What is Spanish for "I would not be able to"?

I'm trying to write, "Without these, I would not be able to workout!" and what I come up with is:

"Sin estos, no pudiera hacer ejercicios!"

Is this correct?

Good question. Why did you use the past subjunctive? You believe your statement to be true (a fact) so why not use "podría"? The conditional tense.

You may well be correct as my grammar is lousy.
