, prone holds, squats etc

Bodyweight exercises are a very good option, otherwise you can get hold of some dumbbells and use those. What exactly are you goals?

Kids make great workout accessories though

try this a couple three times a week.

walk down stairs and back up no break 5 times.

rest 60 seconds
