Three Tips To Make Your Bodyweight Training Program Worthwhile
Bodyweight training is the perfect compliment to kettlebell training. In this article, Sacramento Kettlebell Instructor Forest Vance, RKC covers three tips to maximize the effectiveness of your bodyweight training program:
A bodyweight training program is the best supplement for a gym membership in case it gets too expensive to support. It is also an ideal regimen for those who are often on the road and for those who can’t afford or have nowhere to work out. However, the bodyweight training program often takes a backseat to professional gym memberships because most people may not be getting the most out of it. Here are three tips to make bodyweight training worthwhile:
1) Bodyweight training involves using one’s own body as a resistance to movement. Ordinary and familiar exercises done regularly and in variations make for an efficient bodyweight training program. You can do various forms of push-ups, pull-ups, squats, sit-ups and lounges. Some variety and simple modifications to these exercises will enhance target areas.
2) To make your bodyweight training program even better, combine it with cardiovascular exercises like biking, jogging, running or even swimming. Doing so would be even more appealing if you can find a park or even a stadium to do some long-distance running or jogging. You can for example do twenty push-ups, warm up with stationary jogging and then do two laps in a stadium or you could warm up with twenty pull-ups or sit-ups, do a few stretches before biking around the park several times. There are many combinations possible for this kind of exercise to keep things interesting and enjoyable.
3) To keep things balanced, set a schedule for you different workout combinations. For example, sit-ups and running for the first week, push-ups and cycling for the second week, pull-ups and running for the third week. Your schedule will be the third layer of variety to your bodyweight training program. Keep yourself in your toes with a variety of training schedules and enjoy great results by just using your bodyweight.
