As with every exercise, you will gain a minimum amount of strength with this workout but it stresses more muscle endurance and toning rather than strengthening. A home workout I do since I have no gym membership.

Thought I'd share this with you guys and give me some feedback if you decide to try it.
Like it? Not like it? Any comments? Suggestions? I'm all ears

Vital that you stretch your whole body before every and any workout. Do so.

-Push-ups: Failure (until you can't do it anymore)

-Shoulder Hold: 2 minutes
*Hold your arms at a 90 degree angle so you show your wingspan so to speak

-Decline Push-ups: Failure
*Have your feet rested higher than ground level, keep your back straight

-Wide Push-ups: Failure
*Just widen your hand placement

-Side Tricep Rise: Failure each arm
*Lay flat on your side. Hold your shoulder with the hand that's ground level. The free hand goes underneath your shoulder on the ground isolating your tricep

-Diamond Push-ups: Failure
*Hands in a diamond shape

-Bicep Hold: 10 sec on, 10 sec off for 1 minute
*Hold your arms at a 90 degree angle in front of you. Place your hands under an immovable object and flex

-Chair Dips: Failure
*Face as if you're about to sit on the chair. Hold your arms at a 90 degree angle behind you supporting yourself on the chair, legs straight out. Your bum should not touch the ground

BREAK 1 MINUTE

-Wall Squats: 10 sec on, 10 sec off for 1 minute
*Simply hold yourself against the wall as if you were sitting. Legs bent at 90 degrees

-Chin-up: Failure

-One Legged Wall Squats: 10 sec o, 10 sec off for 1 minute

-Superman: 20 reps
*Lay on your stomach. Legs and arms extended. Raise all 4 limbs and hold for 2 secs.

-Calf Raises: Failure

-Lunges: 1 minute

BREAK 1 MINUTE

-Abs:
25 crunches with feet on the ground
25 crunches with legs crossed at a 90 degree angle off the ground
25 crunches legs extended in the air (better if you just hold them against the wall)
REPEAT BACKWARDS
25 oblique crunches each side = lay on your side, turn your abdomen and crunch
Get in push-up position but hold yourself by your elbows for 1 minute

Thanks for participating friends.

Thanks for this. I've been trying to find excersize routines to help me gain more strength and become somewhat more fit. I tried out your routine and I am extreemly satisfied. Thanks!

seeron : I'm glad you like it man! Thanks for trying it out!

lolz thats a lot of working out.

I'm starting to get some flab in my legs and abs so this might help me out. I'll be sure to try it out tommorow, and post my results.

Thanks for posting this! btw, did you come up with this or did someone else?

the_casualty : wall squats should help with the flab, at least strengthening.

this is the workout my team does since not everyone has a gym membership. my coach came up with it.

I don't have time to try it out now, but I might forward it to my karate/kickboxing instructor after I try it later.

Just what the doctor recommended . I tried it and saw some great results with this routine . This help me stick with my resolution

I'm really glad you all like it! Thanks for trying it out!

Ooh thanks for this. I get tired too quickly. I'd like to try this out because endurance is always my number one priority when it comes to exercise. I was going to run up the side of a hill for an hour but do you know how far the closest hill is? I'd get tired from getting there. Much oblige for this.

NotJon :
If you can find time to practice competitive swimming strokes, that could probably help a lot with endurance.

BNuge : I can't swim. I am also deathly afraid of the water.

Will try it out, I have lost 56 lbs so far and still need to get that last layer off my body.

I will definitely try this when I am out of my gym membership. Thanks for posting. I do like to stay in shape, though I'm mostly concerned with keeping body fat % low for my abdomen, a lil fat there...
