Working out without weights can be just as effective and sometimes more so then working out with weights, it all depend on what it is that you are trying to accomplish. I hope that this article will help to show you how to build and maintain muscle.

Just remember what you put into getting fit is what you are going to get out of it. Changing your diet is a big part of getting fit; anyone who suggests that it is not is not beginning straight with you.

The junk food for the most part will have to go. There are many options for those who chose to for go weight trying. The first exercise that comes to mind would be jogging or walking if you are not much of a runner.

Think about it, you have the benefit of being outside and getting fresh air, and you are also getting a good cardio workout. If the weather does not permit, you can always walk on the trend mill. If you do not have a trend mill walking or running in place can be just as effective.

If you have access to a pool or the beach, swimming is another great way to get a cardio workout. Swimming also tones and strengthens muscles. Push-ups are another great way to get some strength training without weights, as wells as sit-ups, crunches, squats, leg lunges, etc
