I'll be visiting family in India for about five weeks as of mid January. I'll be living with my relatives in their apartment, but I won't have access to a gym and they don't have any weights.

I'm planning to walk around the kitchen table for an hour or so and do some yoga on a daily basis, and use some resistance bands every few days. Does this sound like the best I could do with what I'll have access to?

I've walked around the apartment for an hour everyday last year and watched what I ate for a month, then ended up losing 10 lbs so I'm hoping for similar results this time around.

Walking around the kitchen table for an hour huh?:confused: OK, i'll bite. Why don't you walk outside?

No,

You could do some jogging on the spot. You could skip rope. You could attach some waxed paper to your feet and go "sliding" on their floors. You could toss their sofa cusions on the floor and hop from one to the other.

For resistance training, include pushups, tricep dips, butt lifts, and sissy squats. For bicep curls, deadlifts, shrugs, etc, you can use canned goods or jugs of water as weights.

Am I missing something here?

I'm just as confused as you. But I offer advice where I can.

Gotcha.:tu: I'd like to offer some advise also but i'm not sure what the deal is.:confused:

Go to the store and pickup the December issue of Mens Health.
They have an article in there on not needing weights for workouts. They also have a workout set up in that article:
Bulgarian Split Squat
Inverted Shoulder Press
Single-Leg Deadlift
T Pushups
Plank
Im going to do it myself and see what happens. Ive added pullups\chinups to it, so I think it will be pretty well rounded.
For cardio, go outside and run, walk, or even jump rope.
