good job!! You are doing great. Besides cardio, you might find it helpful to do resistance exercises using weights or your own body weight to strengthen your muscles. Also stretching/ yoga workouts for flexibility.

congratulations!
Weight training will build muscle, tone body and increase metabolism (burn more cals).
Like OP said use your own body weight or dumbells/hand weights to do squats, lunges, arm curls/extentions, flys, rows ect.

I agree with the previous girls...also push ups and sit ups are great!

Hot yoga is amazing for toning if you want to change things up, work your body and mind intensely, but are not a gym-type person.

Body weight excercises- you need nothing! Maybe just some music to get you going and a mat or towel.
Like a PP mentioned: situps, pushups, also try burpees, squats. In between you can do some jumping jacks too.
Even quicker- try using a tabata timer! 20 seconds of hard work then 10 second rest- 8 rounds.
