Easy At Home Workouts Without Equipment

The good news is that to have a great workout in the comfort of your own home you do not need to spend money on fancy exercise machines or equipment.

I am a big fan of bodyweight exercises and workouts without equipment becuase they can be done at any time and almost any where with minimal space and preperastion.

On this page you will find some of the best home workouts that are simple to do but produce great results. You do not need a gym to get in shape.

The workout that you do will depend on your goals as if you are naturally skinny and want to gain muscle and weight your workout will be different from someone who is trying to shed unwanted body fat. Below are a few examples of workouts suited mainly to the goals of 1) muscle building, 2) fat burning and fitness.

Muscle Building Workout

Here is one of the best easy at home workouts for muscle building. This workout requires minimal space and can be done using a variety of rep ranges.

The Exercises

Bodyweight Squats
Standing Calf Raises
Press Ups
Chair Dips
Abdominal Crunches

If you are able to perform more then 15 reps of any of the above exercises then you can add greater resistance by performing the exercise even slower. It is suggested that the lifting part of the exercise is done over 4 seconds and the lowering over 8 seconds for the full effect.

Example 1 (Beginners)
Perform 1 set of as many reps as you can for each exercise. You should go until it is physically impossible to do anthor rep. Rest for 60seconds between each exercises.

For maximum intensity and benefit from this workout you should move immediately from one exercise to the next without taking any breaks.

Example 2
Perform 3 sets of as many reps as you can for each exercise, resting 60seconds between sets.

 

Fat Burning / Fitness Workouts

If your goal is getting fit and burning fat then there are many options you can follow for working out at home. You could go for a run, follow an exercise DVD or a bodyweight exercise circuit.

My favourite way to burn fat without leaving the house is to perform a timed bodyweight exercise circuit.

This bodyweight circuit consists of 6 exercises which are performed back to back.

• Push Ups
• Mountain Climbers
• Hip Thrusters
• High Knees
• Squats
• Jump Squats
  

The goal is to complete 3-5 sets in the following way.

15 Seconds ' ON '
15 Seconds ' OFF '

So for each bodyweight exercise you will do as many reps as you can for 15 seconds. Rest for 15 seconds then repeat for the next exercise.

To make this form of training 'work' you need to give each exercise 100% effort and work as hard as you can.

After you have completed all 6 exercises this is 1 set complete. You should rest for 60seconds and then aim to repeat this workout 2-5 times.

This workout is effective for everyone because it is based on YOUR maximum effort and will leave you feel wipped out no matter how fit you think you are.

Aim to complete 2-3 workouts per week with atleast 1 days rest between workouts for maximum benefit.

 

Whatever workout you choose to follow it is the consistancy and dedication that you put into your training and diet that will let you see results.
