If you want the best fitness, fat loss and physique building workouts, these comprehensive programs get RESULTS! Most people perform an abdominal workout made up exclusively of bodyweight exercises.
Sit ups, crunches, leg raises and about a million variations of these bodyweight ab exercises have been used by people all over the world to strengthen the core.
Undoubtably, this would lead one to conclude they believe bodyweight abdominal exercises have value and are effective for abdominal training.
But what about the rest of the body?
Why not use bodyweight exercises for a full body workout instead of just an abdominal workout?
It seems that while bodyweight exercise is FINE, even recommended, for an abdominal workout... other forms of training are better for the rest of the body.
This is just not so!
Bodyweight exercise can and should be used to strengthen and improve ALL parts of the body.
As a matter of fact, I believe bodyweight exercise to be the logical starting point for any well balanced fitness program... and should remain an integral part of physical training.
If you are one of the people who only employ bodyweight exercises during the abdominal workout... I encourage you to explore other forms of bodyweight exercise for the upper and lower body as well.
Bodyweight calisthenics exercise will strengthen and condition the body in ways resistance exercise doesn’t... and following a progressive bodyweight training program will take to new heights of fitness.
