Here's a few things you could try:
[list=*]
[*]Wear dark clothes when animating[/*]
[*]Animate with your camera further away from your set and crop your footage in post so it appears closer[/*]
[*]You could also distil your lighting (if you don't already) - all this means this that you place a sheet of paper (greaseproof paper if you are worried about setting fire to your house) over each of your lights so they're less harsh and therefore reflect less light[/*]
[*]Another solution is to try doing what the Builder Brothers did in this behind the scenes picture from The Squire and the Scroll:

They did this mainly to stop their reflections appearing on the King's crown although it probably helps for general reflection issues too.[/*]
[*]Finally, try playing with your lighting set up to see if you can minimise reflections or atleast have them occur in an inconspicuous area of your set[/*]
