No Exercise Equipment, No Problem!

Most people don't like to think of body-weight training as an effective means to workout. Those people that think that way are very ignorant. For starters, I have seen many tough guys beg for mercy during an arsenal of body-weight circuits. The truth is that you can utilize your body's resistance to obtain massive fitness results.

To begin, I want to talk about a highly effective circuit that you can perform with your own body-weight that will drastically speed up your fat-loss and weight-loss progress. All you will need for this circuit is a flat open space, your own body, and the willingness to work! No equipment, no problem. To start, you are going to perform 5 different exercises totaling 50 repetitions. The objective is to go from one exercise to the next without any rest in between. Once you complete the 5 exercises then you have completed one cycle. The first exercise you will perform will be normal push-ups. Execute 10 and then transition to the next drill. From the push-ups you will want to perform thrusting push-ups. These are executed by you doing a normal push-up and thrusting your knees up underneath your body and then thrusting them back until your body is extended to perform another push-up. You will perform 10 of these and then immediately transition into a series of squat thrusts. From squat thrusts simply start executing burpees for 10 reps. Finally, finish up with executing burpees with a vertical jump at the very end for the final 10 reps. This is 50 total reps of a body-weight circuit that I guarantee will give you a workout! Just make sure that you keep each drill for 10 reps.

Like I said most people don't think of standing body-weight drills as being an effective workout. I dare you to try this circuit for about 3 cycles and then come and tell me that it's not effective! Keep training hard my friends.

Push-Ups - These 2 Variations Will Get You Bigger Gains Much Quicker Than the Traditional Style!

What is the number one rule of strength training? Well, everyone may have different rules, but mine is that you have to intensify what you are doing to always get the results you want. So if you get good at doing something then you have to somehow intensify whatever it is that you are doing in order to make the big gains! Take a look at how you can intensify doing push-ups with these 2 nasty drills.

1. Elevated leg or one-leg push-ups: This variation will quickly add intensity to your push-ups and increase your push up strength. To execute this particular drill you only have to make one simple adjustment. All you have to do is get into a normal upright push-up position. Next, just lift one of your legs off of the floor. Don't cross it over the foot that is still in contact with the floor. Just simply lift it! Execute the desired number of push-ups and then switch legs to do the other side. You will develop much more core and upper-body strength by changing this one aspect of your push-ups.

2. Elevate both legs: This drill is even harder than the first one I talked about. With this drill you will need a little help. All you have to do is find a sturdy elevated flat surface. Something like a chair, bench, or step will do. From here all you need to do is to get into the upright push-up position. Once in position place both feet onto the elevated surface of your choice. Your body is still in the normal upright position with both of your feet elevated. Now much more of your total body weight is distributed to your upper-body immediately intensifying the drill. You will love these! Practice and if you want to make them harder simply continue to elevate your feet.
