Other Types of Exercises

There are exercises you can do that do not involve weights. You can still gain muscle mass and lose fat. These exercises include swimming, mountain biking, indoor or outdoor rock climbing, rope climbing, and rope skipping.

1. Swimming: If you want a great full body workout, why not go swimming. It tresses the muscles and joints. It also helps to increase your endurance. Many swimmers do the sprint style where they swim as hard as they can to the other side of the pool. If you are in a pool, you can do this. You can use different kinds of stroke styles like crawl, breaststroke, sidestroke, backstroke and butterfly.

2. Mountain biking: If you like riding a bike, and like doing a highly variable intensity exercise that uses bursts of energy, mountain biking does it. You don’t need a large mountain, even a hill will do. This is a great exercise because you get the leg pumping, exerting a lot of energy trying to get that bike up hill. I have tried it and get a big thrill every time.

3. Climbing Rocks: This is a great way to get a lot of exercise. It involves your legs, arms, shoulders, and your entire back. Rock climbing also helps to improve your grip strength and forearms.

4. Climbing a Rope: This is like rock climbing, except you only have a rope. If you use a rope to climb with, make sure the rope is very secure. You wouldn’t want to get to the top and have the rope come loose on you. Rope climbing is one great way to build a powerful and ripped upper body.

5. Skip Rope: Did you ever skip rope when you were a kid. Usually girls did that. But now, you see men do it as well. It is a great way to warm up before you start
your workouts.

6. Jump the Steps: No one knows this exercise. I saw a wrestler doing this one time. What you do is get a hold of a portable step.



In the image you will see what portable steps look like. What this wrestler did was jump up on the first step and then jump off down to the floor. He then jumped onto the second step and then jumped to the floor. He jumped onto the top step and then
jumped back down onto the floor. Do this yourself. If you can’t afford portable steps, find a gym that has one, or go to a manufacturing facility in town and ask if you can borrow one.

When you do this, do five jumps per step ten times. When you do ten rounds, take a break, stretch your legs, and take a 5 minute rest. After you have rested, go back and do 10 more.
