More and more people are finding new ways to get fit and drop body weight. Whatever your goals are the benefits of body weight training can really do wonders for you. If you just have a little extra belly fat the correct amount and type of body weight exercises will help you get lean to really show muscle definition. On the other hand, if your situation is different and you have a lot of pounds to lose body weight workouts is still a good choice.
One of the major benefits of these types of workouts is that they dramatically cut the time needed to get a really efficient workout out of the way. Many people, including me, just want to spend as little time as possible and get as much out of the invested time as possible. Body weight training does this.
You can carry out your routine at the gym where you have some equipment such as pull-up bars that you may not have in your house. On the other hand you can buy equipment like that for 25 dollars. This is a small investment I think.
If you have a pull-up bar available you can get started today by doing this exercise.
- 50 Jumping Jacks
- 10 - 15 Pull-ups (using the bar) or do push-ups if you don't have the equipment
- 20 Lunges (10 on each leg)
- 45 seconds Wall Squat
- 60 seconds Plank
- 20 Spiderman Climb
- 10 Burpees
- 60 High Knees - as fast as you can
Now, this routine will only take a few minutes to do because you shouldn't take a break between exercises. Do it back to back without rest. When you're done take a 60 second break (use a timer and don't cheat).
After your break, start over again and repeat the procedure 3 times in total. You will be totally exhausted if you really push yourself on every exercise.
Skipping breaks between exercise will do two things for you. First it will cut down time to a minimum. That removes the "I don't have time" excuse from the list!
Secondly it forces you to keep your heart rate up during the entire exercise creating a HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) kind-of workout and a strength workout all in one. Highly efficient both for building muscle and for burning fat.
Now you have the simplest exercise that you can do at home, yet it's extremely efficient. Try it out today!
