Your Super Simple Free Workout Plan Is Here

By: Jennifer Schaecher Home | Health-and-Fitness


Putting together a free workout plan may be easy enough. One that works, however, may be a little more tricky. That is really the key. You don't want to invest time in doing a workout consistently, only to see little to no results for your efforts. The best part is you do not need to buy any fancy equipment, have a gym membership, or even very much space to do it.

Right here I am providing you with an extremely simple free workout plan that you could use to gain muscle and lose fat. That's what you are looking for, aren't you? I'm going to set you up with three exercises, and then I'll explain exactly how you can use these as your free workout plan.

Your free workout plan exercises are:

Exercise 1:Squats

Squats receive my all-time highest rating as the best exercise for weight loss. Your leg muscles are some of the larger muscle groups of the body, so building this area gives you the "most bang for your buck" so to speak. Squats are sometimes regarded as a problem for people with knee issues, but I assure you, this is not the case. I have a bad knee myself, and I can attest to the fact that, IF DONE PROPERLY, squats can be very beneficial for knee pain/problems. Doing squats properly means that you stay in correct alignment, don't allow your knees to shimmy around on you as you bend down, or as you come up. The knees should stay in line with the hip joint, which should also be aligned with the foot placement. That also leads into the parallel placement of the feet. Most people tend to angle the feet outward and that is a great way to put unnecessary strain on the knee area. It may feel awkward for awhile, but once some of those secondary muscles get trained to activate, it will start to feel more natural.

Exercise 2: Push-ups

Groan inwardly (or aloud) but push-ups are another big time saving exercise, hitting so many muscle groups at once. If you are looking for quick and effective, this is it. Yet again, though, I must caution you on form. If you are not strong enough to keep your back straight, or you are simply ducking your hips down more than your arms, then you should start out with a modified pose, i.e. girly push-ups. Knees hip width apart on the floor, and again, keep the line from knees to head straight. The only motion is in the arms, everything else should stay put.

Small side note: These are called body weight exercises. Phenomenally effective.

Exercise 3: What? You need another one?

Start out with five minutes of jumping rope, or if you do have joint issues, I recommend a mini-trampoline. Here's how I make this into a free workout plan. You alternate between the three, quickly doing as many repetitions of each, while at the same time, keeping proper form. Because in the end, if you are doing them in bad form, it won't do you very much good, and can end up instead injuring you. So, see how many of each you can do at one go, and then try to do four rounds like that. Keep track in your Exercise Log Sheet. If you want to scoff at it, go ahead, but I challenge you to try it first. Sometimes I do throw in a few more exercises to the list, but for a beginning free workout plan, this is a really good, although simple, one. Another benefit is, it takes less than 30 minutes, and if you keep your momentum up, it will be a tremendous workout. Try it now!
