If you want to transform your body (burn fat and build lean muscle) with workouts without weights, you have come to the right source.

Regardless of what many people think or have been told, it is possible to build a lean, strong, sexy body using nothing but your bodyweight. In fact, many of the best physiques I have ever seen were built using nothing but bodyweight exercises.

So if you want to transform your body at a fast pace, then all you have to do is apply some important tips for your workouts without weights.

Workout Tip Number One
Use the best bodyweight exercises. To be honest, this is where most people mess up. They think the only exercises they can do are bodyweight squats, push-ups, and sit-ups. That's simply not true. There are dozens of bodyweight exercises you can do.

The best bodyweight exercises to use are big, compound movements that recruit a lot of muscle. These exercises and their many variations are the best ones to use to transform your body: squats, lunges, deadlifts, jumps, push-ups, parallel bar dips, chin-ups, inverted rows and other movements such as bear crawls, crab walks, wheelbarrow walks, burpees, and sprints.

If you focus your efforts on those exercises and their many variations, you will definitely burn off pounds of body fat and build lean, sexy muscle.

Workout Tip Number Two
Perform your workouts in circuit fashion. To perform a circuit you will complete a set for each exercise before repeating the first exercise again. The reason training with circuits is so effective is because it causes you to burn a ton of calories and you'll have your metabolism on full blast for up to 36 hours after the workout is finished. Not to mention, training with circuits allows you to complete your workout in minimum time.

Sample Workout Without Weights #1

Broad Jumps x 10
Grasshopper Push-ups x 10 -20
Inverted Rows x 10 - 20
Burpees x 10 - 20

Perform each exercise back-to-back and complete as many circuits as possible in 15-30 minutes.

Sample Workout Without Weights #2

One Leg Squat x 5 - 10
Parallel Bar Dips of Close Grip Push-ups x as many as possible
Chin-ups x as many as possible
Crab Walks x 20 - 100 yards

Once again, complete each exercise back-to-back and complete as many circuits as possible in 15-30 minutes.

Sample Workout Without Weights #3

Spiderman Push-ups x as many as possible
Inverted Row or Pull-ups x as many as possible
Hill Sprint (it doesn't matter if the hill is 20 yards or 100 -- just sprint)

Once again, perform the exercises back-to-back and complete as many circuits as possible in 15-30 minutes.

If you give those sample workouts 100 percent, you will be well on your way to burning fat and transforming your body.
