Hi Dulguun,
You can use what we can "Shadow play". You do the action of the stroke without the ball. Stand in front of a mirror if you can and watch what your stroke looks like as well.
Then you can also use any table, it doesn't have to be a proper Table Tennis table to hit on if you have a partner or if you put it up against a wall you can hit it on there as well.
Take a look at our lesson on Practicing Alone for some more tips.

You can do what I call a shadow multiball (it's less ridiculous than singing in the shower). That way you have to move around a lot in order to exercise your legs.
