AT HOME LEG WORKOUT - NO EQUIPMENT

Image
Make sure you are eating enough protein if you are trying to build muscle! Happy Sunday! I thought I would take the time to share with you an at home, no equipment, leg workout! If you are serious about adding size to your legs, the most efficient way is to be lifting challenging weights. Now, as a beginner that only has 5 pound weights lying around the house, it's not difficult to create a challenging upper body workout! But your legs are so much stronger and more powerful, 5 pounds won't be quite as challenging. You can certainly get stronger and even increase muscle mass with no equipment, but this will take more time and may not yield as good of results as heavy lifting will (but more on why you CAN build muscle at home in a bit!). All of this goes to say that basically, as someone who wants to get bigger legs, this can be frustrating when you have limited or even no equipment around. So I highly HIGHLY recommend either joining a gym, or starting one in your own ho...

       I have found this chart from Pinterest to be helpful! Hey there! Have you ever thought that the only way to get a good workout in was to use all these fancy machines (that sometimes look like a torture device) at the gym? I don't know about you, but that is a pretty discouraging thought! Wouldn't it be great if there was someway to exercise every part of your body without any additional weight or machines? If you answered that with a resounding "YES!" then I have great news for you! You can get in a quality workout with just your own bodyweight! Yes it is true!! Keep reading to find out how ;) Whether you are a beginner and the weights are intimidating, you are short on time, or don't have access to a gym, these exercises are for you! There are a million and two different bodyweight exercises, but i want to share with you some of my personal favorites; the ones I have found the most effective. This isn't a specific workout, but just different ex...

AT HOME Full Body, NO Equipment Workout

Happy Monday! Today's post is just a quickie- a 10 minute full body workout, NO equipment needed!! I have been sick this past weekend with the flu, and haven't been able to workout at all. I am not recovered yet at all, but I wanted to do a light, low-intensity workout! Like I said in my last workout post , I like to do full body workouts after having a couple days off. I usually structure my workouts with around 3 sets for each exercise, but this time I changed it up- you go through one set of all the exercises, and then repeat! One "round" took me about five minutes, so I completed it twice for a simple 10 minute workout! You could use this like I did on a sick day, go through one round in the morning to get your blood flowing, or even complete three or four rounds to make it a longer workout while on vacation :) I took no breaks in between the exercises, just keep on going! Okay, here's the workout: 25 Air Squats 25 Squat Pulses 20 Lateral Squat Walks ...
