How to make weights for free?

Some people have problems finding weights to workout with however there are easy ways to deal with this problem and most won't cost you a penny/baht.

The first solution I want to discuss is by using a simple bucket either filled with rocks or cement blocks and a rope.  Below I have listed five types of exercises that you are able to perform with this equipment.

• Curls
• Shoulder Pull-ups
• Shoulder Presses (with rope)
• Punch Press (with rope)
• Pull Downs (with rope)

The second solution to this problem is by making dumbbells.  For one dumbbell you are going to need (2) two liter soda bottles, mixed cement and a stick about 2 feet long.  To make your dumbbell you have to make each weight separately.

1. Cut the 2 liter soda bottle in half.
2. Take one of the bottom ends of the soda bottle that you cut and fill it up with cement.
3. Dip the stick in the middle and let the cement harden.  (Dry Completely)
4. After the first cement in the weight hardens completely take the other bottom end of the soda bottle and fill it with cement.
5. Now take the other end of the stick and put it in the center of the bottle.  (Let cement dry completely) 

If you want two dumbbells then repeat this process.  Below I have listed 5 types of exercises you can do with dumbbells.

• Curls
• Butterfly Press
• Overhead Press
• Butterfly Pulls (Back)
• Shoulder Pull

These two simple solutions will provide you with the proper equipment to increase your fitness goals.  When working out with weight I suggest you workout every other day to give your muscles time to heal.  Remember that muscle growth doesn't come from working out which tears down the muscles but resting which heals the torn muscles and allows them to grow.

With any type of weight gaining exercises I usually like to add cardiovascular exercises as well.  Since I'm a huge fan of boxing I like to warm down my workouts by training on my punching bag.  If you can't find enough time to go to the gym then do what I do and work your own at home.  For a cheap and easy way to start your boxing exercises visit:  http://myweave.blogspot.com
