Workouts to perform Without having a Health club Membership
by Robt Eckhart
There are lots of ways to stay fit for those who do not want to pay for a gym membership. The gym can be expensive and busy, and not to mention you usually have to sign some type of long term contracts. The worst parts about gyms are the staff who pester you constantly and try to advertise their gym's services to you like a cars salesman. Now you can learn some easy workout routines that you can easily do at home in the comfort of your own home! You may be limited in the muscle building department, but you can easily lose fat and tone up.
Bodyweight Exercises
Bodyweight exercises do not use equipment such as bars or dumbbells, only your own body for resistance. They are more effective then you may first consider. 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. Some exercises to take into consideration apart from running and jumping rope are:
* Dips - You can do dips simply with just a solid chair, stair step, or basically any area that allows you to dip you body down far enough. These are great for working out your shoulders, triceps, and abdominals.
* Push-ups - The standard way, or position your arms differently for variety. By closing your hands together you will use more of your shoulders and upper back region. Close hand pushups are great not only for your pectorals, but your biceps as well. Other varieties are incline or decline on a step. 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 need a bar for these, they are reasonably 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. Also a good training to do on a pull up bar is leg raises which work the abdominals.
* Crunches/Sit Ups - Crunches and sit ups are different type of exercises, but work the same muscle group which is the abdominals. Crunches are where you lift only your shoulders off the ground, and sit ups are where you raise your full body off while keeping your butt and feet planted. There are numerous exercises you can find and try which create flat abs rapidly!
At Home Exercise equipment
Investing in your own exercise equipment to make use of at home can be costly at first, but in the long run may be worth the investment. Dumbbells are great as you can do many different types of exercise and you only need a few different sizes. Kettlebells are similar to dumbbells, but add some variety. Multi-purpose benches are also useful and are not too expensive these days. They can be changed from flat, incline, and decline giving you all the benefits in one machine!
Always remember that as you are at home there may be times when you are by yourself and if injured no-one is around to know. Ensure you only use weights you can lift, and exercise at an intensity your body can handle. Lastly, please have fun with your workouts!
You'll have tonnes of fun by using jumping stilts. The best way to workout while having a good time. See some more information <a href="http://extremejumpingstilts.wordpress.com">here</a>.
