How to Start Workout at Home

There are many reasons why people do not work out, being they are scared to go to the gym, they are too busy during the day, or even they do not believe that have a big enough space at home to fulfill all of their workout needs.  However, I am here to tell you that there is not a huge need to go to the gym, you do not need hours to work out, and you do not need a humungous space filled with machines and all of that extra stuff.  In order to start working out, you need two things:
  1. Your body weight
  2. A willpower to keep doing the simple things I am going to tell you
To start working out at home, all you need to do is push-ups, sit-ups, and cardio.  Yes, this is only the start and you will probably need some equipment in the future, but right now we are only focused on how to get started.  This is the same exact way that I started and I will tell you how I did it.  The first thing that I did was before every shower I took I either did 30 push-ups, 30 sit-ups, or a combination of both.  As well as that, when I was watching tv or playing video games I would do push-ups during the commercial breaks or when I was not playing.  

The next thing you should do along with push-ups and sit-ups is get cardio in.  This can either be a short run, a bike ride, or even just a walk.  The key to this, however, is not to get lazy with yourself.  Each day you should be adding the distance or the number of push-ups you do.  

There are a few tips that I would like to give before I end this post
  1. Set a goal for yourself each week
  2. Anything is a starting point even if it is just ten push-ups a day
  3. Try to accomplish more than you did the day before

When should I do cardio?

 One thing that I have never agreed with when it comes to the fitness "experts" is when you should do your cardio workout.  Many of them say that you should do your strength or weight training and then perform your cardio workout.  However, I have done both cardio before weights and cardio after weights and I feel that one is a lot better than the other.  I am easily on the side of waking up in the morning going outside and getting a nice jog in.  I noticed when I performed cardio first, that I felt more energized during my strength training and I also felt more awake.  If I just started doing strength training, I felt myself being tired and losing focus easily.  As well as that, when I performed my cardio first, I thought of it as a way to stretch out my entire body.  It loosens you up and you will feel a lot more ready for whatever else you have planned for the day.   So basically, I am saying that I completely disagree with the people...

Charlie Hunnam or better known as King Arthur

 There is a huge misconception in the world that the actors we see on TV or in movies are the way they look because they have access to better gyms, trainers, and diets than we do.  I think a great example of how this misconception is wrong is by looking at the actor Charlie Hunnam.  If you do not know who this is, he is probably best known for being King Arthur in King Arthur Legend of the Sword  and also Jax Teller in Sons of Anarchy.  The reason why I am bringing him up is that he does not have a trainer or use the fanciest weights.  He said in multiple interviews that he works out by body weight.  Some of the things that he does are: push-ups sit-ups squats planks  wall sits dips twenty minutes of cardio These are all workouts that don't require a gym.  Now I want you to get a mental image of what you think he looks like, after you have done that just use a quick google search and look for him.  He is a perfect example of what can be...

About Muscleman

 Hello, I am Muscleman and I am writing this blog to help people get started on their fitness journey.  I am a 21-year-old college student.  I am writing this blog because I know that going to a public gym can be daunting for the first time and many people want to work out in the privacy of their own homes.  Also, you might just have no idea where to start.  I would spend hours searching and reading tons of different articles and still feel like I didn't know where to start.  So this blog will be the place where you can get all that information in one place.  Whether you need to find out about a workout plan, or just some exercises or workouts to get you started.  I plan to cover everything from what time I felt was most beneficial for me to work out to different types of exercises that worked for me.  This is my first time writing a blog so it might not be the best at the start but I am willing to listen to any suggestions.  I just like...
