As you move forward in your journey to “Live Your Fit” everyday, I felt it would be best to leave you with three benefits of bodyweight training AND one last workout for the road. So, don’t be scared and get put some bodyweight training in your life! Ok?
“Most exercises are compound exercises, which are widely considered to favour muscle growth far quicker than isolation exercises.”
“While weight lifting may have a very slight advantage over bodyweight training - in the sense that progression is smoother - bodyweight training makes up for it with its greater variety, and balance, agility, and flexibility gains.”
“Bodyweight exercises are extremely convenient and effective. You don’t need any equipment or gym subscription, since you’ll be using your own body as your resistance.”
Suspended Knee-Nose Crunch
This exercise focuses on the core, arms and legs.
Start on hands and knees
Place one foot in each strap with shoe laces facing down
Keep the hands under the shoulders
Engage the core and lift to an extended plank position
Squeeze the glutes and abdominal muscles to prevent lower back from dipping
Pull one knee into the nose and round the upper back while exhaling
Extended the leg back and straighten the body so you are back to your starting point
Repeat on the other leg
Complete 12-20 reps alternating knees for 3 sets
In the meantime, make sure you incorporate those Suspended Superman with Hip Extensions and Suspended Pistol Squat with Low Rows into your routine and I promise you, you will feel the burn - in the best way.
