FitnessMany people fail to know that not only can strength training routines that incorporate equipment can help you to lose weight and get tone fast, but strength training without weights can also do the same thing. And many just as good and even better if done in the correct format and proper form, yes sometimes the results can take a small bit longer to show. But the results can pretty much be the same.

If you are not able to afford to go to the gym or invest in a personal trainer and expensive gym equipment. Then using strength training without weights is the only option that you could choose if you plan on incorporating weight lifting into your workout routine.

Here are tips you could use to start Strength Training without Weights.

1.First and Foremost use on your own body weight- Your own body is just as effective when it comes to losing weight and can help tone just as fast. Do push ups, pull ups, rows, all these calisthenics moves will help you tone fast with having to get some equipment.

2.Pilates – is another one that will help you gain muscle by using your body’s own weight and breathing techniques to strengthen your middle core and improve your over all agility and stamina.

3.Use crunches and hand griping exercises and flex and control your muscles in certain intervals to get them used to being shocked.

We all know that sometimes working out can be boring and If you are not using weight it can become cumbersome. Here are some tips to make working out less boring.

Putting on an hour-long TV show that you have to get involved in is a great way to make your mind wander. While watching your show, set your pace at a very light rhythm. When a commercial comes on, pick up your pace then slow back down when the show returns.

Another way to make exercise less boring is to add other things to make it exciting. Add people or music. Set your iPod to shuffle and get moving. Create various exercise playlists and then don’t stop until the music does.

Rewarding yourself when you do a good job at the gym is a key element of making exercise less boring. Don’t get too excited – this doesn’t mean you can have a whole box of Twinkies. This means that after a long and strenuous workout, you can treat yourself to a massage at a spa or a new outfit to suit that trimmer, healthier figure you’re now sporting.
