    Non weight training

    My car is not in running condition right now so I cant get to the gym. What are some chest workouts I can do at home until I get back to the gym?
    What are muscle workouts that dont involve weights called?

    I call them pushups ....other then that its hard to do much without weights how long till the beat is runnin again, if the gym isnt that far you could go for a jogging warmup to get there

    If you have a partner you can perform maunal resistance exercises such as manual flyes, bench press and push ups that require just a bench or a platform to lie on.

    You could do flies, push-ups, dips, umm... that's all I can think of.

    Like said above, if you're close enough, jog or ride a bike to the gym. What about taking the bus? Or hitch-hiking

    Check out, "Death by Bodyweight" by Ian King. Do a google search or go to t - nation . com. He gives you a full body workout when you do not have access to weights.

    Do normal push ups.
    Wide arm push ups.
    Then make your thumbs and fingers make a triangle on the floor. Close armed push up.

    Anyway running to the gym will be good for cardio and also fat burning.
