This weekend I went down to the East London Gymnastics Club for a workout. I’ve always been a huge fan of bodyweight training and believe that nobody should be training with additional weights until they can master their own bodyweight.
Bodyweight training is hard work and uses all of your muscles together rather than just one or two. This type of training carves out a fantastic physique as well as burning fat at a rapid rate. You only had to take a look at some of the gymnasts at this years Olympics to see what I mean.
The best thing about bodyweight training is you can do it anywhere and anytime, and make it as easy or as hard as you want.
Here’s a few weekend pics of me putting myself through some really intense circuits:
Rope Climb with legs out
One Legged Squats on a balance beam
One Leg Balance Beam Press Ups
Continuous Balance Beam Jumps
and later showing the kids some of my old silver screen martial arts moves:
Flying Side Kick
Flying Front Kick - Look out!
So get off those boring and useless machines down the gym and start doing some bodyweight training, its more fun and you’ll enjoy the results too!
I’ve actually written a downloadable ebook with 60 bodyweight exercises, you can find it here:

To your good health, Greg
