Exercise At Home Without Weights
Posted by Wilson | Posted in home gym fitness equipment | Posted on 26-10-2009
Home exercise is the new phenomenon in fitness, and the explosive growth of home exercise equipment is ample proof. It’s easy to see why many individuals would be interested in home exercise routines. You can get great results exercising at home, as long as you know what you are doing.
All it takes to get results at home is an exercise mat, some free weights (dumbbells) and exercise tubings. Even if you don’t have all these tools, there are several exercises you can do around the house. You can always try exercises that use your own body weight. The secret to success is to exercise the right way without hurting yourself.
At home, you can train at your own time. You are unaffected by the timings of your gym or your trainer. This is an excellent solution for stay-at-home moms, individuals who work from home, and individuals with an erratic work schedule. It’s nice not to have to pay for a gym membership. I love exercising at home, because that’s how I started. It’s fun and I enjoy it even today. I have a treadmill that faces a large TV, some dumbbells and a never-say-die attitude. That’s all it takes. With the number of tools available today, it is simple to set up a gym atmosphere in the comforts of your own home. I train most of my clients in their own home.
To get results at home, you need self-motivation and discipline, since you are going to be on your own. It’s not as hard as you think and can be enjoyable and beneficial. When you are committed mentally to pursue a leaner, energized and dynamic fitness level, changes happen much faster.

There are some things that can derail home exercise.
It’s likely your hectic schedule or a long commute discourages you from exercise. Sometimes, an individual can get intimidated by the social atmosphere of a health club. After all, if a club is a place where people flirt more and exercise less, you might find yourself less inclined to go! It could also be crowded, and many people do not like waiting in line for the equipment. With home exercise, there is not waiting period. Despite the popularity of health clubs, many individuals are now exercising at home. In fact, the Journal of the American Medical Association reported a study conducted by Stanford University. The study said exercising at home is just as beneficial as working out at a health club. Interestingly, the study also found people who trained at home were more likely to stick with their program than those who exercised at a club.
Strength Training Exercises At Home For The Upper Body and Abdominals.
For best results, warm up for 10-15 minutes with light aerobic exercise (walking, cycling, jogging). Deep breathing and stretching for 3-5 minutes before you begin strength training helps the muscles relax and rejuvenate.
The following exercises do not require any equipment, other than a pair of dumbbells.
This is a unique method that I have developed on my own, and it has helped thousands of clients get results. You can view my clients in action with videos of home exercises and download full color exercise routines by registering on my websites mentioned at the end of this article.

What are some ways I can exercise at home without weights?
I live in NYC so I do a lot of walking…I know it’s not cardio but it does keep me active.
I’m 16 and I don’t have a place in my room to store weights -it’s tiny and I share it- so I’d like to know an actual routine I can do at home to tone up my muscles.
When school starts again I’m going to have to go to karate classes three times a week, and I’d like to be a little less physically pathetic than I am now.
I know I can do stuff like crunches and sit-ups, but how many and for how long?
I’m a 110 lb computer nerd so I don’t have much meat on my bones, and none of it is useful muscle.
pushups

Push ups you can do this differently each time too. Try with your hands even with your shoulders and work the hands down with each new set you do.

i do as many push ups as i can the i do crunches for 2 minutes it keeps my stomach very toned

well situps and crunches you can do everyday…start out with 55 in 2 mins and work up from there (that is the army standard for an 18yr old male)…then alternate cardio days with muscle training days….on cardio days run (make sure you stretch first) you should be able to run 2miles in around 13mins at your age…then on muscle training days do push-ups (wide arm, standard, and diamond) you should be able to do 40 to 50 in 2mins…you can do squats, you can get a medicine ball or just two barbells and do an arm workout….there are many sites that offer excerise tips or routines…also Men’s Health magazine always has several pages of work out excersises to try….good luck and remember dont push yourself…but a good rule of thumb is when you start to feel the burn, do ten more and then stop…those ten are the one’s that count!!

First off — I would go out to your library and rent a few videos and see what you like to do — yoga or kickboxing or something fun. A REALLY good website to give you good workouts is sparkpeople.com where they also have demos of how to do the exercises.
My personal reccomendations: 2 sets of 15 for lunges, sit ups, push ups, and squats. Go to Target or something similar and get one of those work out at home kits with a video and do that. Push yourself till it kind of hurts but not too much where you think you will die.
You could also run too…pretty cheap.
Work out at least 45 min – 1 hour and fifteen minutes per work out if you can at least 3 times a week and you’ll be great.

it’s good that you walk a lot. you can add strap-weights on your ankle for a better workout.
if you do crunches and sit-ups, dont over do it..just frequent.
stretch more at home!
