The gym can be a pretty daunting place, particularly for beginners. But you don’t need dumbbells, barbells, or even a gym membership to pack on size and strength. Bodyweight workouts are a powerful and convenient way to improve strength, endurance and aid muscle growth, that can be done practically anywhere. Keen to get going? This workout from Steve Albon, Regional Gym Manager for the North-West at Ultimate Performance will set you up on the path to success.
“It’s true that getting into good shape does not need to be limited to the confines of the gym,” says Albon. “The fact of the matter is, using our bodies to improve our physiques is far too underrated, and the benefits of moving your body through space are vast in terms of helping you hone a powerful and lean physique.” Research and studies also support the effectiveness of bodyweight exercises, so if you thought you wouldn’t be able to achieve either without stepping foot in the iron jungle, think again!
