How to get fit anywhere: what really works and why you don't need to train as hard as you think.
"New year. New me." Did you sign up for a gym in January and then only went twice?
Do you look at bodybuilders and think "If only I could be 50% as fit"?
Have you caught yourself giving up training because you're too busy?
If so, then you must know one thing - you have the wrong conception of fitness! It's not all about pouring gallons of sweat in the gym six days a week. It's not about eating only dry chicken with plain rice for the rest of your life, and you won't need expensive equipment and personal trainers to reach your goals.
In fact, all you need is proper bodyweight training. If it sounds scary - it really shouldn't. Most people start their training not knowing their limits, following general routines and making little to no changes in their lives. For some - the lucky few - it might work. But most of us need something more flexible, less straining and... much more effective.
There's absolutely no shame in trying to get in shape or lose weight. And it's commendable if you want to keep your fit body fit and agile for longer. Don't fall into the pitfall of the social pressure of the ideal body. As much as 79% of Americans are dissatisfied with their body appearance on a regular basis!
Most of us do not need grueling training and restrictive diets. Our lives are busy, we need to stay fit and healthy, and, let's face it, proper bodybuilding (not bodyweight!) training can wreak havoc on a body. Let's discover the secret to staying fit, healthy and satisfied with bodyweight training.
