Your Questions: How to start a Workout
This week’s question comes from a college student…
“This is great informational website. I am college student. I was wondering how can I start working out without Gym membership and weights. – Dave, Georgetown”
Hey Dave,
Most of my workouts I share do not use expensive weights or need access to gym. You can always start from bodyweight exercises, build a sandbag or try to check out few garage sales around your place to get some weights second hand.
I’d ask you to start with a basic workout like
Push Up
Squat
Parallel bar dips (or chair dips)
Handstand pushup
Check this article For a upper body workout example without weights
For lower body workout you can try one of my sandbag workouts.
Monday : Upper Body
Tuesday: Lower body
Wednesday: Take a walk in the evening, or do something for fun (basketball, tennis or any other outdoor sport).
Thursday: Full body workout (take a pick from any of my routines)
Friday: Rest
Saturday: Full body workout + Tabata workout (check articles in this blog)
Sunday : Rest
Now above break up will help you lose weight, build strength, endurance, stamina and what not. They are really like a magic pill but of course they are hard to swallow (err to do). As most of my routines are high intensity routines, they do not take more than 10–15 minutes (rarely 20 minutes). You’d wish you never met me.
Hey Varun,
