Skip the gym! Beat the New Years Warriors
Your gym will be packed for three weeks, and you don’t want to be there. It happens every January like clock-work as America resolves to get on the straight-and-narrow, quit drinking turpentine, and lose 50 pounds. The New Years warriors break out their sweatpants and hit the elliptical like there’s no tomorrow.
You, however, deserve to work out in peace - in fact, you deserve to work out in the comfort of your own home. For free. With ZERO equipment. And I’m here to show you how.
Thanks to gravity, we’re carrying around all the equipment we need - our own bodies. There is a new type of workout, perhaps also an ancient one, called a bodyweight workout, that uses your body to provide you with an excellent base for resistance training.
You’ve heard of pushups, situps, and pullups - here are some more ways to get the most out of your, well, yourself!

Great post. Looks like it’s easier to do than going to the gym, and something that I’m going to try.
Extra tidbit of information:
I found this http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/5-exercises-computer-guy-should-not-be-doing.html in my del.icio.us posts. As a computer guy, I’ll avoid these.
