Upper Body Workout Without Weights
Many of us wish to have trimmed abs and toned body but do not have time to spare for the gymnasium. Actually there are some workouts that can be done without the weights and the gym equipments in the home itself. Doing these for merely 45 minutes in a day 5 times a week can help you have nice biceps. If done with proper effort and determination it may also help you have 6 pack abs without any professional trainer.

So when you are performing a pushup, not only are you doing a difficult exercise, but you're engaging lots of muscle groups at once. Difficult exercises + large muscle recruitment = hormone release. The hormones we're talking about are Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and Testosterone.

Getting a quick upper body bodyweight workout is not that difficult. You can create workouts that last anywhere from 5 minutes to 45 minutes. It's all based on how much time you have to workout, or how much time you want to spend working out.

The best way to focus your efforts on a handful of exercises is to use intensity techniques. There are a lot of intensity techniques out there, but my favorite one is supersets. Supersets are where you alternate between two exercises with little to no rest in between each set.

In order to flaunt a sculpted appearance without weights, you should increase your meal intake. One should eat at least 6-8 small meals daily. Protein supplements are equally important for maintaining the energy levels. Nitric oxide plays a major role in muscle development. You can easily blend cardio, bodyweight workouts, healthy diet plan and nitric oxide for toning up your muscles easily. Nitric Oxide improves your blood flow, which consequently stimulates muscle pumping. It also decreases the recovery time and enhances your immune system. Nitric Oxide helps in revitalizing your whole body.

When you perform pushups, pullups, and bodyweight squats, you're basically moving your body up and down. That's it. Our bodies were meant to twist, jump, tumble, roll, and move side to side. In other words, you're only moving your body in one direction with the basic movements.

Pull ups is an exercise that work the shoulders and biceps in your upper body. You can make a homemade pull up bar to use for this exercise. The first thing you need to do is grab a hold of the pull up bar with your hands positioned about shoulder width apart and your palms facing the opposite direction from you. Now pull yourself upward until your chin is over the bar and to complete the exercise you will need to slowly move to the hanging position.
