There is no need for you to give up the idea to improve your level of training just yet. An alternative to exercising in the gym is exercising at home.

You should do this between 5-10 minutes, depending on how fit you are. You are going to then spread your arms out at shoulder length.

 

When your cardio and legs are done, you will then start with stretch exercises. You will start by standing with your legs open with your hands touching down on the floor for 2 minutes. Bend one of your legs and leave the other one straight. Alternate between both legs so you are stretching your leg muscles. Once you are done stretching, lie down on your back. You will need to make sure that you are bending your knees and your feet are flat on the ground. You are going to start raising your head up so that your chest is on your knees.
