The Army, Navy SEALS and Special Forces have been doing this for YEARS!
Somewhere along the line the gyms forgot how important it was to teach people how to use their own weight to get amazing results when it comes to strength, over-all fitness, weight loss and general health.
It might have been something to do with selling memberships and having you believe that you need a gym to get fit!
Fortunately someone let the secret out - and now bodyweight training and functional fitness are back ... this time lets make sure it's for good.
Military and Commando Units have used bodyweight conditioning since time began to keep troops physically (and mentally) prepared wherever they are in the world.
This Tactical approach to personal fitness keeps their body functional, injury free and ready for action 24 hours a day.
With an obesity endemic in our countries ... it's about time we had a better, more practical and realistic way to lose weight, get in shape and have a healthy body.
Bodyweight Mini-Workouts
Mini-workouts are exactly that ... short easy routines you squeeze in throughout the day.
You don't have time to go to the gym, you anticipate a busy day ahead or the kids just won't give you a break.
As soon as you wake up try busting out a few press-ups, squats or chin-ups. They're quiet and won't wake the family, great conditioners and (first thing in the morning) a great way to clear your head and get a quick release of endorphins and adrenalin.
All you need is a small repetoire of exercises to choose from and you're ready to go.
You could do a short mini-workout every hour (drop and do 10 press ups), every time you let the dog out (do 50 squats) or just as and when you feel fit.
For years I've wanted to be able to do pistol squats (one legged squats) ... and when you can only do one it's not a great workout.
Thanks to mini-workouts I fit in a few pistol squats throughout the day and already can start doing them for reps - saving my longer workouts for something even more strenuous!
