To gain the most amount of muscular strength, i am a firm believer that training with heavy weights is the best way to achieve it. Pushing or pulling a resistance (eg weights) creates a whole lot of strength, fast. But sometimes a well equipped weight training gym is not available. When this is the case, training using your own body weight with exercises such as press ups, chin ups, one legged squats etc are an alternative to weights. A very efficient way of performing these exercises to to do them slowly. When doing press ups for example, from the starting position take about 4 -10 seconds for your chest to reach the floor and the same when returning back to the starting position. It has been found that great benefits can be achieved when training in this manner, and more strength can be obtained than when doing the exercises at normal speed.

Thanks for the nice advice. The benefits of a good workout are well-known and numerous. However, for many of us who want to maintain their body weight exercise doesn’t always seem to work very well. I'll surely try this exercise.
