Question: How to workout at home for free!?
What are some workouts a guy can do at home with no free weights or anything!? I know that planks and pushups are some of the best but are there any other workouts that I can do around the house, maybe even with some household things!?
Im more of a thin build so I'm looking for more tone than mass!. Also I want to target arms, chest, and abs!. I know obviously at home with no weights I am limited to what I can do but hopefully there are some exercises!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
I've been in your same position before!. I have since bought some free weights that make it much easier, however here are some exercises:
*Buy or make a chinup bar and do chinups!.
*Do pushups, if you can do more than 20, try doing them with your feet elevated on a chair or stairs for more resistance!. Also, try doing them "explosively" where you push yourself up into the air off the ground as high as you can on each rep!. Try clapping in the air!.
*Squats: Without weight, just squat all the way down to the floor and JUMP back up!. By doing these movements faster and explosively (ie jumping) your basically adding resistance (like with weights)!.
*Situps: Fill and empty milk gallon jug with water, hold it against your chest, stick you feet under a sofa (add pillows if the sofa is too high) and do situps!.
*Vertical pushups: Find an empty wall, and do a handstand up against it!. Slowly let yourself down to the floor (put a small pillow under your head) and then push back up!. It's okay if you can't push yourself back up: just slowly let yourself down, then get out of it, and do it over again!. Eventually you will be able to do them!. This will build lots of shoulder and triceps strength!.
*Triceps Dips: Get a chair and put it behind you!. Face away from the chair and extend you legs out straight in front of you!. Start to "Sit down" in FRONT of the chair or bench!. Place your hands just behind your back and hold onto the edge of the chair!. Use your arms to lower yourself almost to the floor and then back up to the height of the chair!. Keep your legs straight out in front of you and use your arms!.
If you can do more than 12 or so of any of these, figure out some way to add more weight (sand or water-filled milk jugs, etc!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com
