Workout routines to perform Without a Health club Membership

by Robt Eckhart

If you don't have a health club membership there are still plenty of ways to stay fit. A gym can be expensive and crowded, and not to mention you usually have to sign some type of long term contracts. 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 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.

Body Weight Training

Body weight training is where you only use the weight of your body for exercises, which means no dumbbells or bars whatsoever. You might think that this will not be beneficial but you are wrong. 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. Other than running and jump rope, some activities to try are:

* Dips - performed on a chair or bench, dips are an excellent beginning exercise. They also put tension on your core and shoulders.

* Push-ups - The standard way, or position your arms differently for variety. By closing your hands together you will work a greater portion of your shoulders and upper back area. Keeping your hands together also works your chest and biceps. Close hand, incline, and decline pushups are also available to you. 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 fairly easy to find and do in any park or playground. Pull-ups will definently be worth the effort though! You can do wide hand grip which works your latissimus dorsi, and also close hand grip can be great for biceps training. The bar can also be used to exercise your abs by doing hanging leg raises.

* Core Work - perform crunches, situps and planks plus many other exercises for your 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. The variety of abdominal workouts are many.

Exercise equipment for your Home

There is a lot of home fitness equipment accessible to you at reasonable prices, and not to mention you save cash in the long term! 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!

Be aware that because you are in your own home there might be times when you are on your own and if hurt 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!
