There are several ways to stay fit for those who do not want to pay for a gym membership. Gyms are useful, but can also be congested, and memberships can be long and costly. The worst parts about gyms are the personnel who pester you constantly and try to advertise their gym's services to you like a cars sales rep. Now you can learn some easy workout routines that you can easily do at home in the comfort of your own home! You may not get huge like the hulk, but you will get cut and toned guaranteed.
Body Weight Training
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 effective and are incorrect. Many folks 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. Some exercises to take into consideration apart from running and jumping rope are:
* Dips - You can do 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 will be working the trapezius and deltoid region. Keeping your hands together also works your chest and biceps. Other varieties are incline or decline on a step. Pushups have been used for years by athletes as a fixed part of their training regime to work the whole body.
* Pull-Ups - although you need a bar for these, they are relatively easy to find and do in any park or playground. The extra effort will be worth it with pull-ups though You can alter your grip to wider, for working your back more, to narrower for using your biceps more. Also a good workout to do with the pull up bar is leg raises which work the abdominals.
* 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 can find and attempt which create a flat stomach rapidly!
At Home Equipment
Buying your own home gym equipment to make use of 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 similar to dumbbells, but add some variety. 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 important 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. Lastly, please have fun with your workouts!
