You can buy a step or two at most athletic stores. Put it in front of a tall mirror; put in a favorite high energy non stop music source; turn up the volume for increased intensity and have fun. You don't need a routine, just make one up as you progress. Keep looking into the mirror for form and keep your arms moving for a higher aerobic level. I know that group exercising is more fun for most people but this is a lot more convenient and certainly better than nothing.
