Can you build your body without a gym?

There lies the fact that we mostly know that acquiring a dream shape is impossible without a gym. The place where I come from in India has a slight different story to appear. Most of you know about Slum-dog Millionaire-the Oscar winning movie. In our area, people from slum and tribal places boast of having a well toned physique, much better in shape than the urban Joe. In certain cases I have seen labours and rickshaw-pullers having 6 pack abs.
What happens is that the concerned people are never actually putting in much effort to build up their bodies and many give up way too soon before results start coming in. We are constantly exposed to commercials for exercise equipment and gadgets, we have slowly over time become convinced that the only way to get in shape is to buy something and get to work using it. Our ancestors have been keeping their bodies in shape for far longer than companies have been around trying to sell us products to help us get there. Obesity is what normal people resort to these days. You can either be a couch potato trying to attain a round shaped body or you can have that lean physique up your sleeves. Joining Expensive gyms in your area might not yield you any result unless you put up your fight to the maximum and dedicate yourself.

There are hundreds of free hand exercises available which really helps out. You can start with stretching on the morning for example. One of the most famous is the triceps workout by dipping.
You can go for pull ups Or push ups, most of them are free hand exercises. Though you might not be able to build yourself like Jay Cutler, you can surely attain shapes like Matthew McConaughey(Remember My Earlier Post, Click here) or close. You will find certain videos in YouTube if you search the term free hand workouts.

And finally, you might try simply walking to places that you normally use your car to reach. Walking is just as good as jogging so long as you go far enough, and it’s a lot less stress on the knees. Consider walking to work even if it is close by, that way you can even contribute to Environment Protection. The destination does not matter, as long as you get yourself out there and get your feet moving.
