Can you get in shape without using any weights

People always ask if they can get into shape without going to the gym and without using any weights. The answer is simple, yes people can get into shape without using any weights or workout equipment.

The key to getting into shape without any weights is dedication. A person needs to be dedicated and stick with a workout routine. Diet is also important and so is a routine. Diet, routine and dedication are the three things that can really help a person get into great shape without stepping foot into a gym or fitness center.

With that said, lets go over the three things that can help a person get into shape without using weights.

Dedication

A person needs dedication if they want to get into shape without using weights or stepping foot into a gym. Dedication is something a person must have if they want to get into great shape. There's no real secret to getting dedicated to get into shape. A person must simply DO IT. If a person is "too tired" or "too busy" to workout, then they need to stop making excuses and simply exercise. They need to develop a "JUST DO IT" attitude.

When a person says that they will exercise 4 days a week, then they need to make sure that is what they do. Not 2 days a week, not 3 days a week, but 4 days a week. They should stick with a schedule and make sure they JUST DO IT.

Diet

What a person eats is very important when it comes to getting into shape without using any weights or stepping foot into a gym. A person doesn't really need to do any hardcore dieting or try the latest fad diet, but they should just be aware of what is going into their mouths.

A person should stay away from bad sugars and junk food. A person should consume a protein throughout the day, 1-2 grams of protein per pound of body weight is ideal. Eating a moderate amount of good carbs is also ideal. If keeping track of how much protein and carbs is too difficult or too time consuming for somebody, then they should just eat with common sense. This means stay away from foods that are known to be unhealthy.

A persons should decide what muscles they will work out on, the exercises that they will do and what days they will do it on. They need to stick with a routine.
