Natural Muscle Building Workouts Without Weight Lifting
Have you ever thought if it’s possible to do muscle building workouts without necessarily lifting weights? The answer is yes. There are different natural ways it can be done. But one thing you need to know is that no matter how hard you try you might never be able to get the size of muscles that those in the gym who use all the equipment’s for training have.
To achieve this kind of result you must first believe that it is possible and not only possible but also achievable. Secondly, you must have a routine planner to check your short term and long term improvements. A planner is one of the ways to maintain motivation during a workout routine. Building muscle without weight doesn’t mean you are permitted to do all what you like. You need to have a diet plan which will guide you on what to eat during your muscle building workouts.
A few workout routine such as upper body building which includes pull ups, push-ups and dips and lower body building which includes squats and crunches are what you will need to do to create that desired shape.
UPPER BODY
Dips
The Dips come in two different types of double bar which you can easily add to your routine. The target for this exercise is your triceps muscle. Start with your arms widely stretched to the sides with your body weight resting on it. Make sure your elbow is close to your torso. Once achieved, you can now lower your body up and down. Your breathing should also be put into consideration, breath in when you lower your body and breath out when you push back up.
Push ups
This type of exercise requires you to be on a flat surface with your palms directly on the floor and your arms spread slightly apart from each other, making it a little bit wider than the shoulder in distance. Ensure that your body is parallel with your palms and toes supporting your body weight and then push up and down. Your breathing should also be considered here. Follow the same breathing technique shown in the dips.
Do as many reps as you can but make sure you hit 100. You might not be able to do that at once but try as much as possible to get to 100. If all you can do at a time is 20 then you would need to repeat it 5 times to hit hundred. If you will only follow this instruction you would watch your biceps and chest increase in size like you never did.
Pull Ups
Get yourself under a pull up bar and grab it with your arms slight spread apart from each other using your shoulder to measure the distance. Then, pull yourself up and down. At every pull up make sure your chin goes above the bar and try not to start with momentum as this will only get your body stressed instead of build your muscle. Slowly pull yourself up ensuring that your lower body is not swinging to any side but steady. You can do it with your palms either facing your body or opposite. The target for this exercise is to successfully build your shoulder and bicep muscle without weight lifting.
In this type of exercise you must have a target to meet. Such targets for a beginner should be a total of 50 pull ups. You don’t have to do the whole fifty at once you can break it into 10 pull ups done five times. The easier it gets for you, the more you increase the target.
LOWER BODY
Squats
Spread your legs apart using your shoulder width to measure the distance and then rest your hands on your waist and your waist slight moved backward and your knee pointing out a little bit. Move down as you breathe in and breathe out as you push back up. Beginners should have a target of 100 reps daily. Like I have always said you don’t have to do everything at once, start with 10 reps and do 5 sets to achieve 100 reps.
Crunches
Lie down on a flat surface with your leg positioned close to your buttocks. Your hands should be well crossed behind your head. Once this position is achieved you can crunch your torso right at your thigh. Breathe out as you pull up and breathe in as you as you go down.
These are just a few of the muscle building workouts that you can do for a natural effect.
