Bestselling Author Jonny Bowden and I on the tennis court in LA… he’s lucky I didn’t have my racket. LOL!

Yesterday, I talked a little bit about exercise…

Today, I’m going to go deeper.

Like I said, Ann and I used to be personal trainers and it always surprised our clients when we told them this:

“If you don’t like the exercise that you’re doing, don’t do it.”

Every time, I said this, I got the same look.

The one that says… “huh?”

Let me explain.

If you really don’t like going to the gym, then frankly, I think you’re wasting your time going to the gym.

This doesn’t mean that you don’t exercise at all.

That would be foolish… (any one hear that? LOL!)

What is means is this:

We’re all engineered to move, so if you don’t like the exercise that you’re doing chances are you haven’t found the exercise that your body wants or needs.

I stopped going to the gym when I discovered bodyweight exercises.

(We recently did rejoin a gym in CA, but only for 3 months to switch it up a bit.)

Bodyweight exercises are multifunctional and extremely effective.

Why?

For these reasons…

1. Efficiency.

We’re all strapped for time, right?

So what if I told you that you could exercise, stretch, and lose weight in just 10-20 minutes a day?

It’s true, with bodyweight exercises you can be extremely efficient in terms of strength building, flexibility and aerobic training with only a short workout.

2. Core strength.

For the last 10 years, there’s been a lot of talk about core strength.

The reason why is because this is where you generate a lot of your motion for walking, lifting, moving and anything else you do.

(Pretty much everything, except sleeping.)

The reason it’s important to keep a strong core is because your body will over-compensate by using other muscles and eventually you can run into issues with injury.

3. Variety.

There are hundreds of exercises that fit any desire or need.

Our newly remodeled Bodyweight Exercises Manual contains 300+ pages of exercises and workouts.

I guarantee you can find a dozen or so that you love.

4. Balance and flexibility.

Because of the efficiency of these exercises, you can stretch while strengthening.

Balance is so important. Trust me you want to be able to keep it as long as possible coming from a guy who’s seen balance deteriorate for many of my clients.

Long term, this can mean falls and broken hips.

5. You can do them anywhere, with no equipment.

You don’t need expensive anything with bodyweight exercises. Just a book showing you how to do them and a space just about the size of a small bathroom.

You can find me doing these exercises at playgrounds, between beds in hotel rooms and even at the airport in between flights.

If I can do them in those places, you can do them in your living room.

There are more, but these are some of the most important of all.

I’d love for you to check out our second edition of our bodyweight exercise manual because I’m sure you could use a re-boot in your fitness routine. Most people do.

The book is a tool that you can have for a long time to come to reference, revisit and help you get into great shape using very little time.
