No gym - you don't need one

Ok I do run a pt company but that doesn't mean I train in a gym or say anyone should eithier....

Bodyweight excercise is amazing and adaptable in so many ways to get into shape and melt that fat you want rid of.

But what about adding some muscle or intensifying the exercise?

Go buy some weights if you have a couple hundred £ to spare or simply make some...

Start with small weights of .5kg with baked bean cans, 1kg with juice bottles or 2ltr bottles for 2kg of weight

As a rough guide 1ltr water is 1kg in weight.

Get a little more serious with these 25ltr drums filled with water to the max weigh in at a serious 28.6kg each costing only £5.00 each

Use these with varied amounts of water for lunges, dead lifts, lat raises and so much more.

How about home made pull up bar or monkey bars with a home ladder spread across two points or even vertical up a wall and climb on the inside without use of feet

Sand bags, tyres and so much more can be used and infact better than a gym as it's more realistic than them fixed machines in these futuristic gyms.

Do you have any other ideas?
