You don’t need an expensive gym to get into better shape but you do need some knowledge and imagination. A good Pilate’s DVD is a great way to work your core in your living room. I like to use a local park for working out besides the multiple types of pushups and situps you can do at home it usually adds a pulling exercise with the monkey bars so you can hit your back. Add some lunges and squats plus cardio and we have covered a total body workout without buying a gym membership.
Tens weeks is cutting it close…..it usually takes about 3 months to start seeing a change in your body…..For a “no weight” workout, the old standbys still work pretty good…of course I’m referring to pushups, chins (pullups), dips, sittups and, for the legs, duckwalking and running or biking. Pushups can be done anywhere. For pullups you’ll need a chinning bar or a bar set into a door frame. Dips can be done with 2 chairs back-to-back. Duckwalking is getting into a baseball catcher’s crouch and then walking on your toes (this is tough, but great for the legs.) Do as many reps as you can, rest a minute or two, then another set..3 sets each exercise. Limit yourself to 5 days out of the week…don’t exercise every day……get to the health food store and stock up on some supplements…(Protein..amino acids….arginine…ornithine)…..a good intense workout will “pump you up” immediately before you hit the beach…..and it’ll usually last about an hour….also, if you can get to a tanning booth before you go……, that always makes you look good………..good luck!!
