10 In-Home Body Weight Exercises for Amazing Results!

GET LEANSCULAR! – Lean and muscular at home!

By Linzi Martinez

Body weight can even be more effective than any weights or any machines! When training with your own bodyweight you tend to lift more weight than you would with free weights and even better, this type of training always utilizes more than one muscle group at a time meaning that you get a much more effective and intense workout in less time! Add weights for the super challenge when ready and BOOM you’re on the fast track to shredding!
