Building Muscle Without Weights

    1. Use Body Weight Exercises to Build Muscle. Body weight exercises are number 1 in your weights-free muscle building arsenal. Why? No other exercise regimen is more portable, or more challenging.

    For proof, walk into your local gymnasium and see how many members have the muscular coordination to perform a one-legged squat, or the brute power to perform a handstand press-up, or the functional strength to perform one-arm pushups. And just how many of those same gym members can dip full body weight with perfect form for 12 or more repetitions, or can perform full body weight chin-ups for the same number? Not many is your answer.

    So are you searching for a CHALLENGE while you build muscle? This regimen is difficult to beat.


    Still think you can't build muscle using body weight exercises?

    For further proof and a body weight workout you can take on the road, go to: FIT BUSINESS TRIP - a 10-minute, time-crunched program specifically designed for the busy professional! Discover the SECRET methods busy Execs are using to BURN FAT, stay trim and SURVIVE business travel, with FAST, EFFECTIVE workouts in their HOTEL ROOMS!


    2. Select Resistance Bands to Build Muscle. Resistance band training provides a unique way of exercising which, like body weight exercises, is portable. Indeed, an entire gymnasium can travel with you in your sports bag!

    But isn't resistance bands training for old folks?

    This is a common misconception and an unjust one. For example: consider the strength required to perform a handful of press-ups with an ADDITIONAL 50-80 pounds resistance fastened to your middle, or the leg-power required to perform lunges with 100 or more pounds resistance gripped tightly in your fingers. THIS kind of strength requires MUSCLE whether you're young, old, or somewhere in-between! Moreover, resistance band training can build muscles SAFELY making them an EXCELLENT muscle building option.

    3. Choose Sandbag Training to Build Muscle. Unlike options 1 and 2, this third option is NOT portable. However, this regimen's lack of portability is EASILY countered by the unique challenges presented to the typical trainee.

    Indeed, for a lung-busting, heart-thumping, muscle-bulging workout - sandbag training goes to the top of the list!

    So how does sandbag training achieve this muscle building miracle?

    A productive sandbag routine provides a total body workout by utilizing the whole body when exercising. For example: consider the endurance and strength required to clean and press and carry a 50-80 pounds sandbag! This kind of routine builds serious muscles in addition to aerobics endurance!


    Important: Building muscle requires a routine that focusses on the largest muscle groups, i.e. the legs, hips, butt and back... And what is the best way to target these muscle groups? Make compound exercises the cornerstone of your muscle building routine, paying SPECIAL attention to the squat exercise and the deadlift

    Ignore these two important exercises and all your hard work in/or out of the gym will count for nothing.


In Summary

So do you STILL think you can't build muscles without lifting iron?

Building muscle without weights is EASY, providing you with fresh challenges, fun routines, and the opportunity to get fit while you grow!
