Hi it's not actually looking as bad as you would think :P It depends on exactly what you're looking for.

Something of a cheap way of weights etc believe it or not is to get something like baby milk powder tins and just fill them with sand or even bottles. Obviously start off with what you can manage and build up.

Just got to ask sorry is do you know any ruitines or certain movements?

For example a good one is to lay flat on your back and raise your legs up in the air and try and keep them there and then spread your legs apart and leave them there then bring them together and lower them slowly, you should feel the lower of your abdomen being excercised i know it's a pain but if you are willing to train and routine it should pay off.

Obviously sit ups are a biggy but try and vary the way you use sit ups, making sure you use your stomach muscles independantly to bring your body up, such as laying flat on your back, and only curling up a little for the upper abdomen, while pulling up to sitting position for your middle.

As for the pectoral muscles, well never forget the solar plexus on this otherwise you make life alot harder for shaping and building. Best way for this is to pull things towards you. I mean for example for any people who work in supermarkets you'll know what a cage is where it is literally a cage on wheels, with all the goods in it. And you have to ideall push them to move them but pulling them to you not only excercises your arms but your back, upper body, chest and your legs a lot.

I know it sounds daft as well but laying on your back, and just lifting the baby cans with sand up at the same time as if they were connected may help.

I know it may sound daft but it really does work, as a friend of mine used to get bullied and used to be small so just started with sand in powdered milk cans and now can't clap because he has alone 18 inch biceps :P

Walking is a good way to keep the pounds off, but usually only working if you walk slightly faster than your normal pace, just enough to be out of breath try and find if you can do it up inclines as well so as you can feel it affecting muscles such as the calf muscles.

Something i do is get wrist and ankle weights, and just wear them while you do average things like walking or house work. And you'll be amazed at how they help when you take them off and how light your limbs feel. Also something i do when stressed and need excercise is wack on varying music, and shadow box to the beating, making sure to keep a pucn to eat beat while holding about 2-4kg weight in each hand. It'll tire you out quick at first but you'll feel the muscles you want to build getting used.

Anyway i could go on forever and i'm sorry for being long winded, and i only hope i could help. If you do want more then just ask and i'll irritate you all some more lol. Sorry.
