Get in Shape! A great new years resolution.

People spend hundreds of millions of dollars buying gym memberships and fitness equipment this time of year in preparation for their new years resolutions but you dont have to. Getting in shape doesnt require money, just knowledge and dedication and this video will put you on the road to fitness.

In this video I will show you how to achieve your new years resolution of losing weight and getting stronger with a simple 30 minute home workout. This video assumes that you have no experience with fitness or weightlifting so dont worry, we are not going to use any intimidating equipment. You will feel better and have more energy after your very first workout!

OK, now for our workout, there are only three exercises - crunches for abs, pushups for chest, shoulders and triceps, and pullups for lats and biceps. And dont worry, if you cant do a single pushup or pullup I will show you how you can get started and build up your strength. This workout is for everyone, no matter how out of shape you are. You probably did these three exercises back in PE as a kid, but I'm going to show you how to do them correctly so you dont get injured.

On Monday/Wednesday/Friday do 15 minutes of cardio and this 15 minute workout. On the other four days of the week, do 30 minutes of cardio.

Here are some in-depth videos if you want more information on any of the following subjects:

Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn't have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

For more information on home workouts, please see my free website (no advertising either):

  • Got a playground ...

    Got a playground nearby? A School? These always have places to do pullups. How about a basement with pipes? How about a tree?

  • Cardio is important ...

    Cardio is important for EVERYONE, regardless of bodytype. Check out the American Heart Associations website and their recommendation for daily cardio, there is no exemption for ectomorphs! Second, many people claim they are "skinny" when in fact they have a significant belly, this is not skinny. (not saying this is you by the way) If you can pinch more than an inch of skin over your belly you need to do cardio and watch your nutrition to lose fat. Adding muscle is what the pushup/pullup is 4

  • Stop the supplement ...

    Stop the supplement!!! You are wasting your money and will get fat. 1500cals is WAY too much for a single meal and your body cant deal with 80g protein at one meal. When you consume too much protein at one sitting it can be really hard on your body as it trys to eliminate the excess.

  • Thanks for ...

    Thanks for emphasizing this kaichen1988, you are very correct - jogging puts incredible stresses on the hips, knees, ankles and feet. This is why I recommended walking for exercise in this video. Same for jumprope, really hard on the body if you are overweight.

    With a normal, full pullup, it doesnt matter what you do with your legs as long as they remain motionless. Of course for the assisted pullup I show here you need to step up but try to keep all other motion to a minimum

    You can keep them hanging straight, cross them or bend them slightly. Just don't pull them all the way up.

  • I find ...

    I find skateboarding to be awesome cardio! Since it's cold and snowy where I live during winter, I skate in my basement. After 30-45 minutes of doing stationary tricks I'm exhausted, drenched in sweat, and my heart rate is really high. It's definitely one of the most fun cardio exercises I've done as well!

    HAHAHA having a little trouble with that shirt? Quick question, I'm leaving for basic training in about a month in a half any tips on how to get in really good shape in that amount of time? I'm not too concerned with weight training because at basic training they do not have weights. Thanks!

    I'll tell ya, I'm disabled and cannot do most of these exercises but I still enjoy watching to get ideas on what I can try to do.

    Great inspiration and you have a way of explaining in simple terms what needs to be done.
