Bodyweight exercises can be performed also in the open spaces of the nature without appealing to all sorts of equipments. There are some exercises to consider which are efficient enough to make you feel good and in an excellent shape as well.

Of course that you ask yourself how comes that we do not need heavy and "fancy" machines and equipment to build muscles, when everybody knows that iron muscles need iron weight lifting and heavy machines to work with. But the point is that once you have to sit in order to do your work out on a machine, some parts of the body (low back, abs), and as such their muscles, are not worked out at all, on contrary, they are left to rest while other parts are being worked.

This is why one might end up without having at least a slimming around the area of his body midsection. This is why it is better without these elaborate machines if you want to have your muscular mass equally distributed on the surface of your body.

A bodyweight exercise is that kind of exercise that have direct impact on the core muscles, whereas the machines are the ones to perform exercise on a certain type of muscles, while others are left to rest. But if you are determined to use the following bodyweight exercises you will see that they give better results in muscle building and will allow you feel in an excellent shape.

The first one to practice is the push-up - it is rather difficult to start with the floor push-ups, but if you take them gradually: starting with push-ups leaning your body against your counter-top in the kitchen, then go down on the knees and you will see that in the end you will be able to perform them in the military way.

The second one is squat - in this exercise you need to gradually go down each time you start your set of exercises, because the lower you go the more muscle you are forced to use and as such to build.

The third one is the planks - practicing planks in long lasting positions will make the muscles of your forearms and legs more powerful and firm.

The fourth one is lunges - either they are side lunges, walking ones or reverse, lunges are exercises that involve balance and firmness in legs and core as well.

The fifth exercise is legs lift - lying on the floor with your face up, you put your legs together and lift them in the air, then you need to lower them back, thus you will feel how legs, abs and back muscles start reacting with a sharp, deep pain. But if you keep exercising pretty soon you will be able to feel the benefits of this bodyweight exercise together with the benefits and efficiency of the other four presented above.
