What kinds of exercises can I do every day from home to try and lose weight?

Start with press ups. X times a day at a set time every day. Then increase it a little to whatever feels food for you. A roll mat will help and good trainers. Can you afford a cycle machine? They're also great for cardio but running is better once you can get out.
 
There's a bunch of at-home workouts you can do! Anything from lifting to cardio to HIIT to plyo to stretching. Some need equipment- true- but even without equipment there are plenty of no equipment body-weight work outs out there! Take a look at what you can find on YouTube- lot of great workouts there. Or sign up to something like Beachbody.com.

This advice is spot on. I combined a diet change with exercise. It took a while but I lost 20lbs in 6 months. It takes time but you can use Google Fit and a pair of scales to track your daily progress. A real sense of accomplishment. You can do it, Anon66.

for sure, a lifestyle change is the best bet. My plan is just to keep making more better choices for myself then negative choices.
 
I should have mentioned there are loads of free apps for your phone where they talk you through each exercise in real time.
 
Best exercise to lose weight is diet.. You lose weight and gain insane self control/willpower at that.. And you don't invest in time.
 
HIIT (high intensity interval training) has been shown to be the most effective for weight loss. definitely look into phone apps, there are tons of them with guided HIIT videos. 30 min a day of that plus a healthy diet and you should be good to go.
 
If you're still stuck at home(and i assume no access to weights), i would look up body weight exercise routines to help boost muscular hypertrophy. Your metabolism has to burn more calories to maintain muscle.
 
Go running, I know it feels like crap at first, but it is the fastest way to loose weight. I promise you it gets easier and can feel absolutely amazing. The human body is designed for manny physical actions, but when it comes to running, we are the fastest long distance land animals on the planet. I don't know what you mean by "still stuck at home" but there must be some roads or forests near by you can go running through.

If your body can take it, this is so true. If you've not run before, try this: download a running app (e.g.couch to 5k) with a built in athlete on audio who talks you through each days run, a pair of wireless headphones, an arm strap for your smartphone, and you're good to go! Remember to warm up and warm down before and after each run. I dislike phys. but stuck with it, it did make a difference and I lost weight. It also felt good to be out running instead of looking at a screen thrapping myself to death.
 
I know these are not exactly in the home, but I have a park close by with some basic stuff there like pull up bars, parallels and ab benchs. So I prefer to run there and work out than staying at home.

So, every day, I run 1.5 miles to the park
When I get there I do 3 rounds of:
  • 10 pull-ups
  • 10 dips
  • 10 push-ups
  • 20 abs
  • 20 squats
  • 10 Australian pull-ups
  • 20 Split squats
  • 10 Front dips
And then I run 1.5 miles back home.

I get these repetition numbers now, but initially, I was only doing half of it and only 2 rounds.
I'm trying to get to 4 rounds, but at the end of the 3rd round, I usually feel like throwing up. So maybe in a month.

@aleao Neat little workout, no rest days?

I try to work out at least 5 days a week, just to maintain discipline. So I usually go 2 days, rest 1, then 3 days, rest 1, or the other way around.

I'm callisthenics adept. I did callisthenics for almost 2 years. But I stopped for personal reasons. (Depression, lack of motivation, family issues etc.., because of too much fap) Now that I'm doing NoFap again. I felt that I had too much energy accumulated. So, I'm again trying to work out. Although sometimes I wish I could just sleep the whole day.
