Anyone else using primarily bodyweight techniques to develop strength? I have recently read: Bodyweight strength training humankinetics.com Convict conditioning amazon.co.uk In keeping with my allergy to gyms ( never been in one ) and being indoors in general, I like the idea of minimal equipment. That and I cannot see myself needing to pick up weights with bars attached in the near future, but moving my own body over obstacles is quite likely ;-p So despite the posturing of the title, I find quite a bit of sense coming from Wade. Hence, I am following the plan in Convict Conditioning with some adaptation when transitioning between exercises. So far, so good. Anyone else had any success with this, or recommendations for other resources? |

I've used 'you are your own gym' by Mark Lauren which is pretty good. Am using a 30 day beach body plan from interwebby for January to try and keep a bit varied is supposed to be for woman but hey ho Key for me is a plan which takes minimal time with all the running and cycling alongside it. |

Thanks guys, I'll peruse those resources too. Used to like having a physical job. Ex-Postie amongst other things, but now I'm stuck in a classroom Jobs that keep me fit & the family fed are now no longer viable in this economic climate Though I'd love for that to change in the future... (Got some plans brewing ) |
