Bodyweight Exercises to Do at Home
Workout Routines Without Weights
Share Article |

Going to a gym isn't always feasible. Find out how to build muscle with these functional workout ideas.

Not having access to a gym is a poor excuse for delaying your fitness pursuits. Large muscle exercises mingled with a little ingenuity can produce excellent gains. A back to basics approach is often underrated. Squats and pushups have been around since the dawn of time for one good reason: they work! No equipment is needed to build the body of your dreams.

There are many benefits to working out using bodyweight in addition to lifting weights. They harness functional strength, which a personal can actually use in day to day life. Tamir Katz of TBK Fitness has this to say about when to use a bodyweight routine: “Use a predominantly bodyweight exercise regimen when training for such activities as wrestling and combat sports in general, gymnastics, diving, acrobatics, and the military, where you have to use muscles again and again and need highly developed body awareness, or simply if you're always on the road or have very little time.”

The following workouts are deceptively simple. They are simple, but very difficult. Descriptions of all exercises can be found at any exercise database, like Bodybuilding.com. Give them a try to rev up your routine.
