How often should someone workout?

How can someone get a good workout from home when they dont have money to buy exercise equiment and videos?

  • You see I have just started a diet and need to workout but I dont have anyway of getting to a gym or buying equiment to work out on. I also dont have a way of getting videos to workout by either.

  • Answer:

    Buying some free weights is a good idea and if you are just looking to tone they do not have to be heavy. 3 to 5 pounds each is enough. This will be great for your upper body. For lower body squats and lunges are wonderful for your thighs and butt. Deadlifts are great for your hamstrings. Stand with knees slightly bent, hold one weight in each hand and bend over from the waist keeping your back very straight. Bend as far as you can letting weights hang towards the floor. Slowly come up and repeat 12 to 15 times. On the last one hold the weights down there and do ten tiny pulses up and down. Do two to three sets like that and you will feel it in the backs of your thighs the next day. There are many things to do for your legs that don't require equipment but it would take so much room to explain them all. Try reading fitness magazines, they always have great ideas.

Just buy yourself some dumbells...start with 5-pound ones and use them to exercise you upper body. In addition, you can do crunches and pushups. To exercise your legs, just go running a couple days per week.

If you have stairs, use them - throughout the day. Dance, stretch, run in place - these are all free and effective.

Put on your walkman and jump around and run around your house like a chicken-it works! For weights use bottle waters!
