Bodyweight Workouts

Each project comes with a set of short, high intensity bodyweight workouts.  These can be completed anywhere you have enough room to lie down or stand up…..No excuses and no equipment necessary. Just you, your body and a mindset that will work at a high intensity for a short period of time (6 – 20minutes).

Bodyweight training does it all.....but only if you want to see improvements in strength, muscle tone, balance, endurance, speed, power, agility, flexibility, muscular imbalance corrections & alignments, and any other physiological improvements that are possible through physical movement.

Each bodyweight exercise has progressions from the beginner to the more advanced. The adaptations that are made are at your pace and your body's capabilities. When I first started this type of training in early 2010, having only previously experimented with gym-type weighted programs, I could not complete 10 full push ups without a struggle. Now, I can proudly say I am able to complete one arm push ups, divebombers and other advanced versions, all progressions of the classic push up.

Your progression is dependent upon you, your efforts and your consistency. Only you can make the changes and the choice to start.
