Don’t you think it would be great if you could afford all that fancy [equipment that gyms have](https://allwomenstalk.com/7-items-for-your-home-gym/)? Well, it does sound nice, but it is not the only option you have available. Exercise is an important factor in our life. This is why it is important that you find exercises that are effective and will not require any equipment. I am going to help you out. In the blog below, I am going to give you the top 7 [exercises you can do](https://allwomenstalk.com/10-top-exercises-to-lose-weight/) around the house… ## 7. Walking ![Walking](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/06/top-7-exercises-you-can-do-around-the-house/walking_top-exercises-you-can-do-around-house_500x334.jpg) Photo Credit: [Tomitheos](https://www.flickr.com/photos/tomitheos/3411917556/) If the weather is nice, then it is great to go outside and enjoy the scenery while you exercise. However, if Mother Nature has something else up her trees, then you can easily exercise inside. If you have stairs, go up and down them a couple of times. This is going to help tone your legs. If you do not have stairs, then [walk around](https://allwomenstalk.com/hate-running-get-fit-with-walking-workout/) the house a couple of times. I know, I know, it’s not exciting, but hey, it gets the job done! ## 6.

They sure do bring back memories of when I was a kid. Who hasn’t done these as a child? Surprise, surprise! They are a great [cardio exercise!](https://allwomenstalk.com/10-best-cardio-exercises/) They are also great for warming up. ## 5. Pushups You can’t forget about push-ups! They are great for your chest and to [tone your arms](https://allwomenstalk.com/7-great-exercises-to-tone-your-arms/). Sure, they probably aren’t our most favorite exercise, but there are easier ways to do them. Do them on your knees, instead of keeping the legs straight. You could also stand up against a wall and do them. ## 4. Leg Lifts ![Leg Lifts](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/06/top-7-exercises-you-can-do-around-the-house/leg-lifts_top-exercises-you-can-do-around-house_500x286.jpg) Photo Credit: [KayVee.INC](https://www.flickr.com/photos/kayveeinc/3211554547/) These leg lifts are perfect for building strength and[muscles in the legs.](https://allwomenstalk.com/8-exercises-to-tone-your-legs/) Do you have a hard time doing them with your legs straight?
