Let’s continue this topic from last week. We discussed how when most people hear the term exercise they immediately put a picture of a bodybuilder in their minds. The fact is that true doesn’t come with having big muscles but rather from having a regular routine of physical fitness that includes cardio, resistance training and stretching. In fact the best workouts are those where you never even leave your own home. So much has been made over the last twenty years of these fitness and health clubs that charge a solid monthly fee for a membership so you can gain access to a variety of fitness equipment.
Here is the reality. If you are standing naked in front of a mirror, you already have in your possession all the fitness equipment you need to get in shape. While it may seem unusual to say this, I can tell you that there are a number of exercises that use your own body weight as the catalyst to spur strength and muscle development. In fact, a workout purely based on using your own body weight is probably one of the safest and effective workouts you will find. The best part is that you can pocket that over priced gym membership.
