Workout sessions to do Without having a Health club Membership

By Robt Eckhart


If you don't have a gym membership there are still plenty of ways to stay fit. A gym can be costly and crowded, and not to mention you usually have to sign some type of long term contracts. And also, the selling strategies used by staff to get you to purchase other services such as classes or personal training are fairly annoying. 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

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 are incorrect. Many people solely workout this way and get ripped and toned fast. 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. Apart from running and jump rope, some exercises to try are:

  • Dips - You can perform 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 work 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 require 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 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 work 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 core workouts are many.


At Home Exercise equipment

Buying your own fitness equipment to use at home can be costly at first, but in the longer term 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 also perfect for at home weight training. 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!

Safety needs to be a priority if using weights at home, and no-one 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. Drink plenty of water and have fun!
