Good topic! Body weight training is all I do really. Most of the time when I work out its usually running around the track at the arc, push ups, sit ups, crunches, and other core and arm exercises. If I want to add a little more resistance to my workout I get some dumbbells or a medicine ball. I like the different suggestions for exercises too. I'm not a fan of burpies but I'll try the plyo push ups in my next workout.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post! When i'm in a hurry and need to workout and don't have time to go to the gym I always do body weight training exercises. Its very effective and most people don't even realize it. This topic needs to be advocated more because it really does show great results!
ReplyDeleteNice blog! When I workout sometimes I like to take my time. I don't like to rush, unless it's like a superset. But those days I do have to rush I like to use body weight training. It helps to get a few exercise out of the way. Also a different style of exercise that I don't get to use often.
