Bodyweight training is often believed to be in the realm of wiry athletes and martial arts experts. However, this isn’t true at all. It is about identifying the perfect movement and doing this in the right amount of reps. This will allow you to build an amazing, muscular body, without having to use equipment. This is something that many people are skeptical about. After all, how can you build muscle when you don’t have any resistance equipment? However, according to fitness experts, it is more about being disciplined enough to workout the right way and consistently. Of course, some equipment to help you push and pull yourself will make the exercises easier and more varied, but what matters is doing them perfectly and in the right amount. Let’s take a look at some exercises you could do.

The Chin Lift

If you have a bar at home, you can easily do the chin lift. If you don’t have a bar, then go to your nearest playground and you are bound to find one there. It is an exercise that focuses on building your lats and biceps.

“An impressive number of full range, perfect reps is twenty. Everyone should do at least fifty total reps per week of some sort of chin up variation.” – Jason Ferruggia

The Squat

Squats are, according to many, grueling. However, they are also highly effective. Squats train your core muscles, your leg muscles and your back muscles. So long as you do them properly, then squats will really build a beautiful body.

Again, it is about doing the right movement and doing it often enough. You can add things to make it more difficult, such as sprinting for a certain distance and then doing a number of squats. This way, you will be doing some cardiovascular work as well.

Push Ups

Push ups are a fantastic workout for your upper body and your overall core. Many people don’t do them because they haven’t got the upper body strength. However, you don’t have to do full push ups straight away. Rather, work your way up to them.

“If you can’t do full push-ups, then start with incline push-ups.” – Bodybuilding.com

Once you get to the point that you can easily do reps of 30 full push ups, you need to add something to make it more difficult. For instance, you can do one arm push ups, altering arms as you go along. It should only take a few months for you to get from an incline push up to a full set of 30 one armed push ups. If it takes you longer, that is fine as well.

As you can see, there are plenty of things you can do with little to no equipment. You don’t have to be intimidated by those people in the gym who bench press 400 pounds and make it look easy. You too can have a strong and muscular body without resorting to steroids or other cheats.
