Best exercises (besides weight lifting)?
 

So I'm not exactly satisfied with my physique and my stamina when it comes to athletics anymore. I used to play football and soccer and be able to run no sweat, but now even when I run for just a little bit at a time I am somewhat out of breath and have formed the beginnings of a beer belly...ALL OF THIS MUST STOP! So that's where you guys come in.

Without going to the gym, what are some of the better exercises and activities you guys can think of that one might be able to perform around the house?

Pushups, situps, running, swimming, basketball, and running football routes all come to my mind, but I was just wondering what you guys thought? I plan on swimming and stretching every day for a while and not eating as much (and eating healthier foods like fruits and veggies) to see if I can't shake this "gut" off before school starts.

boxing and jumping rope.

Swimming is one of the best activities.

Also if you want to play Racketball, it is fun and a pretty hard workout if you play it hard with someone else.

skip raquetball and play squash instead, its so much better.

better workout and MUCH more fun/challenging. You actually have to think and develop a strategy instead of just hitting the ball hard and low

I'll have to try it. Racketball is alittle more than that, most players hit the ball too hard, it is easier to score sometimes with a solid tempo shot rather than a hard one.

Sticking it in her pooper.

It's good to hear that you want to get in shape. Fitness is an investment you can make in yourself, and it can pay off for the rest of you life.

I have videos out which extensively put forth a plan that can transform you into a stud, like myself. Not only will I give you ideas for eating healthy, but I outline a variety of exercises that you can use to high tune your body. From light weight exercises to no-weight exercises, and from stress relieving stretches to POWER YOGA, my program has it all. You too can awesomely ripped abs like mine and super defined muscles. If you haven't looked at my pictures, I suggest you do so. I like to look at myself in the mirror for at least 30 minutes a day. I'll even post some below for your motivational needs.

Do a week of circuit training to help you get back some stamina and strength.

Also keep stretching.

Were I (for whatever reason) not inclined to use weights I would personally go with a circuit consisting of the following
All exercises should be done in a circuit 3-5 times every other day performing as many repetitions until you cannot do another one without breaking form.

Dips
Push Ups
Sit Ups (Yes-that's right situps not crunches, however )
Bicycles
Squats
Lunges

May I ask, however, why you do not want to use weights?
