Top 10 Body Weight Workouts

There are so many reasons why going to the gym isn’t the best option for a lot of people…

Are you somebody who prefers to workout in your own home?

Or maybe you do a lot of travelling and that disrupts your exercise routine?

What I discovered was if I wanted to make exercise a habit, it had to be easy.

And that meant no special equipment, something I could do anywhere and a workout that was quick.

But of course I still wanted to see results and my body changing shape. A workout still needs to be challenging enough to cause change.

So that’s why if you want to change the shape of your body, you can only really do it through resistance exercise.

Sure – running may help you lose size, but you’ll still have all the same lumps and bumps in the same place.

So doing weight training is very important – not just because of the way you look, but because of the way it makes you feel… invincible!

The best resistance exercises I found were ones where I used my own body as a weight. They are so much easier than having to worry about buying a range of weights. And they can actually make you stronger as you can move your body in so many different way to increase muscles you never knew you had!

Check out these top body weight workouts and start incorporating them into your week to really notice a difference in the way you look and the way you feel.

I also just wanted to let you know about a new online fitness service that I’ve been using called Somafit. I have never seen anything like it before and it suits me perfectly.

Basically, they have an abundance of short workouts between 5-15 minutes long, and you can log into the site and just do whichever workout you feel like and what you’ve got time for.

They have workouts for everything under the sun but they are designed to get you moving away from your desk at regular intervals.

Best thing about these? You don’t have to change your clothes!

These workouts will not get you all hot and sweaty and that means you can do them at work, at home whenever you are aching from the computer – just pop one of these workouts on.

I have been doing them every day and now I wouldn’t miss a day without them as my body feels much less stiff, my energy is improving and I feel so chilled. If I get stressed I put one of these on and 5 minutes later it’s pure bliss again!
