A no gym workout is perfect for anyone who doesn't have access to traditional bodybuilding equipment. Using your own bodyweight is a great way to build your muscles, and an increasing number of fitness experts are recommending it. Read on to find out how to get a great no gym workout.

Step 1

You probably don't even need to be told this, but the first part of most workouts is some cardio to get yourself warm and get your heart moving, and a no gym workout is exactly the same. It's up to you how to do this, ride your bike around your block a few times, run up and down the stairs in your home for a few minutes, or even jog on the spot, it's your call. To get really warm, try jogging for two minutes, and then doing a minute of sit ups, and then jogging again etc. Do this for ten minutes and you'll know what's up!

Step 2

The main thing anyone wants to build tends to be their arms, and this is the same whether you are in state of the art gym or whether you are getting into a no gym workout. If you have weights, great, but if not, there are plenty of things you can substitute them for. I know a guy who got great gains doing biceps curls with sports bags full of books! You can build the rest of your arms pretty well by doing press ups and things like that.

Step 3

Your chest is harder to build up than your arms, simply because to get the very best training usually requires some kind of special equipment like a weight bench. That's not to say it can't be done in a no gym workout though, and you can get some good gains by doing tough press ups (one handers or declined) and also by doing dips-not everyone can do these but in some houses you can dip yourself by holding onto the kitchen work surfaces.

Step 4

Legs are something it can be tough to get benefits out of with your no gym workout, but you can definitely get some gains if you work hard. Your first step is some simple squats - even done without weights most people find these tough, and you can always use the substitute weights tricks from earlier. Calves are a little easier, as doing heel raises on a step or something will have an effect, as will your cardio work if you are into skipping etc

So there you are, one no gym workout - just work hard and you'll be rewarding. Click the links below for a free review of the best workout plans for building big muscle fast.
