question lang for exercises like these, pull ups, push ups etc kana mura kag naa sa army... will it increases muscle mass (like machines) or pang toning lang na? kai wa man gud koi machine n gamay ra ko dumbell... i thnk nice alternative ni.. thanks!

tigpush-up sad ko pero mura man ug di maka-increase ug muscle mass.. maka-tone lang sa arm muscles, deltoids, shoulder area.. nya feel nako na-toned sad ako tiyan. when it comes to pull-ups, though, that's hard.. i don't have the upperbody strength that gymnasts have. kutob ra ko's magbitaybitay sa bars hehehe swing-swing ba mura ko'g unggoy

actually dumbells are not so expensive... i bought 2 dumbells + 4 5lbs. for less than a Php1000.. and i'm planing to add 4 10lbs.(Php510) and proably a month or two i'll buy another 4 5lbs.(200++)...

depending on your workout & determination you can get the body you want.

the downside of 'weightless' exercise is that eventually the body will get used to the training and thus making it less effective...
