Strength Exercises without a Gym

In the last article Weight Loss I explained how important Nutrition was to losing or gaining weight. You don't need to be in a gym to do strength training muscle building exercises, this will work for anybody needing to lose or gain weight.

Exercise in the form of weight resistance training is my focus of this article today as muscle is our friend so the more we have the friendly we are.
Think about what are the largest muscles on my body as they burn the most
calories?

1-Legs

2-Abdominal muscles

3-Back

This article will focus on these muscle groups and give a couple per group you can do at home without having to go to a gym.

Remember try to work these muscle groups 3 times a week and add a cardio program of some sort into this as well.

Legs Squats will build legs muscles, all the legs muscles such as hip, butt and glutes. Begin by doing them easy as they are tough. Do them holding on a chair or wall and just dip a little try to do 10-12 this way about 3 sets just to get started. Don't go deep yet just bend the knees slightly always keeping your head up and not looking down. Rest no longer than one minute between sets.

Each person has to determine their ability but remember this the deeper you can go down the better it is for the muscle, just take it easy till you can do them without any balance issues ok.

After the squats do lunges. The link will give you an idea how to do them correctly.
Please begin slowly as these are somewhat easy but will talk to you the next
day. As in all exercises work yourself into them and as you get stronger
continue to push and advance yourself.

For a more advanced exercise try the Burpee exercise. This was one of the Marines main bodybuilding exercises. This is a wonderful cardio weight training exercise to build stamina and strength.

Abdominal muscles work together with back muscles a strong back means strong abdominal muscles, and vice versa strong abdominal muscles means a strong back. One reason why allot of people have hurting backs is they have no Abdominal muscles and to much weight pulling on the lower back.

Abs are easy to work there are allot of different ways to work them. Here is a good site to learn some really good abdominal exercises to do at home. Work your stomach muscles as you do any muscle and remember you can't burn fat in one place so doing more ab exercises won't burn stomach fat.

The back is a very important muscle group as it supports our spines and we use our back in just about every exercise we do. Good back exercises to build the back and if you suffer from back pain begin here. Please remember to start slowly but work through minor pain as the muscle you build will relieve the back from pain. After a week or so if persistent pain in the back remains you need to see what is the issue.

More advanced back workouts you can do pull-ups and push ups wide and narrow stance. This really adds muscle to the back and arms.

I will do more articles on working out without weights and provide examples to help for each muscle group. I feel this is a really good starting point for those that either can't afford to go to a gym, lack the time, or just live were there isn't one available.

Start slow get moving and enjoy the life God has so freely given all of us to enjoy and be free.
