What's more convenient, private or difficult to avoid than your own living room? Pop in an exercise video, check your cable for free workouts on demand or download a routine from a fitness website, and you're ready to get started without leaving your house.

Find an old jump rope for some basic—but surprisingly challenging—cardio, and you can avoid the gym entirely.
