Exercise Without Any Equipment!

Jesse Miller asked:


For a good workout you don’t always have to go to some gym or do it with some equipment. Simple exercises done without any equipment can too help you get a leaner body. Here are some exercises which you can easily do at your home or at a nearby park.

Walking or jogging

You can take a walk to anywhere or jog in your nearest park. These exercises require no equipment and are a good way to spend sometime in fresh air. Take your IPod with you or take your friends for a walk. You can even jog while watching your favorite TV show. Another simple exercise which will keep your heart at a good rate too is climbing stairs. You can go up and down the stairs of your nearest mall several times.

Push ups

Push ups a re a great exercise without any equipment for your triceps, shoulders and chest. If you find these difficult then start while you are on your knees and when you get stronger then switch to full push ups.

Abs crunches

This exercise is even better than sit ups as your lower back is not strained. Avoid lifting yourself with strain on your neck. Cross your arms around your chest or lightly on your head.

Press ups

Press up is an excellent exercise for your upper body and back muscles and that too without the help of any equipment. Start by keeping your knees and hips in a line and keep your hands apart wider than your shoulder width. Make this exercise hard by placing your feet on a bench and make it easier by putting your hands on a higher place.

Step up

This exercise can be easily performed at your home or at a park. You just need a bench for this. Place your heel on the bench and then step up. Step down with less slowly. Make this exercise harder by stepping on to a higher object or pushing less hard from the ground. If you find this exercise hard the step onto a lower bench or push harder from the ground.

Salt bridge

This is a good exercise for muscles on the sides of your torso. Li on your one side with your elbows and feet in a straight line. Now elevate your hips. This position strengthens your torso muscles. Make it easier by using a bench to raise your hand or elbow.
