A few years ago, I set my basement up as my workout zone. I have free weights, two weight benches, various bars and things for my husband, a punching bag(great stress reliever), a Maxi Climber(going to my sister), and a Total Gym. I freakin love the Total Gym! There are so many workouts you can do on it. I feel so much stronger after I lift weights. And as someone said before, you do have to eat more if you lift weights. I don't mean eat chips and junk food. You need protein. And depending on how serious you lift, supplements would be good too. Again, that depends on the person and their intensity
 
No-weight squats & lunges, tin can arm curls, & running/jogging in place are a great 4 to start with! College athlete here who used to work in a gym, would love to help! It is so awesome to see this community coming together to motivate each other to stay healthy! My family makes time for weekly (3-4 times minimum) exercise, & try to eat as “clean” as possible (limited processed food & cut fast food completely!) I sleep better & mentally feel a change along with the physical benefits! It can be hard to get started but so worth it! ❤️
 
It is very hard to find time and energy to grid a workout regularly. I do better now days doing one body part a day. So, like today I will do shoulders, tomorrow biceps, then chest, then back, legs etc..

It only takes about 20 minutes a day to get in about 10 sets for 1 body part. You do not really have to take a day off to recover like you do when you grid a 2-3 hour workout, because you are basically working out 1 body part and it has time to rest and recover until you are back to that part in the rotation. Plus, you can still take a day off completely every now and then with no great loss.

The biggest challenge to maintaining a workout is burnout and just plain ole dread. So, by hitting just the 1 part for 20 minutes a day you do not get burnout and not much to dread because it will be over with in 20 minutes.

You of course cannot do this if you are wanting some serious muscle growth. They will grow and tone but you will reach the peak that you can get from these short workouts much sooner and then it is more of just maintain.

Throw some cardio in there and all the much better.
