Get Physically Fit Without Going To A Gym
A Visitor Asks This Question:
I don’t really want a membership in a gym.
Can I get things like a 6 pack by doing about 200 sit up (curl up?) a day, and get my arms muscular by doing a lot of push-ups?
And how do you suggest I do my abs…. Thanks

Your body needs resistance to build muscle and don’t forget to eat your protein to feed the muscle. Doing pushups works your chest, shoulders and triceps, but won’t give you bigger biceps.
Doing situps doesn’t have enough resistance to build a 6 pack and they most certainly won’t burn off any fat you may have around your belly.
You don’t have to go to the gym, but you really need some type of equipment to give you the necessary resistance you need for muscle growth. However, it definitely doeesn’t have to be expensive machines or even weights. I would suggest getting the Terrell Owens resistance bands shown below. It’s got up to 254 lbs of resistance. (They’re are other sets available – 88#, 134#, 388#) With that set, you’ll be able to workout your entire body at multiple levels: floor, chest, and overhead.
