what's up then exactly it's it's Chris area welcome to another steemit blog today I'm gonna be showing you how to replace the exercises you're doing at the gym with ones that you can do from home with just your body weight let's get started now whether you're stuck at home right now or can't make it to the gym that shouldn't be an excuse to not get a solid workout I do a lot of my workouts from home and the reality is you don't need a lot of equipment or space to build strength and muscle and the majority of the exercises that you're doing at the gym can actually be replicated or even replaced with body weight exercises that use the same movement path and activate the same muscles and you might find that these body weight exercises give you even more of a challenge than the ones that you're doing at the gym and that's because with body weight exercises you need to engage more muscles to complete the exercise because most body weight exercises are compound movements which means more muscle activation and stabilization because you're not just sitting down but trying to actually stabilize your own body's weight to perform each rep if using machines in the gym a lot of the stabilization is taken out the machinesdo it for you even the range of motion is restricted so today I'm going to show you how to replace the exercises that you're doing at the gym with body weight exercises that you can do at home and I'm going to show you how to do these exercises explosive so we can replicate the overload of using weights so let's get started remember to get this workout on should find this routine now we're gonna go through every single muscle group the first muscle group we're gonna go for it is shoulders now in training shoulders at the gym one of the most common exercises is military press you can see it being done with dumbbells barbells and even machines we're gonna replicate that same movement and muscle activation with elevated pipe push-ups let's go for 15 you want to get an elevated surface put your feet on top and get into a pipe position and you're gonna put your head down from the crown of your head straight to the ground the higher the surface the more body weight you're applying to this exercise so find an elevation that challenges you and start from there if doing this exercise with your feet elevated is already too hard start at Pike push-ups now to replicate the overload of weights you can push as hard as you can on the concentric and then really control and work the negative you don't have to explode off the ground but give it a maximum effort every single rep alright though we have elevated Pike push-ups while doing this exercise it's important that you maintain perfect form you want to keep your core tight legs straight and your back straight as well and if you elevate your hands even higher on a stack of books for example you can increase your range of motion and go deeper on this movement now the next muscle group we'r gonna move into it's gonna be legs and we train your legs at the gym one of the most common exercises you're gonna see our squats you can see it being done with the Machine barbell or dumbbells and because legs are such a big muscle group it requires a heavier overload at the gym it's being done by increasing weight and the way we're gonna do it at home is by using pistol squats with pistol squats we're shifting our entire body weight onto one leg and squatting with one and set it to and while I'm squatting my body weight with one leg I have to balance and control my body
