I hate it when people tell me that what’s hindering them to start a body building workout is the lack of decent yet affordable gyms. Yes for many people gym memberships are expensive. And sometimes you cant even maximize your membership fee as gyms are often to overcrowded or under equipped. You may spend time waiting around for a barbell or the right pair of weights when you could be training. But all this can be solve by starting your body building workout at home. Yes, to save money and improve results everyone can work out at home. You don't need a large array of equipment and a full line of machines for an effective home training program. Here are a few bodybuilding exercises that can be done at home. Workout 1: Push-ups
Push-ups are often taken for granted. But what people don’t know is that it is a very effective body building workout. Pushups are about the most convenient way there is to build up your chest, not to mention your shoulders, arms and upper back. You can do the standard pushup - Lie face down on the floor with your palms at shoulder level, fingers pointing forward. Push yourself up until your body weight rests only on your palms and toes. Lower yourself and repeat. Or the other types of push-ups such as incline, decline, chair dips and bent knees. Workout 2: Bicep Exercises
Bicep exercises require the use of a barbell, and for at-home-use, you don't even need a huge barbell. Even a lightweight one will do just fine. The most important aspect of barbell bicep exercises is to make sure that your form is proper. Begin with your elbows at your sides and the barbell in your hands. Bring the barbell up all the way so that it reaches your shoulders; exhale as you do. It should take you a time of two seconds to bring the barbell up to its highest position before you bring it down again. When you reach the top of the motion, don't rest; bring the barbell back down in one fluid motion. Again it should take two seconds to bring it down. Workout 3: Ab Crunches
The Abdominal Crunch is an exercise for the abdominal muscles in the midsection of the body. That Crunch is often used but rarely executed to it's fullest potential. Lie on the floor and stare at the ceiling. Make sure you don't move your neck or arms as they are at your sides. Only your upper body should be elevated toward the ceiling. Make syre that the lower back stays on the floor while only the shoulders actually rise up from the floor. Hold the elevated position for a few seconds and then lower your upper body back down. Workout 4: Squats
Doing squats is one of my favorite workouts because it is very effective. You can do the free standing squats, the split quats or the wide stance squats. Wide stance squats are my favorite. While wide stance squats are pretty common, you can add a variation with the non-gym version. To do this, you hold an object between your legs, then squat down with a wide stance. You should be able to start with 10 reps in the beginning, and then increase from there. Body building workout is conducive to making your body bigger and developing muscles. Not only that, it provides people with more energy, better sleep, overall better health, and even improved psychological moods. And doing bodybuilding exercises at home is just as useful as working out at the gym. So quit those excuses and start your workout now.
