Many people
think of the gym directly when they want to have a full body building
workout. But do you really need to go to the gym to have this?
The answer is no. At home, you can easily have a good full body
building workout either with body weight exercises or if you want
to get more serious, you can add a small home gym with only free
weights like dumbells, a bench and have a full body building workout.
If you have sufficient space in your house, it's worth it provided
you prefer training at home rather than going to the gym.
Free weights
allow you to perform numerous exercises which target many muscle
groups. No need to use machines which will definitely take more
space.
Have at least
two dumbells with adjustable weights or if you have the space,
you can buy a dumbell rack for different dumbell sizes and weights.
So no need to adjust weights if you need to. You don't need a
barbell at all because all exercises that can be performed with
a barbell can also be performed with two dumbells. Barbell also
takes more space since it's longer. Then you just need an adjustable
bench for your chest exercises mainly and others as well.
Here
is a sample of a full body building workout for your needs:
Chest:
Dumbell Bench Press, Incline Dumbell Bench Press, Dumbell Flyes
Triceps:
Dumbell Overhead Extension, Dumbell Skull Crushes, Dumbell Kickbacks,
Close Grip Dumbell Press
Biceps:
Dumbell Curls, Alternate Dumbell Curls, Concentration Curls
Back:
One-Arm Dumbell Rows, Two-Arm Dumbells Rows, Two-Arm Dumbells
Deadlift, Pull Ups(You only need a bar to hang from which you
can fix between a door or two opposite walls). There are pull
up bars which you can easily fix without any bolts and drilling
work. They are auto-fixable. Only pressure is applied when you
lock the bar between two solid surfaces. A pull up bar can be
considered an option as well since the other exercises will work
your lats and back very well.
Forearms:
One-Arm Dumbell Wrist Curl Palms Up and Palms Down
Shoulders:
Dumbell Press, Side Lateral Raises, Bent Over Raises, Front Raises
Trapezius:
Dumbell Shrugs
Abdominals:
Crunches and Leg Raises with the use of bench or without
Legs:
Dumbell Squats, Dumbell Lunges
Calves:
Dumbell Calf Raises
As you can see, you don't need complicated or sophisticated machines
to get a full body building workout. By only sticking to the basics,
you can achieve your exercise goals.
