While this can be laughable cause I don't do it, but ever considered the YouTube videos? There's no shortage whatsoever of them, and true, they lack that human factor of spacial connection and being with people in the same space..

Ever considered an exercise with the kids? It's a family bonding, and an exercise too. Put something on and try to do whatever they're doing for 20-30 mins.. maybe I'm too optimistic..

I'm also like you, I don't like spending way too much money on exercise, so I don't have a gym membership or any of that when I have the outdoors.. I have used resistance bands, and they're very useful, portable, and don't take much space too..

Loved your impromptu dance party with the kids plan! Our 'grandkids' do love the space unintentionally left between dining rm and living room, and call it ";their dance floor" - its right in front of the stereo music supplies as well... thought no longer needed with 'Spotify" and ROKU streaming capabilities these days - and there's You Tube that can be cast for dance ideas and our Humana has a BUNCH of various aerobic classes to sign into... (not that I DO that... as I must force myself into those routines, even though somewhat privileged, its not a 'go to' choice for me - YES to outdoors whenever possible! MUSIC does MOTIVATE :)

I use the app Fit52. It costs about $50 for the whole year and it has so much variety and is fully transportable. All I need is my phone, which is where the app is, and a small space to workout. It asks what equipment I have so the exercises presented only use what I have. I use it almost every day. I can choose level, number of minutes, etc. It's very versatile.
