If you don't have a health club membership there are still plenty of ways to stay fit. The gym can be costly and crowded, and not to mention you usually have to sign some type of agreements. The worst parts about gyms are the employees who annoy you constantly and try to advertise their gym's services to you like a cars salesman. The good news is that I will show you a number of workout routines that can be performed at home. You may not get huge like the hulk, but you will get cut and toned guaranteed.
Bodyweight Exercises
Bodyweight exercises do not use equipment such as bars or dumbbells, only your own body for resistance. You could think that this will not be beneficial and are incorrect. Many people only use bodyweight exercises and get the results they are aiming for. The reason is because without weights you need to do lots of repetitions, and repetitions at that rate are a great cardio workout that burns calories quickly. Besides running and jump rope, some activities to try are:
* Dips - You can perform dips simply with just a sturdy chair, stair step, or basically any area that allows you to dip you body down far enough. They also put tension on your core and shoulders.
* Pushups - Pushups can be performed in different ways to target specific areas. If you do diamond pushups you are working the trapezius and deltoid region. Keeping your hands together also works your chest and biceps. Close hand, incline, and decline pushups are also available to you. Back in the day when football just started weight training was still not popular, and that meant many athletes only chose to do hundreds of pushups split into numerous sets!
* Pull-Ups - although you require a bar for these, they are fairly easy to find and do in any park or playground. Pull-ups will definently be worth the effort though! You can alter your grip to wider, for working your back more, to narrower for using your biceps more. The bar may also be used to work your abs by doing hanging leg raises.
* Core Work - perform crunches, situps and planks plus many other exercises for your abdominals. The difference is that with crunches you only lift your shoulders off the ground, and with sit ups you lift your whole upper body, whilst keeping your feet fixed. There are many exercises you will discover and try which create flat abs quickly!
Equipment for your House
Investing in your own exercise equipment to use at home can be expensive at first, but in the longer term may be worth the investment. Dumbbells can be bought cheap because you only really need about 3-5 different weight sizes to get the workouts in you need. Kettlebells are also perfect for at home weight training. There are numerous interchangeable benches that can be purchased and take up little room. They can be changed from flat, incline, and decline giving you all the benefits in one machine!
Safety needs to be a priority if using weights at your house, and nobody is about. Only exercise with weights that you are able to lift, and place the right amount of cardio stress that you know your body can handle. Drink plenty of water and have fun!
