All the equipment you need…

…for an A$$ kicking workout can be found in your own home.

Now for some of you out there, you may prefer the gym.

The atmosphere. The sights. The sounds. The smells.

I know I do.

I love the sound of iron clanging against iron. I love the feel of deep knurling ripping into the tender flesh of my palms (yes, I do have soft hands!). I love the look and feel of heavy plates and heavy dumbbells. The grunts and groans of effort (or attention seeking-look at me, look at me!).

I do admit however, the smells I could usually do without. I understand the deep human need to form habits, but seriously, after working out in a certain outfit, WASH IT! I don’t care if you wear the same baby blue T and Addidas shorts ever single day, just make sure you’ve killed the fungus that’s been growing on them.

Okay, now that my rant is over, here’s the point of this whole post.

Not everyone has the luxury of being able to get to the gym as often as I do.

But…

If you can’t get to a gym, you have everything you need at home to get in phenomenal shape.

A while back I talked about the ultimate home workout weight set.

If you didn’t catch that post, you can check it out HERE.

I won’t rehash what’s been hashed (if I can even say that), but I will say that with the proper progression of bodyweight exercises, you can push yourself and achieve amazing results.

Using your body, and perhaps some household items, or even a few pieces of easily purchased equipment, you can create any number of workouts (limited only by your imagination!) that will help you burn body fat, build muscle and get in awesome shape.
