Most of the people think that using weights through weight-lifting is the only way to build body muscles. This is true that you can gain muscles through the use of weights but this is not the only way to gain them. In this article we will discuss how to build muscles without use of weight lifting equipment. There are some exercises that can help in building muscles. In this article, we will discuss two ways to get muscles without weights.

Before we can go in to the details of the aforementioned 2 ways, the question arises that why folks want to build muscles without use of weights. One reason is the safety issue because while exercising through weights, you need to have a helper who can assist you during the exercise and take care of you so that you do not fall into a hazard. While lifting weights during chest exercise, you may end up getting trapped under the weight after too many lifts. Second reason is that some guys do not have enough money or do not want to buy the whole equipment for weight lifting and even do not have space for placing this whole equipment. Thirdly in some cases, they do not want to take the pain of changing weights and lifting them so they find it easy to have exercise.

The two ways are by exercising using your own body weight and by using resistance bands. Your body provides a lot of resistance when you do exercise using it. During pushups your arms and chest push a lot of weight and similarly when you do pull-ups, your body provides much resistance.

Resistance bands are rubber tubes that you can use as a substitute for weights. They come in different sizes and shapes and can be used effectively for exercising. There are arm curls and overhead presses and using some imagination you can do almost every type of exercise that can otherwise be done using weights. You can use a combination of body exercises and resistance bands to get really good results.

Here is an exercise programme that uses both of the methods. You can use your body as resistance and perform pushups, pull-ups, abdominal crunches, squats and lunges. Also, you may do bicep curls, overhead presses, overhead curls, bent overs, toe raises etc using resistance bands. This program can result in building body muscles and is meant for serious body builders. This program can help guys who want to build their bodies and have a better body shape. You must try out this programme to see its results.
