bodyweight exercises

Bodyweight exercises are exercises that use your natural bodyweight to offer resistance rather than barbells, dumbbells, or machines. Most bodyweight exercises like pushups and squat thrusts can be performed without any equipment at all, but some exercises need minor items like a pullup bar or dip station.

Bodyweight exercises are the primary tool of conditioning in military bootcamp and have now been adopted by fitness centers and health clubs that offer boot camp workouts that focus on bodyweight exercises as part of the program.

If bodyweight exercises are something that may fit your lifestyle you can learn more about how to incorporate them into a routine at the Street Workout Blog bringing you a no-nonsense approach to working out inside and outside the gym for fitness, muscle building, and fast permanent weight loss.

I walked in, did a quick bodyweight ...

    Yesterday, I had a great Deadlift workout.  If you do the Deadlift right, you’re sweating halfway through one set.  Either that or I’m getting old.  Anyway, unless I’m in a hurry, I like to superset a Deadlift with an “easier” exercise so I’m not so winded for the “bang-for-your-buck” exercise ...
