What is a good strength-training program that I can do without free weights or machines?
If you don’t want to use free weights or machines for your strength training, I highly suggest you look into purchasing some resistance bands. Basically, these bands come in various levels or resistance (light, medium and heavy) or sometimes in levels (1, 2 or 3). For men, level two to three or medium-heavy is better, although level one or light resistance bands are good for rehabilitation exercises. When determining which band is best, consider your present level of fitness, as well as, your physical strength. Once you’ve decided on your band, you need to purchase either a DVD, VCR tape or a book that shows you how to properly use the band, or talk to a personal trainer. Add some core exercises and maybe a few other body weight exercises to your program and you’ll be good to go.
