Why You Should Try No Equipment Workouts

When most people think about working out, they think of rigid diets and long hours at an 
expensive facility, but you would probably be surprised if you met someone that was in 
peak fitness condition who told you that they’ve never been to the gym. Working out 
without the aid of machines is completely possible, and it might even have some great 
benefits that you won’t find on any weight machine. This article is geared towards 
providing you with sound reason why you should try no equipment workouts. 


Effective at Any Level of Fitness

One of the best things about no equipment workouts is that they are good for both 
beginners and veteran gym goers. Any exercise that you choose can be beefed up or 
thinned out based on positioning, amount of reps and other similar factors. For example, 
you can do regular crunches, and then increase the resistance by elevating the lower 
half of your body on an incline. A similar course can be taken with push-ups. This gives 
you tremendous flexibility in the range of exercises as well as their level of intensity.  

It Is Very Convenient 

The main reasons people don’t get to the gym is because they might have a busy 
schedule, kids to raise, or the gym is too far away. Creating a routine using only your 
own body can free you from a lot of those constraints, and less tool and props will make 
it possible for you to exercise anywhere at a moment's notice. The only thing you will 
ever need other than your own form, will be a small amount of space in which to move 
around. These can be done in a hotel, your home, at work, or even in a parking lot if you 
need to work in that quick push up routine. 

It Strengthens Your Core

Exercises like planks can strengthen your core beyond what you would expect. The 
core is made up of several different muscle groups including the back, arms legs, chest 
and abs. Focused attention to your core will give you a healthier back, tighter abs, and 
better posture. This is because exercises using your weight like planking requires the 
command of multiple muscle groups working together for the desired effect instead of 
something like curls which only works one side of one muscle area.
