Yeah, I've been trying to do that lately - if only because my legs keep 
going numb.

I'm not overly keen on spending lots of money unless I really have no 
choice.

What I did do last night was to put some music on and dance on the spot 
while I was waiting for the stuff in the oven to finish cooking. I think 
I'd probably need to sort out a CD containing only music of a suitable 
tempo though, if I'm going for a long continuous workout rather than a 
brief frenzy followed by exhaustion.

I can't swim.

Or rather, I can't swim more than about 6 feet or so without stopping 
due to exhaustion.
