Freestyle Exercise: No Equipment, No Problem

When it comes to exercise the "no equipment - no time" excuse is among the top and most frequently abused.

Are you plagued by this, "I don't have enough time to get to the gym, or even, "I don't want to.”
How would you like to put the odds in your favor and have more time and more energy to exercise every single day in the comfort and privacy of your own home. How is this possible? Simply put - exercise at your own home, on your own time, and with your own body.

What do you do? How about some squats and pushups.
I'm serious - if you did nothing else just those two exercises alone and started a sound nutritional program you could get all the results you want. You don't need any fancy exercise equipment!

How does that sound? You can make all the excuses you want, about how you don't have $3000 worth of equipment or you don't have a full room dedicated to working out.That's all great and dandy - but in the end it's just an excuse.Use your own body to exercise, it's the best equipment you will ever have!

Unless you can do one-arm pushups and one-leg squats then you have plenty of room to grow in your at-home exercise and fitness routines. As an exercise coach and weight loss expert here is what I recommend....

Next time you have 10 minutes try this:

Body weight squats (30 seconds)
Rest (10 seconds)
Pushups (30 seconds)
Rest (10 seconds)
Burpees / Up-Downs (30 seconds)
Rest (10 seconds)

Go through the whole circuit 5 times - 2 minutes each time through. Don't be fooled by the simplicity of this workout - try it out and see for yourself. While there will surely be a bit of transition time or overdone resting periods - you will usually get it done with the 10-11 minute range.

Now don't tell me you can't wake up just 10 minutes earlier and go through this mini workout. You could even do this while you watch TV.
Now I'm not promising a miracle with these mini-circuits. Just like with anything else you have to put effort forth. Supplement this with a proper nutrition plan and you will be well on your way to a better body and a better life.
