Home exercises without equipment

When it comes to exercises, it is important to create a good plan that will create a well developed muscled body without any additional fat tissue present. It is not easy, but it can be done.

Workouts can be done with or without additional weight. Additional weight can shift workout towards muscle mass building, while no weight focuses on lean muscles. Also, exercises can be done in a gym or at home. Home exercises without equipment can also be very effective and are usually performed by people who do not have enough time for going to a gym. Some basic exercises that can be done at home without additional weight or equipment are push ups, sit ups, crouches, leg raises, squats, lounges, stretching forms, aerobic and yoga techniques etc.

Most important thing to know here is that all these exercises can be done in several different forms, which is excellent for body toning and fat tissue reduction. For example, there are numerous variations of push ups. Position of the hands on the floor can be changed and that changes the affected muscles. Palms placed one next to another will emphasize the use of triceps, while widening the gap between palms shifts focus more and more on the pectoralis area. It has to be said that push ups also affect abdominal area, back and even legs.

As for sit ups, it is a very important exercise for building and toning abdominal muscles, although creating perfect six pack requires additional things to be done. Extra fat tissue from the abdominal area has to be eliminated. This is done because that perfect six pack should be visible when created. Also, most of the abdominal exercises are based on flexion, which might shorten the muscles in this area. So, the stretching of these muscles is very important. For fat tissue elimination, some cardio workout is recommended. This can include aerobics.

It is also important to use some healthy, balanced diet, which will be a great addition to exercising. But, the diet must not be strict with rigorous rules and low level of calories. This is because exercising is present and it spends certain amount of calories. When low-level calorie diet is added, it might lead to exhaustion, which is not healthy at all. Diet should be healthy, with 5 meals a day and enough calories and nutrients for all daily activities including physical activity.
