It’s still ice cold outside, and I don’t belong to a gym- What is a good exercise routine i can do at home? I have 2 forty pound dumbbell weights….I need to lose weight- shoudl I do jumping jacks? Running in place?

Just pick up some 3-10 pound dumbbells at Target or Walmart – they’re fairly inexpensive. Use those for toning your upper body. For your lower body you don’t really need any equipment, you can do lunges and squats for your legs and buttocks, and do crunches for your abdomen. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I1G…

Here’s a set of dumbbells that go from 2.5 pounds to 12.5 pounds:

You will also need to add some cardio exercises. There are a lot of exercise shows on TV, or you can buy DVDs, or just go for a walk. A fun way to do cardio is by getting one of those mini trampolines and running on it while watching TV. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Q6J…
