Top 10 Best Bodyweight Exercises for Advanced and Beginners - The Renegade Health Show Episode #104

July 25, 2008 |


, , , , , , , , ,

I love bodyweight exercises…

So this list was pretty easy to compile. I’ve been studying bodyweight exercises for years now and I always come back to these specific ones.

This list is actually a double top 10, since I do a beginner variation of each one for those of you who are working to build your strength. :-)

Take a look now…

Your question of the day: What’s your favorite bodyweight exercise?

Click here, scroll down to the bottom of the page and leave your comment now!

If you do want an encyclopedia of dozens more, then check out Steve Cotter’s bodyweight exercise DVD set. It’s 3 DVD’s of bodyweight exercises from quite possibly the most amazing physical specimen on the planet. Steve is the real deal! (He’s worked with Mixed Martial artists to Pro Football players!)

Live Awesome!

    Thanks Kevin for this excellent top ten.
    I only practice Yoga and walk one hour every day. My exercise routine feels incomplete … I’m gonna start to practice some of your exercises.

    Hi Kevin, Love your show! Your enthusiasm is infective. I will try some of the excercises. I am recovering from knee surgery, so need excercises I can do without putting too much stress on my knees. Also I am very overweight, any ideas for this?
    Thanks Sonja

    PUSHUPS!! (preferably with feet elevated higher than hands)

    PULLUPS!!!

    two of the best ever.

  4. Linda on July 26, 2008 10:29 am

    How about “doorknobs” with outstretched arms? Love the burn….

  5. Kevin Gianni on July 26, 2008 11:57 am

    I love pushups and pull ups too! The hindu or military pushup works more though… more bang for the buck. Pull ups, I didn’t include because you need equipment, or at least a low tree branch.

    “doorknobs” what are those? :-)

    Val and Sonja, I’ll address these questions in an upcoming show for everyone to benefit from!

    Live Awesome!

    I actually tried to do the bridge a few days before this episode and realised that my hip flexors are not as flexible as they used to be! Will use the build up exercises to help get back that flexibility.

    Thanks Kevin :-)

    Personally, I like using Kettle Bells. I love how quickly they have transformed my body and my back and knees are much stronger. Thanks, Linda

    Hi Kevin - I’m going to show my husband this post, he’ll really appreciate it. I’d like you to know that your blog was awarded by me. You always offer great information. Thank you.

    I like doing shoulder stands and i am building on head syands at the moment to.

    Hi Kevin,
    Thanks for all the great info. I loooove your show and have been telling everyone about it…
    Just a quick question on the bodyweight exercises… I am very new to exercise (my major form of exercise is walking and some beginning yoga and rebounding), am seriously out of shape and have about 100 lbs to drop… Do you think that the bodyweight exercises are the way to go and how would i come up with a routine… Do you think your top 10 would be sufficient as a full body regimen?
    thanks so much and keep up the good work!

    Hi Kevin I have an extremely slow internet connection at present and will have until at least December. Is there anyway of downloading the video clips? If I try and watch online it takes 1/2hr5 or more and I only get to listen to a few words at a time.

    Regards
    Rachel

    Hi Kevin,
    thank you for this substantial health week and congratulation to your persistance to give us almost each day some minutes of your life!
    My favourite exercise for short time is stair climbing with some weights that are around (some bottles, a paket, stones).
    By the way I knew the #1 and #2 from a german health trainer, who also knows the eastern origin of these exercises. May I ask you, where have you learned about it?

  13. Jonathan Silva on July 29, 2008 1:20 pm

    Good stuff!

    Funny how the Hindu exercises are at the top of the list. Do they know something we don’t? Haha.

  14. don on August 10, 2008 11:10 pm

    what about muscle-ups and HSPUs?

  15. hi on October 1, 2008 6:51 pm

    tyvm for this list, helped me a ton!

    Hello and good day
    I am responsible for the Physical Training of 560 people. First there are three objectives that must be meet. Cost, Quality, and Convenience… Your top 10 is great
