No biggie either way. -------------- Be patient, persistent and strong and you will succeed.

Or you can use your body weight..ex: push-ups(chest), dips(triceps) leg lunges (legs,glutes) ..you just need to use the resources available to you..snd remember doing something is better than nothing..good luck!!
