Think you need a room full of fancy equipment to help you get stronger? Think again. You can sculpt your muscles using little more than a couple of pillows, some soup cans and your own body weight. Here's how:

Twice a week, do one set of 8-15 reps of each of these no-frills exercises. Once you can breeze the routine without breaking a sweat or feeling achy for a day or two afterwards, increase to two sets per exercise, three times a week. You should see a difference in the form of firmer, tighter muscles within six to eight weeks.

Squat (Legs)

1. Stand with your feet as wide as your hips, your weight slightly back on your heels, and place your hands on your hips. Pull your abdominals in and stand up tall with square shoulders and a lifted chest.

2. Sit back and down, as if you're sitting into a chair directly behind you. Lower as far as you can without leaning your upper body more than a few inches forward (this depends on your flexibility and your build.) If you can bend your knees far enough so that your thighs are parallel to the floor, don't go any farther than that, and don't allow your knees to travel out in front of your toes. Once you feel your upper body fold forward over your thighs, straighten your legs and stand back up. Take care not to lock your knees at the top of the movement.

Pull-overs (Upper Back)

1. Place two or three large pillows on the floor. Lie down on the pillows so that your entire head, back and shoulders are resting on them. Pull your abs in gently so your lower back doesn't arch up. Grasp a soup can in both hands and straighten your arms upward so that the can is suspended directly over your upper chest.
