Building muscle without weights would require you to workout using other forms of resistance exercises or intensify your aerobic workouts. These types of workouts can be performed at home without the help of any fitness instructors and other machines or equipments. Read the following exercises and determine for yourself if you can just do these exercises at home or if you really need to sign up for a gym membership.

Note: exercising isn't the only aspect in muscle building as you have to monitor what you eat too. Check out an excellent guide to healthy eating while building muscle at weight gain meal plan.

Pull-ups - Pull-ups is the best exercise to build your back and all those muscles on your arm area. Make use of a doorway pull-up bar or anything in your home that you think you can hang from. If you cannot perform one rep with the use of a correct pull-up technique, then make use of momentum by asking someone to help you or make use of a resistance band to assist you on your way up.

Push-ups - Push-ups is one of the best kind of exercise for building muscle without weights. All you need is to make use of a full-range motion when you perform this exercise, by locking up your arms while going all the way up and then pressing your nose against the floor when you go down. If you think you can't perform such intense exercise, then be contented with doing regular push-ups, or you may kneel on the floor and switching to a regular push-up position if you think you can handle such intense exercise.

Squats - This exercise helps to build the muscles on your leg area. Perform this by putting your hands behind your head and then carefully bend through your knees. Always keep your heels flatten on the floor, while you push your knees out and at the same time, squeezing your glutes all the way up.

You see, all these exercises are just easy to perform, for as long as you've got a good place where there is a flat surface, because these types of exercises cannot be done uphill. But doing these exercises alone will not guarantee that you have really done it the right way. But if you want a better result, you better sign up for a gym membership in your area, because fitness instructors in the gym could assess if you are doing your exercise right or not.

Always remember that in order for your body to build muscles, it should be stressed out to the limit. Therefore, put a challenge to yourself by putting more weights on your exercise training.
