Stretching

The weightless workout concept is a relatively new one in modern bodybuilding, but it is one that has gained a lot of stream because of the fact that a lot of the recent research that has been done in this area has ended up pointing to the fact that the weightless workout seems to be the one that has the most results. It is also a workout form that does not require the purchase of a gym membership or any other particular tools (hence the term weightless) and for that reason is very popular amongst people that have just started into their weight loss regimes.

The basic idea behind this particular workout is that you are going to use isometric contractions within your body at maximum intensity in order to overload the muscles. Only exertions that stretch the maximum limits of what your muscles can do have the ability to expand them. If you choose something where you can do 20 reps, all you are doing is tiring your muscles out rather than expanding their abilities. One or two intense repetitions are a much better way of doing things and this is what isometrics (i.e. the weightless workout) are all about.
