Best Bodyweight Exercises for Fitness and Weight Loss
Bodyweight exercises are a great way to help you lose weight. They also help to burn belly fat fast. They combine a cardiovascular workout with a muscle building workout, so burn fat while you are exercising out and also increase your metabolism as a result of muscle development. Bodyweight exercises are considered to be very “old school”, they are still promoted in martial arts classes, military fitness training and strength training for dance, sports and many other activities. Circuit training exercises are often part of a weight loss and fitness plan. One of the best things about a bodyweight workout is that you can perform most of the exercises with no equipment at all, so whether you are at home, in a hotel room, in the park or office, you can exercise when you want. The Bodyweight Exercise Routine This simple routine will work your whole body. When performing a bodyweight circuit you should exercise with intensity to maximise fat burning.

Top 10 Bodyweight Exercises for Beginners in Parkour
In Parkour, practitioners learn to turn the world into a playground. But they should also learn to use common objects like trees, rails, benches, and walls as exercise equipment. Even though I recommend some basic weightlifting for intermediate and advanced athletes, at APEX Movement, our level one students perform only bodyweight exercises. After all, you should not be moving around additional weight without a good understanding of how to move your own body. In this article, I have compiled a list of my top 10 exercises for beginners in Parkour. #10 Plant Plyos The plant plyo is a great exercise for building strength and power through commonly used movements including punching, squatting, tucking, landing, and blocking. #9 Lunges The lunge is a common exercise used to develop single leg strength. #8 Wall Handstand The handstand is an important fundamental of gymnastics, and should be in Parkour as well. #7 Broad Jump Burpees #6 Tuck Jump to Silent Landing #5 Knees to Elbows #4 Wall Dips
How to Level Up in the Game of Life | Nerd Fitness - StumbleUpon
Ding! This may be the sweetest sound you can possibly hear when playing a role-playing game (henceforth referred to as an RPG). “DING!” or something similar depending on the video game you’re playing, means that your character completed a certain number of quests, killed a specific number of monsters, and ran enough errands to level up. Congratulations, or “grats!” It’s this particular reason that games like World of Warcraft, Rift, Oblivion, Everquest 2, and any other RPG are so damn addictive: there’s always another level to reach, another dragon to kill, and better armor to acquire. Today, we’re going to turn life into a giant role playing game. Since day one, the tagline for Nerd Fitness has been “Level up your life.” Today, you’re going to learn how. Don’t complain about your starting zone Let’s assume that you hit the random button when creating your character in World of Warcraft - you were hoping for a good looking elf and ended up with a goofy-looking ogre. That’s life. Nope. -Steve
