NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 12/24/12 -- Gym memberships, workout apparel, shoes, at-home exercise videos, weights, machines, and other products are seen by many as necessities to a well-rounded weight loss strategy. But the truth is that, with body weight training, individuals can forgo the expenses associated with weight loss and still lose excess pounds. Hydroxycut in response to an article posted by TIME, showcases how body weight training is breaking the economic barriers that have stood between weight loss and individuals with limited financial means.

According to the article, body weight training utilizes the natural resistance that the body provides during crunches, push-ups, and other standard exercise moves. By incorporating everyday objects, such as tables and counters, into their routines, individuals can improve the resistance of their workout by changing the angles at which they move.

The national director of certification for the American College of Sports Medicine asserts: "We used to have only two variations of a push-up. The standard, straight body push-up as well as what was called 'girls' push-ups.' Now, we have an extreme variety of no-cost exercises that work. Look at the heights of different common things out in the world like a table, a chair, the ground, a tree, the kitchen counter. Years ago these were not even considered during training. In fact, the 'girls' push-up' has largely gone away because you can do more effective push-ups with less resistance from a table top instead of going from your knees."

The makers of Hydroxycut comment: "Unfortunately, many people who want to lose weight do not have the financial resources to access a personal trainer, gym membership, and other equipment and services. This is a factor that keeps many individuals from achieving their weight loss goals. But the truth is that weight loss can be achieved without the assistance of these resources -- and body weight training along with cardiovascular activities and a healthy diet showcases this. Because body weight training utilizes the resistance of the body's own mass, rather than the resistance created by workout equipment, many people can perform exercises of this kind. Additionally, the freedom that accompanies this type of workout is vast, as it can be performed at home, on a hike, or even during a break at the office."
