Hard enough to do more than a couple mins if you do them slowly. You just need a bit of floor space.A good way to start is to see how many you can do in a minute. Then halve that number for each and do three repititions of each, with a 30 second interval. When you feel you are ready to go for it after some days/weeks, start doing them faster and time yourself. Try to improve your times. You will be effectively then doing HIT without equipment or the cost of a gym. An easy way to see if it is working for you is to take your pulse before and then immediately after the exercise and then take your pulse say two mins after exercise. If it is working, you should recover your normal pulse more quickly over time.Gyms used to be about body building and then body toning. They were small inexpensive places and weights were the main item of equipment. Now, they are fashionable places with lots of pieces of equipment to do things like walking or cycling. Just walk or buy a bike.</blockquote>
