By: brenda moore Home | Health-and-Fitness | Weight-Loss


Muscle building without weights can be done but it will take a little more time to be effective and should be mixed with other exercises. However, you can get strength, endurance and some gain with these types of exercises. Many of them are natural and do not need much equipment. It is not only what you use but how you do them that will make them effective.

One good exercise for muscle building without weights is a combination of walking and jogging called interval training. Firstly you will run as fast as you can for 20-30 seconds then walk steadily for 3 minutes. Repeat this routine 5 times. This will help you burn fat, which is essential for growth. When you begin training do this routine 3 times a week, after this period when you have lost some body fat you can reduce this to twice a week.

When you train with muscle building without weights you will need to target certain sets of muscles with different exercises. Lower back, calves and hamstrings can benefit with squats. There are a variety of abdominal exercises you can do; one of them is the leg lift. To help shoulders, triceps and pectorals push-ups will help. All these exercises should be repeated 15-20 times. You should try to do them every other day so that your muscles get a chance to go into recovery and will also put on growth.

All these muscle building without weights exercises, when they are combined will produce growth and burn body fat. For maximum effect body fat should be reduced to 10% in men and 14% in women. This will allow your physique to show and not be masked by a covering of fat. It is also important for your health to keep your weight down. When you are working out vigorously, it is vital for you to keep in the best health possible.

Diet plays a big part in muscle building without weights. It is very important to eat a healthy diet and cut out all junk food. Keep fat consumption low especially saturated fats and cholesterol. Try to regulate carbohydrates but do not completely get rid of them as they have important nutrients that the body needs. Try to take some extra protein in the form of supplements, together with cretin to help growth.
