Most of us want to stay in shape and build muscle. Some of us just want it more than others. Many of us want to build muscle but don't have the time, or maybe you have the time but you don't necessarily feel like going to a gym and having to pay for the experience of building muscle.

Don't worry. You can keep your money, get in shape and build muscle. And you never leave your home.

I'm going to break it down real easy for you. This is a great workout for men and women. It works the respective body parts you hold near and dear to your heart. These exercises will keep you toned and will build muscle.

Before we begin, let me give you a quick over-view: If you're a guy -- what do really want? Be honest now:

- Solid arms

- Bigger or broader chest

- Flat stomach

- Stronger legs and a rear end that doesn't drag behind you like an Irish Setter looking for a bone.

So much for the men. How about if you're a woman? You probably wouldn't mind:

- Solid arms

- Breast that are firm and don't sag

- Flat stomach

- Stronger legs (especially upper legs) and a butt that doesn't.....well if you read what I wrote above regarding guys than there's no need in me repeating it!

IS it me or am I noticing a trend here? I'm going to turn you on to a set of exercises that -- if you do them consistently and remain committed -- you will see a transformation in your body. This is no magic formula. You need to couple this with an attempt at eating right and following a smart diet. But if you can do that than with only about a 20-25 minute commitment a day you will see some serious changes!

O-k let's start! Let's first talk about arms and chest. You can do a simple exercise that will work both and you will feel the results immediately:

I ALSO HAVE DIABETES AND AM HAVING TROUBLE GAINING MASS. WITH THE DIABETES AND EXTREMELY FAST METABOLISM IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PUT ON ANY WEIGHT AT ALL. EVEN WHEN I WAS ON A 5000 CAL DIET AND DRINKING PROTIEN SHAKES
