Workouts Using No Equipment!

[mothball]

Hi guys,

I'm not into hardcore training but i like to keep fit. I want to workout my stomach, arms and chest area, my problem is i go abroad quite often so i prefer doing stuff which i can do anywhere such as press-ups (for the arms) and sit-ups (stomach) and stuff which i can do without having to use any equipment. I was wondering what else i could do for my arms, stomach and chest?

I would like to strengthen my forearms and i heard someone on this forum mention a technique where u stretch ur arms out as wide as u can then make a fist really tight then stretch them out again and do this about 50 times. Will this help for my arms?

Also, i've heard that u shouldn't workout more than 3-4 times a week...why not? Isn't it better if u do more?

Thanks!

PS: I use squats for my legs which i have found very effective so i'm ok in that area.

I suggest a training band, you can get different tension ones and they are very portable, have a search around the internet for one. More is not better in the bodybuilding world, your muscle need time to recover after your workouts to put it simply. For your forearms, you can use litre bottles of water etc, and basically just hold your arms out this will burn your arms and eventually forearms out. Also if you can get hold of a pair of grippers, they are very small and can be taken abroad, what I find good for grip and forearm stength is dont use them to grip and then let go, squeeze them and keep them closed for as long as you can, increasing the time each workout by a couple of seconds.

This might give you some ideas: http://www.sandowplus.co.uk/Competit...I/herc2-01.htm For forearms, put a towel on the floor (flat) with a heavy book on one end. Pick up the end of the towel and using only your fingers, bring the towel towards you. Good forearm workout.
