Too many excuses, people often complain about how they don’t have time to go to the gym or trained only once or twice last week because they couldn’t get to the gym on time. There are many routines that you can do at home with nothing more than your own body weight and light dumbbells.
I ‘m going to take the home training concept one step further. Here’s a workout that doesn’t require a health club or equipment. But after you finished it, you’ll absolutely feel like you just got home from the gym.

Pushing muscles Workout Sample #1

Perform the following exercises circuit-style, meaning you do set of one exercise, then move to the next without resting. Go through the circuit 3 to 6 times, depending on your fitness level. While this continuous training will enhance your cardiovascular system (heart and lungs) at the same time while burning fat and toning your muscles.

After warming up with light to medium stretching start with the first exercise one day and then change the order on the next workout.

Chair push-ups.
Sets of 20-50reps or to failure (whichever comes first). For beginners regular push-ups will do. For more advance exerciser place you feet on a chair and then the next set, switch your feet and hand positions to stimulate the chest, shoulder and triceps from different angles.

Pike push-ups.
Sets of 10 to 20 reps or to failure. Place your feet on the chair again this time position your upper body in a handstand position (your hands on the floor, arms extended vertically in line with your torso). Lower yourself by flexing your elbows until the top of your head comes near the floor then push your body back up. Note people who have been training for a while should only do these, beginners or people with shoulder problems should avoid this movement.

Side-squats.
Sets of 15 to 30 reps per leg. Since there is no restance used during this movement you can perform higher reps to make them more difficult. For balance you can hold onto a chair in front of yourself as you bend from one side to the next. Squat down as far as you can before switching to the other side.

One–legged Squat.
Sets of 15 to 25 reps per leg. Again you can hold onto a chair for balance.

Dips
Sets of 15 to 25 reps or to failure. Find two solid chairs or table and put your feet on one and your hands just behind your lower back on the other. Dip down until your elbows are past 90 degrees, and then push yourself back up.

Here are five movements to get you started. You can do a circuit of abs at the end of your workout or the beginning to burn more calories .
