Don't Forget About BodyWeight Exercises

Most people think one needs to go to a gym to get an efficient workout.

However, this might not be totally true. In fact you can get a total body-workout right there in the confines of your own bedroom

Without further delay here are the exercises:

Body Weight Only Squats

Just like squats they work the thighs, hips, butt, hamstrings and some lower back as well.

Second, unlike regular squats they can be done just about anywhere, no equipment required. Now if you think these are too easy, try doing ten sets of ten reps per set of these, with only thirty seconds of rest between sets.

Trust me these will give you a great thigh pump and chances are you will be huffing and puffing in no time flat!

Dive Bomber Push-ups aka Hindu Push-ups

These are a different style of push-up than what most people are used to, but more people should be doing them because not only do they work the chest, but the shoulders as well and also the upper back.

To do them start in a push-up position with your feet wide and your butt in the air. Descend slowly in a scooping type motion, you can touch your chest to the floor, but I prefer to just miss the floor with my chest. Finish the movement looking up with an arched back. Reverse back to the starting position and repeat.

Knee-Ups

I always like to end any workout with some kind of ab movement and knee-ups off a chair fit the bill.

With these, sit on the edge of a chair and lean back a bit, then bring your knees into your chest, squeeze hard for a count and lower.

Do not let the tension come off your abs on this movement—keep it on the abs at all times.

This routine works the whole body and is perfect for use anytime you will not be able to go to the gym or simply do not feel like working with weights. Throw in some jumping jacks, burpees, pull-ups and chin-ups and you are good to go.
