  1. Hello, All.
    My gym was closed for a reconditioning for two months period.
    Is there any known training program fitted to working out with no
    weight machines and no free weight lifting? I would like to get known
    with exercises based on a body weight, like pullups, etc.
    Hope that I'll find something so I won't loose my shape.
    Thanks,
    Lenn.

  2. Use the money you would have spent in the gym and buy some freeweights,

  4. Len--actually, this may provide you with a chance to make some
    excellent gains. I have used the following routine with excellent
    results--it works all of the major muscle groups:

    Lats: Chins to front and back

    Chest: Dips--between two chair backs, in the corner of kitchen
    cabinets--keep your elbows out wide from your body to put most emphasis
    on your pecs. Also, do multiple sets of high rep pushups--elevate your
    feet to make it tougher.

    Delts: Get a bucket and fill with water to the appropriate weight--do
    lateral raises in all directions.

    Biceps--use same bucket above, use stones or bricks for more weight--do
    curls with this.

    Triceps--close grip pushups--with thumbs touching, work well. Also,
    reverse dips with your feet elevated.

    Thighs--Single leg squats and sissy squats work great.

    Calves: single leg calf raises on the end of steps.

    Abs--regular and reverse crunches, situps, leg raises, kneeups.

    Hope that helps--push your body to the limit, and include adequate
    cardio--running, treadmill, bike, etc.

    Deep knee bends, pushups, situps. Hundreds of them.
    Bridges. Chins and dips, if you're willing to improvise equipment.

    Pavel has a book, "Naked Warrior," that focuses on two bodyweight
    exercise, the one-legged squat and the one-armed pushup, both of which
    can be adjusted to fit your current level of fitness.

  7. Thank you all for your answers. I found few ideas to begin with. I
    think I will have to use my imagination and invent some exercises by
    myself.
