Can you build muscle without weights in the comfort of your own home? Yes, but some people will still go to an expensive gym and train with weights. If you know the physics of using your body’s own force and weight, you can save a lot of time and money! And think of the convenience of doing it anytime and place that is the most convenient for you.

Here are some tips to get you started if you want to build muscle without weights and going to the gym.

1. The more that you lengthen your body, the harder it will be for you to move. It is very simple to apply this resistance technique. Raise your hands above your head or way out to your side when doing crunches, squats, or lunges.
2. The farther you move your body, the harder you make your muscles work and the stronger they will become. So for example, while doing pushups move your hands and feet farther from the floor by placing them on an elevated surface such as a step or book. Another example would be to rise and lower to the full extent, very slowly, while doing situps.
3. Pause between movements as you do exercises. This causes your muscles to work harder. A 4 second pause would not be too long.
4. Add rotation to your routine. By simply rotating the torso when doing a pushup, lunge, or crunch, you will work more muscles and work them harder.
5. When doing lunges, squats, and dead lifts try using only one foot. This will cause your body to work harder to stabilize, and you will get more benefit. This will cause your body to gain more strength than if you did the same exercise on two feet.
6. Two hours before you start your routine, eat a combination of carbohydrates and protein.
7. After the completion of your routine, drink your protein mixture and maybe some whey powder in a drink or skimmed milk.

Well, there you have it. Seven simple tips to help you buid muscle without weights. Sometimes things are just as simple as concentrating on the EXACT correct movements.
