Exercises

  • Choose a level from below that is right for you
  • Detailed explanations of exercises and workouts are available
  • If the workouts take longer than 30 minutes or less than 5 minutes, decrease or increase your level, respectively
  • Do the 3 different workouts (days 1, 2, 3) 3 times each week (e.g. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday)
  • You are encouraged to log or post your workout details in order to track your progress and compare your results with others
  • Warm up by going through the exercises at a super slow, easy pace, working on form for several minutes
  • One week a month, allow your muscles to rest by doing the workouts several levels below your normal level
  • Speed should not come from fast movements, but rather from less rest between exercises
  • Bodyweight Exercises should be slow, include full range of motion, and with good form
  • Please do not sue me, I am poor. If something hurts, stop! Use common sense.
  • The only thing you may need for this workout is a pull-up bar 
  • To ad intensity and challenge try doing push ups and pull ups on a rings 
  • Doing Pull ups and push ups on rings greatly reduces the risk of repetitive strain and also makes the movements more dynamic recruiting more muscles 
Can't do a single pull up? No problem, just substitute!
