Life Without Boring Machines and Cardio…get Strong, Fit and Lean with Bodyweight Exercises and Other Good Stuff

What do you think is the best way to do your bodyweight training?
What’s the best way to train? How long should I exercise for?
Should I rest between exercises or should I jump from one to
the other?
Should I stick to a routine, do sets or workout on the fly?
For me that was a question I always [...]

Welcome back to my first 15 months body weight training!
Wow! In 15 months of  practicing bodyweight training  you can certainly achieve
some pretty spectacular results. And I’m talking strength, fitness and fat loss!

Listen up…if you are serious about developing real strength, you know, like raw animal strength-think monkeys and apes then you better include in your repertoire some exercises that imitate them.

A little while back I had the privilege of interviewing  Robert Martin from Looking Great Naked at Any Age
Robert’s credentials read like a who’s who. He’s one of those high achiever types who put us mere mortals to shame. He’s likable  too and  he’s got a pretty good system for getting fit at any age,  [...]

Rope climbing is great for you as long as you don’t fall…I have a big lesson for you today.
My message is please be very careful which rope you climb.  Check it’s safe and secure and whatever it’s attached to can bear up under your weight.
